b'It has been said that the apocalypse is as American as apple pie, and for our season finale we are exploring different versions of the end of the world, the hyper-religious, the new age, and the scientific, as well as Chelsey\\u2019s personal experience with the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse. The stories we tell about the end of time tend to involve not only a series of cataclysmic, devastating events, but also the saving of an elect few, and the punishing and death of the rest. While none of the end times predictions have come to pass, major leaps in technology have opened us up to both the potential nuclear war and the potential for climate disaster, terrifying realities that prove more difficult to face than our fantasies. What comes next is up to us.\\xa0\\n\\nAmerican Hysteria is written, produced, and hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith\\nProduced and edited by Clear Commo Studios\\nResearch assisted by Riley Smith\\nShow art by Roache\\nVoice Acting by Will Rogers\\n\\nBecome a Patron for extra episodes, interviews, and videos monthly!\\nFollow American Hysteria on social media:\\nTwitter: @AmerHysteria\\nInstagram: @AmericanHysteriaPodcast\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
