Transcript

This Year in the Apocalypse 2022

Brooke 00:15 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm Brooke Jackson, your co-host for this episode, along with the indomitable Margaret killjoy.

Margaret 00:27 Hiiii

Brooke 00:28 We have something extra special for you. Hi, Margaret. You might be familiar with the monthly segment we started in 2022: This Month in the Apocalypse, and today we will take that into a sub segment: This Year in the Apocalypse. But, first we have to shout out to another member of the Channel Zero network of anarchists podcasts, but playing a little jingle from one of our comrades, Boo doo doo doo, doo doo.

Brooke 01:18 And we're back. So, before I tell people about this extra special episode, I want to officially say "Hello," to my co host, Margaret. Hi, Margaret.

Margaret 01:36 Hello, how are you?

Brooke 01:38 I'm doing okay. How are you doing?

Margaret 01:42 I'm doing terrible, and I'm not going to talk about it.

Brooke 01:45 Okay, that's fair. That sounds like me most of the time. Okay, well, speaking of terrible, how did the last year treat you now that we've flipped the calendar? Is there anything you would like to say to the year 2022?

Margaret 01:59 You know, it's fine. It's just the year 2020 part three. As far as the other parts of the year 2020, it's been...it was chiller, then parts one and two. Not from a climate point of view, but from a fascism point of view.

Brooke 02:21 Oh, okay. That's a good point. Well, I feel like 2022 as with most years....Sorry. What, Margaret?

Margaret 02:30 Everything's fine. Nothing bad happened. That's the end of the episode.

Brooke 02:33 Always.

Margaret 02:34 Everything's good.

Brooke 02:35 Okay, cool. Well, this has been a fun recording. Yeah. Well, as with most years, in the last decade, I say, "Fuck you to 2022," and would like to burn it all down. So, we have that going for us.

Margaret 02:51 Alright, fuck you, 2022. I do that when I leave a state.

Brooke 02:58 You say, "Fuck you," to the State behind you?
