**Brooke ** 00:14 Hello and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. This is your monthly installment of This Month in the Apocalypse, where we talk about the shitty news from around the world.

**Inmn ** 00:28 But also some cool stuff. and some funny stuff.

**Brooke ** 00:32 And some funny stuff. I am one of your hosts today, Brooke, and with me is....

**Inmn ** 00:40 I'm Inmn and my brain is in a horrifying state today, which only comes from researching heavily about, unfortunately, mostly bad things that happened but also some cool things that happened in the last month.

**Brooke ** 00:58 Alright, let's talk about those. But first, let's give a shout out to one of the other podcasts on the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts to which we also belong. But here's some words from some of our friends. Doot doot doo duh doo doo dooo. [Singing the sounds like a simple melody]

**Brooke ** 01:54 And we're back. Welcome back. So many fun things to talk about. I'm sorry you've also had to spend the morning reviewing all sorts of terrible events in the world.

Thanks everyone who's reached out to be like, "No, no, I really like these segments, and they do the opposite of despair." So thank you, everyone.

**Brooke ** 03:46 Yeah, I've got something that's the opposite of despair.

**Inmn ** 03:49 Oh, really? What is the opposite of despair?

**Brooke ** 03:53 Revenge travel.

**Inmn ** 03:55 Oh?

**Brooke ** 03:56 Do you know what this is?

**Inmn ** 03:58 No, I have no idea what you're...

**Brooke ** 04:00 Okay. So if I say the phrase to you, revenge travel, what do you assume? Like what would you guess that I'm talking about?

**Inmn ** 04:08 Um, I think wha
