I have listened to several of these apocalyptic broadcast dramas and have enjoyed them a lot. THIS ONE, however, was a big disappointment. Oh, it began successfully enough, and the storyline held the potential to be as engaging as the other doomsday scenarios. Then the heavy sermonizing started up, built on faulty presumptions or anthropological causes of eruption not supported by environmental or geological science. Likewise, the worldwide impact of this hypothetical event is a bit of a stretch. The environmental extremism is evident in this green propaganda production that became too tedious to continue listening. In general, really like these episodes, but yeah, you really pulled this one out of your ass.
I'm really sorry! I completely agree with you. I feel like I’ve failed with this video. I’ve thought several times about deleting it because, while writing the story, I had something else in mind, but I ended up losing the plot. I wasn’t able to justify the reasons properly, and I fell short on logical and scientific explanations. I’m counting on your input please let me know if I should delete it and rework the scenario with stronger logic and better scientific justification.
@@Apocasts Thank you for responding and sharing your struggle with development of this storyline. I wish that all tasks that we attempt could be successes. I suppose that not all of them can be. That is the hard part of the learning process. Not sure if you have created episodes about other geological scenarios. Certainly, a story about a cataclysmic earthquake, such as in the New Madrid or Cascadia fault zones would affect a continent and beyond (via tsunami and by triggering numerous volcanic eruptions). The ensuing devastation would be entirely credible. The forces in nature defy human comprehension.
Your work is always appreciated and loved. This story of the Yellowstone SV is an apocalyptic type event I was hoping to really get the nerves worked up on... it fell short on the drama and suspension and just ended up leaning heavily on just narration. Would love to hear something closer narrating the day, the event, the drama, and the world's response. Great work regardless 👏
The narration is as spot on as always . Enjoy winding down at night to them .. this one lost a bit with some “realism of the event “ but I do under how a storyline sometimes just loses coherency and is difficult to gather it back in
Has anyone posting comments ever been through an ash fall? I have, Mt. Redoubt, Alaska. This is. pretty close to how it affects humans. The ash clouds are smothering, your vehicle will not run, highly abrasive to everything, inside and out of your home. USGS has been warning this for awhile. Yellowstone will blow. Hey, just dont breath, walk, talk, eat or drink, blieve the "gov". Blessings
"Quite the fictional work" Typical hick response. You know there's been plenty of times fracking and other oil drilling activities have caused environmental disasters, right?
Yeah scientists are usually wrong. Kind of like the whole “climate change” thing proved to be total nonsense. Afterall they said polar bears would be extinct by 2020. It’s now 2025 and polar bears are still here and thriving.
@@blake7587Thriving? Bit of hyperbole on that, their numbers are way down and habitat less than half what it was. The adaptation to cross with grizzlies is a cool outcome tho.
@@RogueWave2030 WRONG 😂. The population numbers are skyrocketing. This is why Zoomers are so vulnerable to propaganda because they don’t even know basic fact 🙄. If global warming was real they should be extinct by 2020. Face it: It’s the same fear mongering tactic Leftists have used for over a century. Just like how in the 1970s they were telling everyone that global cooling was going to kill everyone 😂.
The first super eruption from the Yellowstone hotspot occurred at the crooked river Caldera in Oregon 29.5 million years ago, around 10 million years before the Columbia river flood basalt eruptions, which also resulted from the Yellowstone hotspot.
I've just discovered this channel and I'm glad I did. You have the gift of storytelling. Have you put a nuclear exchange into this human frame of reference? If not, would you consider it? Another thing I'd like to hear your take on would be a New Madrid event. I'll be listening to whatever you choose to do.
Excellent work! I think that humanity cannot really have an impact on kilometers deep volcanic systems, perhaps we would have some level of culpability, but in reality, how would surface alterations have any impact?
If you like this you will like the series Gray by Lou Cadle, You can get the audio book collection for 1 credit on Audible and is 24 hours long, it's well worth the listen.
Jack Haze is not a very active protagonist. I love the epic scale of your stories but hunger for a character who wants something, is doing something to get it, has setbacks, pushes on anyway, and has some kind of resolution. Jack in his bunker, is an observer - he tells the story like a sports commentator. It's like this isn't his problem, he lives on the moon and is watching all this through his telescope. I want him to broadcast from a portable transmitter. He can report what he saw first hand, exhibit his feelings about it, and have problems of his own that keeps him on the run. He can still talk about what's going on around the world but he has to cut it off short because he's got to find a secure place to spend the night and there is a small gang that seem to be following him. Also, his 12-year-old daughter is missing. Take a listen to the original radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Keep in mind people spoke differently 87 years ago but the art of story telling has not changed.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! You’ve given me a lot to think about, and I love the idea of making Jack more active in the story. I’ll definitely check out the War of the Worlds broadcast for inspiration-thank you for that suggestion!
@@Apocasts Also, I think a lot of the negative comments are a byproduct of not giving Jack enough to do. To get the word count up there he's got to do a lot of "navel gazing". - that's hard stuff to write in a compelling way. Another notion that came to mind, we don't know much about Jack. The story is all about what is happening and he's left pretty much undefined. How is it that he has access to broadcasting equipment? Is he a guy doing a religious broadcast when the zombies come? Then it's not just the the events but also how he sees things. Maybe he's doing the dispatch for first responders and we hear others calling in. Or maybe it's a girl hiking in the woods who , running for her life, finds a forest ranger's radio tower and is calling for help because her boyfriend is now a ten-foot-tall insect. She doesn't know how to operate the equipment too well. Eventually she gets someone on the other end but he too is a human insect. The point being your protagonist could be all sorts of people and that's part of the fun. (the most predictable is ex-military special ops dude with too much muscle and a gun too big to pick up.)
Please start uploading on Spotify!! Too many of us are at work and can't run RUclips, or use our phones enough that running RUclips to listen to something is impractical. Spotify atleast let's you have background play.😊
excellent story, very chilling and riveting. There is not a dam thing that humanity can do about a volcano going off. If the Yellowstone caldera explodes, then America is gone, finished. And the rest of the world will not be much better off. And there is not a dammed thing we can do about it, regardless of whatever warnings or foreshadows we may get. So do you live your life in constant fear of something that might happen tomorrow, or in a thousand years? or do you just get on with it. .
How come this is the first time I’m hearing that WE are the reason the caldera is erupting? Interesting. Were we around 640,000 years ago when it last erupted? Who caused it to erupt then?
Hey there! Looking through the comments here is odd. Please don't feel discouraged to discuss climate related issues in a way that is critical just because it didn't work how you wanted for this video. You are allowed to care about things. Something to consider is that generally, your audience will consist of different types of people, including people who *wish* there would be some sort of disaster like the ones you depict. Others, like myself, may take some form of solace in considering how much worse our world could be. However, people who wish for a disaster of this magnitude also combine with people who believe it WILL. Generally, conservatives are more likely to believe conspiracies of this sort (especially within the last ~8 years, as politicians on the right have done this outwardly and made more people take it for facts). Conservatives are also much less likely to believe in the idea of climate change or the human role in its acceleration. None of this is to pin some sort of blame on conservatives, but it's worth thinking about in the context of your work. I greatly enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing all of your posts to come. I hope that you won't feel pressured by some of your audience to act as someone you are not in order to appease them. All the best!
So we are also responsible for the eruption that happened over 500,00 years ago? Great content but this one is just a blame humanity rant. Make a vid about an asteroid...
POLITICAL … This has too many POLITICAL comments of unproven wild theories that are agenda oriented. I generally like these broadcasts but this one is poor, even without regard to the political bull sh**!
@craiggillett5985 yeah, I've been enjoying these videos, but something seems off about the voice. I wonder if it's AI as well. I'd like it not to be, but it strikes me as odd.
It wouldnt affect the whole world. The ash cloud would disipate over the seas. And as you said ash is heavy and would fall down way before it reaches lets say Hawaii. And many european countrys. As well as asia. I agree it would be a terrifying blow to us humans but not an extinction event for all humanity. It would hit US Canada and Russia parts of the North pole, WW3 Would be worse as a comparison. 👽☝️
Dislike. I tried the WW 3 one and now this one. Both suffer from a dull, dragging narration. Perhaps that's past your budget, so I'd understand. But I found both intolerable.

I agree. I unsubscribed after the sermonizing on climate change somehow being the cause or accelerating the Yellowstone event. Completely unnecessary.
I live 300 miles from Yellowstone. We have volva rock from the last big one.
Thank you for all your hard work
I feel like I’m listening to an activist yell at me for an hour lol
Yea I loved the ice age one but I'm already bored ten minutes in because of the bad human talk
@davoman5781 and if this is your reaction then clearly irony is lost on you
Yeah I can understand the ice age and rain storm one connecting back to Humans but valcanoes is a hell of a stretch.
I wish your channel had more videos these are so dope !! 💯 IV watch almost everything I'm addicted!! Please keep making more !!
Really great broadcast but humans did not cause volcanoes to go off
but they could
Great!! Thanks for making this bro 🔥
Yellowstone. Nice topic
I'm never gonna look at my lava lamp the same again. Thanks for another great end-of-civilization video!

Thank You!
Wow, quite the fictional work. Yellowstone doesn't need us as a reason to erupt
"Quite the fictional work"
Typical hick response. You know there's been plenty of times fracking and other oil drilling activities have caused environmental disasters, right?
Fracking can affect certain zones...
Yellowstone first erupted 2 million years ago. Glad we weren't there to take the blame for that one!
Yeah scientists are usually wrong.

Love this - thank you for a great video.
Also hope you ignore the 'environmental scientists' dropping negative comments. Your stories are great, keep em coming.
Chilling radio broadcast
Keep up the good work
Just saw this. Looking forward to it
Do one where the moon explodes
Read Neal Stephenson's "Seveneves".
Excellent work! I think that humanity cannot really have an impact on kilometers deep volcanic systems, perhaps we would have some level of culpability, but in reality, how would surface alterations have any impact?
Be careful challenging any narrative from the left
Começando o ano bem. You are the best
I ❤ your videos. Can you create a story about cyber war?
Haven’t listened yet but this one looks great
Interesting 👍
I hate the way my car is causing a super volcano explode.
Some of these are fun escapist listens. Then there are ones like this. I started expecting an angry child to come on screen asking “How Dare You”?! 😂
!!! If it's not one thing, it's another! Please do one on cyber tech dust fog that turns humans into the collective!!!
Check out Michael Crichton's book Prey. Pretty much that exact plot
Despite some of the negative nellies. I thought this was a fun listen.
Whoohoo! The whole world!
This is a “Yellowstone” that I can watch! 😁

Die Menscheit ist und bleibt ein Fluch für diesen wunderschönen Planeten! Das bestätigt sie jeden Tag aufs neue😢
Well this is why the US midwest has such fertile soil. From the last eruption.
odd, there's a new video on DW Documentary about yellow stone eruption, coincidence?
Nice
Ugh earth guilt syndrome.. again.
Channels like these are hidden gems and underated i fall asleep to these i hope to never live them.

YES
Everything is Joe Biden’s fault…
Somehow, climate change and humanity, primarily American patriots, will have caused the space rock to hit the planet.
We are overdue by 100k so could happen anytime
a little news flash, the earth is not our home anyway. this life is temporary anyway
