Episode notes

"I had visions of people just running into the ocean to try and avoid, like, the hell fire that was abount to fothe. Next thing i remember is hearing somebody through the door outside of our room saying, ya, a missile has headed our way." "The very fact that i didn't instantly think it was a false alarm ... did just make me recognize with a kind of new clarity that we are in crazy times"

Our New ToE series on the battle between the real and the fake begins with a text alert sent out to everyone in Hawaii on a balmy Saturday morning. We also hear from the man who has written the text alert that will go out to all New Yorkers in the event of a real emergency. Photographer Stan Douglas shows us how to reconstruct a future that makes sense, and your host turns to fellow podcaster Jody Avirgan for advice on how to own the “real-ish” podcast genre. Plus the little boy who cried wolf meets the Emperor with no clothes!
