Good but too much melodrama & inefficiency

“I listened to all of the episodes. While it includes good info and was sometimes quite thought-provoking and troubling, I think this podcast series would be more effective if it had been a little less melodramatic/sniveling/cutesy and a lot more specific and can-do. The website (kpcc.org/thebigone) includes a link to a FEMA pamphlet listing specific household things people should have prepared. A lot more of those very practical details should have been integrated into the podcast’s story-telling. Gathering up a bunch of water, canned goods, a first aid kit, etc would not THAT much of a hassle for most people/families so don’t make it sound like it is! Why not show how easy it is to spend a Saturday at your neighborhood Wateria, supermarket, and hardware store and then stashing everything appropriately at home. Likewise spending a little time thinking about what you’d do if a big quake occurred while you’re at work or elsewhere isn’t that hard to do. So, the dramatic sniveling about those things was a turn-off.
And the bit with the gun-fixated survivalist-artist with the goofy playing cards should have been edited out. He just sounded like unhelpful, negative jerk.”
