BONUS | Doomsday: History’s Most Interesting Updatasode of 2024

Hello! And welcome to this very brief end-of-year update of Doomsday: History’s Most Dangerous podcast! Together we rediscover some of the most traumatic, bizarre and awe-inspiring but largely unheard-of or forgotten disasters from throughout human history and around the world.

Let me begin today’s exciting episode by explaining the next episode will be late but I wanted to use this opportunity to quickly get you salivating over a few things coming up, and explain a few things that’ll make you all “say whaaat?”

I want to do something reeeally big for December. I’ve been in discussion with a surprising number of you who’ve settled on a common and popular request: a Very Doomsday Christmas Chernobylsode! Hang the holly and take your iodide caplets – what’s more festive (and on-brand) than a little face-melting horror for the holidays?

Not just that – a very unique and singular listener of the show asked, nay, begged to hear a minisode covering and explaining the Waffle House Index. And the request came from highly unusual origins. You ever do a DNA test? Well, I did a DNA test, and for my Patreons, I’m going to be sharing the very complicated, bittersweet, lightly tragic and dramatic story of my discovery. And whatever you're guessing – you're already wrong.

When people find a flaw in the editing or sound production, or a week goes by without a show, I point out this show is created while the rest of you sleep, and I’m happy episodes release at all. And if it wasn’t for my Patreons, they would not – I can’t emphasize that enough. If not for the generosity of our Patreon supporters, I would move onto male stripping or pet theft or something really shady and there would not be a show.

If you were lucky enough to live near a Waffle House or already know exactly how your family tree works, why not celebrate by considering becoming a supporter at Patreon.com/FuneralKazoo. Early episodes with no ad breaks and additional ridiculously interesting material in each new episode are up for grabs.

If the spirit of the season moves, but only so much, you’re very welcome to visit buymeacoffee.com/doomsday and just buy a cup of coffee so to speak. You can reach out on twitter, instagram and facebook as DoomsdayPodcast or fire us an email to [e-mail]
On the next episode:  Sorry I had to blow you off for a week, but I’m confident that this new episode is going to blow you away. Maybe into a tree, or into a broken section of flying railroad track – who knows. Either way, we’re all going to drown! It’s the Galveston Hurricane Disaster of 1900!

But until then, we’ll talk soon. Safety googles off. And thanks for listening.
