THE SOCIAL MELTDOWN
The Social Meltdown is a weekly glance at the latest chaos in a world on the perma-brink. AI hallucinations. Big Tech force-feeding us slop, Influencers crying in ring lights … UNHINGED politics and of course Your letters! Yes Yours!
Based very loosely on the sub Reddit R/Collapse, where people share stories and theories on how little time humanity has left.
Be part of our community of agnostic doom preppers. Because if we really do only have about 20 years left, let’s spend them having a laugh with two hosts who are neither expert nor well prepared. But they are sometimes funny.
Dylan Evans and Graeme Smith used to work together on the checkout at Lidl. It was from here they first honed their skills on the in store tannoy.
They were eventually given a teatime show on the tannoy of the Liverpool store by the big wigs at head office in Slough and the rest could have been broadcasting history …
until Dylan quit checkout duties unexpectedly and left Graeme red faced at the tannoy, shouting about special offers on pork chops… all by himself! Now they are reunited at their respective microphones .. to put the world to rights. Just as it’s all about to be over anyway. Shame really.
They are by no means to be confused with leading UK TIk Tok creator Dylan Evans or the national radio host and multi award winning LGBTQ+ podcaster Graeme Smith.
Any likeness is purely coincidental.
