Every book Chris Begley recommended on podcasts
Chris Begley appeared on Behind the Bastards to discuss his archaeological research and his book, The Next Apocalypse. Begley spoke about his fieldwork in Honduras, explaining how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted his original plans for interviews and practical research logistics while writing the text. He reflected on themes of agricultural sustainability, community preparedness, and the limitations of short-term food storage when communities face long-term crises. Additionally, Begley discussed how his book addresses concepts of diversity and inclusion, arguing that examining historical and contemporary diversity should be understood as a benefit to entire communities rather than something enacted solely to assist marginalized groups. Through these reflections, Begley connected his academic expertise in ancient civilizations to contemporary survivalist narratives and social issues.
