Apocalypse 101 was a TV show that aired on the National Geographic channel in 2013. The show stars John Beach, Mike Kozeliski, and Joel Stevens, who are all experts in survival and emergency preparedness. The show focuses on the hypothetical scenario of an apocalyptic event and how the three hosts would survive it.

Each episode of the show begins by presenting a different scenario in which an apocalyptic event has occurred. The hosts then work together to come up with a plan to survive in this new world. Some scenarios include a catastrophic virus outbreak, a massive meteor strike, or a complete breakdown of society.

Throughout the show, the hosts demonstrate a variety of survival skills such as hunting, trapping, and building shelters. They also discuss the importance of having a survival mindset and being prepared for any situation. In addition, the hosts often come up with creative solutions to the challenges presented by the apocalyptic event, such as repurposing everyday items or scavenging for supplies.

One of the unique aspects of Apocalypse 101 is the interactivity with the audience. Throughout each episode, the hosts ask the viewers questions and encourage them to participate in the survival planning process. At the end of each episode, the hosts present a “survival score” that rates how well they did in their survival efforts.

Another interesting feature of the show is the use of experts and interviews with actual survivors. The hosts turn to experts in various fields such as botany or metallurgy to learn more about how to survive in specific situations. They also interview people who have survived real-life disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, to gain more insight into the challenges of survival.

While the show has a serious tone and presents real-world scenarios, there are also moments of humor and levity. The hosts have a fun and friendly dynamic, and their banter adds some entertainment value to the show. Additionally, some of the scenarios presented are quite outlandish, such as an attack by giant spiders, which adds an element of absurdity.

Overall, Apocalypse 101 is an engaging and informative show that provides valuable tips and insights for emergency preparedness. The hosts are knowledgeable and relatable, and the scenarios presented are both entertaining and informative. The show encourages viewers to think about their own preparedness and to consider the importance of having a survival plan.

Apocalypse 101 is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (5 episodes). The series first aired on March 12, 2013.
