Featured in the Deep Dive TV podcast by Korman Productions: Earth Abides on MGM+ Deep Dive Episode 1 “Alone” with Dave and Stacie (2024). Usually the first episode would be a decent one, but not here, which is especially bad given that it’s about a global pandemic that’s seemingly ending civilization.
