• Survival for the reluctant spouse / parent / child -- A basic introduction to personal survival in various settings from an "expert" (as opposed to my incoherent ravings, which seem to lack... something.) I know my Mom, fer instance, is much more likely to believe something if it comes from someone she doesn't know.
  • Hurricane prepation. Not just a list of crap, but a discussion of how to decide whether to stay or go, where to go, what to take, what not to take, what to expect, etc.
  • Overview of various levels of local, state and federal emergency infrastructure. I've been fascinated by the bits of info dropped by our resident experts. It'd be great to do a show on, say, flooding and have MartinFocazio as a guest, interview about how they prepare for such an event, etc. Some of our people helped out in New Orleans. That'd be way cool to hear about. AyersTG went to help with the hurricane aftermath, etc. The point of all this would be to help me understand what to expect in the way of help after a given disaster, and what I should do to help them help me.
  • Lessons Learned. Do one of these after every major disaster. Heck, do one just like your stories on the front page. Profile a particular disaster, interview the survivers, highlight the mistakes, make suggestions, etc. Just an audio version of some your existing stories would be great, I think.
  • PSP Advertisement. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Pick a scenario, say... downed small plane pilot. Show how the items in your PSP are used to help the pilot survive until help arrives. Shameless self promotion and darned useful, too.
  • Audio book version of your "gear and equipment" section. Don't just read the existing web site... too much of it is useless without the pics. Rather, make the topic of gear and equipment into one or several shows, and expound about the mindset one should have when choosing and using tools in various categories.
  • General musings. I'm absolutely certain you have interesting stories you could tell. Tell us. Please. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
