Talking Scared · 289 – Annie Jacobsen & Be Afraid… Be Very Afraid · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

I'm great. voice-verified

Thank you so much for having me today. voice-verified

Well, thank you. voice-verified

You know, I love narrative and I really enjoy podcasts and you have a wonderful one. voice-verified

So thank you very much for having me. voice-verified

I'm just still thinking about what you just said, the literature of fear. voice-verified

I'm going to borrow that because, you know, I really enjoy talking about narrative because it's so much about the people and I am so much about the people. voice-verified

I would not, my books would not exist and they wouldn't be great if it weren't for the people who tell me in narrative form what they have experienced, or rather maybe they tell me in scientific fact form and then it's my job voice-verified

to turn that into a narrative that all of us can understand. voice-verified

The top level premise would be I take the reader from outbreak to anarchy in six days. voice-verified

And then what happens after day six? voice-verified

Spoiler alert. voice-verified

We can talk about that. voice-verified

That's the really scary narrative. voice-verified

I mean, on top of horror, that's where it just goes, whoa. voice-verified

And again, this reads like science fiction, but it is science fact. voice-verified

I am referring to actual government programs. voice-verified

Perfect. voice-verified

That's perfect. voice-verified

That's exactly what it is. voice-verified
