Summary: Subscribe to iTunes here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/revolution-podcast-revolutionfancast/id564246626 Tune in with Jake and The Engineer as we discuss the show and how realistic it may be. NOTICE: We have a way for you to give us your feedback via Voice Mail - give it a try. Look over to the right and click on "Send Voicemail" The pilot episode opens with cars stopping, cell phones shorting out, lights go dead and planes fall from the sky. Then move forward 15 years and see how the survivors are coping without power then as well. Of course, lots of things have changed - like "square foot gardening" out of the hood of a Prius... I can say that is one use I can agree with... We will offer kudos to the show when deserved and we'll take a pot-shot at less-than-real scenarios and we hope you will also. Please comment on the good/bad of the podcast and how we can improve it. We also want to hear your theories about the show, plot and any speculation you have.
