Ampocalypse | Dan Palmer of Zebrahead on Counselling Apocalypse Survivors at Slam Dunk

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Dan Palmer of Zebrahead for another Slam Dunk Special as he steps into his very own festival apocalypse.With the gates closed and the outside world descending into chaos, Dan imagines what it would take to survive an apocalypse at Slam Dunk Festival. From identifying which festival tribes would thrive, to deciding what supplies become the most valuable commodities, the conversation blends humour, survival strategy, and the unique sense of community that exists within the festival scene.Along the way, Dan explains why festival culture could be the key to keeping people together when everything else falls apart, shares his thoughts on leadership during a crisis, and reveals why alcohol, food, clean socks and good music might be just as important as any survival plan. He even finds himself taking on an unexpected role as the apocalypse’s resident guidance counsellor.Whether you’re a festival veteran, a mosh pit warrior, or simply wondering how long society could survive on festival supplies alone, this Slam Dunk Special offers plenty of laughs and surprisingly practical survival advice.🤘 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and subscribe to Ampocalypse.
