On Tuesday 10pm, the National Geographic Channel is gonna have a show on
what would happen if we were to get hit with an electromagnetic pulse...

No boomboxes, no iPods, no TV, no internet, no NOTHING...
There's gotta be a way to save SOMETHING of ours!?! :'-(

Value would skyrocket for the ones left unaffected...

That's definitely an unwanted situation. However, it might not be that bad for boomboxes:

Protecting electrical equipment is simple if it can be unplugged from AC outlets, phone systems, or long antennas. But that assumes that you won't be using it when the EMP strikes. That isn't all that practical and--if a nuclear war were drawn out or an attack occurred in waves spread over hours or days-- you'd have to either risk damage to equipment or do without it until things had settled down for sure.

One simple solution is to use battery-operated equipment which has cords or antennas of only 30 inches or less in length. This short stretch of metal puts the device within the troughs of the nuclear-generated EMP wave and will keep the equipment from getting a damaging concentration of electrons. Provided the equipment isn't operated close to some other metal object (i.e., within 8 feet of a metal girder, telephone line, etc.), it should survive without any other precautions being taken with it.
