Welcome to the "Zombie Book Club," the podcast where Dan and Leah meet in their zombie bunker to discuss zombies, spreadsheets, and survival stories. In this episode, Dan shares his progress on writing about resilient people surviving a zombie outbreak. Meanwhile, Leah talks about her book club spreadsheets, detailing representation and demographics in the books we have read here on Zombie Book Club, including a breakdown by race and gender. Leah also explores other aspects of her life, like her passion for drawing chickens and her growing concerns over social issues such as U.S.-backed genocides in Palestine and the Congo.
The episode's topic is survival, featuring Chris's harrowing story of growing up in Valparaiso, Indiana, and experiencing severe blizzards. The account describes how these blizzards led to dangerous conditions, with authorities enforcing safety by ramming vehicles off the road during a state of emergency. Chris’s story unfolds with gripping detail, describing the extreme weather's impact on daily life and the perils faced by those seeking shelter. Leah contributes her personal survival stories, recounting instances of near-drowning, fleeing from abuse, and escaping dangerous situations, illustrating the various ways people can survive against the odds. The podcast provides a unique blend of dark humor, real-life challenges, and the unpredictability of survival.
