The horde keeps growing, and so does the heart. We’re kicking off season four by turning our loose, joyful shenanighans into a real book club you can actually join; slow reads, inclusive picks, live conversation, and clear values that put people first. Think of it like building a survivor camp together: strong walls, warm fires, and a shared map for what we read and why it matters.

How The World Ends 101 with Special Guest Dr. David Perlmutter | Zombie Book Club Ep 129
Texas Solves the outbreak in 5 minutes, sorry New York. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. David Perlmutter, professor of Media & Communication at Texas Tech University, to dissect how societies record—and eventually lose—their histories when the grid goes dark. From ancient clay tablets to floppy disks, we explore why the very mediums we trust to preserve culture can become our Achilles’ heel. Dr. Perlmutter breaks down the role of teachers, archivists, and storytellers in a crisis, ...

Talking about Eugene (From TWD) with Jack Callaghan | Zombie Book Club Ep 128
We join special guest Jack Callaghan for a deep dive into the unlikely heroics of Eugene from The Walking Dead and the eerie rural mystery of his upcoming novel Wyrd Water. After a quick chat about Jack’s creative pivot from the stalled Zombie Nerd series to this 1979‑set folk‑horror tale, the conversation turns to Eugene’s evolution; from a self‑proclaimed “coward with a mullet” to the logistical mastermind who saves Alexandria with sabotaged ammunition. Together they explore why brains beat...

Kate L. Mary - Author of 30+ Zombie Books | Zombie Book Club Ep 127
Join us for an unforgettable conversation with award‑winning author Kate L. Mary, the mastermind behind the Broken World saga and many others. Kate walks us through the genesis of her slow‑burn apocalypse, explaining why she chose a stripper‑protagonist to humanize the chaos and how the fan‑favorite character Angus evolved from a wild catalyst into the emotional core of his own series. She also shares the hurdles she faced in traditional publishing—being told “no market for zombies”—and how s...

BONUS MINISODE - Human‑Creators‑First: Why We Are Choosing Real Artists & Authors  | Zombie Book Club Ep 126
We’re rolling out a “Human‑Creators‑First” policy and explaining why our podcast will now prioritize authors who write their own stories and use human‑made cover art. In this bonus episode we unpack the hidden costs of AI‑generated covers—from unpaid training data to the erosion of artists’ livelihoods—and share concrete alternatives: finding independent cover illustrators, responsibly using stock assets, and leveraging skill‑sharing networks. If you’re an indie author feeling pressured by AI...

Zombie Bite Sleeves - Dress Like Your Life Depends On It | Zombie Book Club Ep 125
In this episode we break down the anatomy of a zombie bite and translate forensic‑style bite‑risk data into a practical “survival wardrobe.” By mapping where bites most often land—forearms, hands and lower legs—we prioritize protecting the extremities first, then layer outward for weather and mobility. Plus, we discuss low‑tech hacks like duct‑taped DIY bracers. We also pull in real‑world analogues: forensic pathology shows defensive wounds concentrate on the forearms , police self‑defence ma...

10 Must Have Roles for Your Zombie Apocalypse Team | Zombie Book Club Ep 124
Using Deepa Iyer’s Social‑Change Ecosystem framework, we match each of its ten roles—Weaver, Experimenter, Frontline Responder, Visionary, Builder, Caregiver, Healer, Disruptor, Storyteller, and Guide—to iconic characters from The Walking Dead. From Glenn’s bridge‑building hustle to Michonne’s charter writing chronicles, we show how those archetypes keep hope, logistics, and morale alive when the dead rise. Check out Deepa Iyer's framework to name your own apocalypse strength, spot gaps in yo...

In The Flesh with special guest OllieEatsBrains | Zombie Book Club Ep 123
We dive into BBC’s In The Flesh, the gritty British drama that uses “Partially Deceased Syndrome” as a razor‑sharp metaphor for identity, conformity and the politics of “passing”. From Kieren Walker’s quiet grief to the radical undead sect that rejects the cure, we unpack how the series blends horror, queer allegory and social critique, weighing the strengths of season 1 against the uneven twists of season 2. Our longtime friend OllieEatsBrains joins the chair to share life updates—moving acr...

We Are DYING To Watch - Queens of the Dead | Zombie Book Club Ep 122
We’re buzzing with anticipation for Tina Romero’s upcoming queer‑zombie film Queens of the Dead! From the moment we caught the first trailer; a glitter‑soaked Neon lit warehouse rave gone horribly right, we’ve been dissecting the film’s bold premise, the promise of sequined power tools and six‑inch heeled zombies, and the way Tina Romero’s DJ‑nightlife roots could translate into kinetic, club‑ready choreography. We can’t wait to see how the all‑star drag lineup; Margaret Cho, Nina West, Domin...

Sarah Lyons Fleming - Until the End of the World | Zombie Book Club Ep 121
In this episode we sit down with Sarah Lyons Fleming, the brilliant mind behind the Until the End of the World series (as well as her other series; City and Cascadia), which feels more like a well‑stocked pantry than a barren wasteland. She enthralls us with the gritty logistics of life after the collapse, cozy survival, acorn flour, and how community‑first storytelling can outshine lone‑wolf power fantasies. Beyond the gore, Sarah shares how she weaves LGBTQIA+, women‑centered, and neurodive...

ZombieWeen Gameshow 2025 | Zombie Book Club Ep 120
The undead gather for the inaugural ZombieWeen 2025 showdown, where the court of the apocalypse crowns a new monarch of the undead. Leah and Dan usher listeners into a night of witty banter, improvised challenges, and razor‑sharp satire—all framed by a Jeopardy‑style board that pits “Zombie Survival 101,” “Horror Tropes,” “Apocalypse Etiquette,” “Zombie Blockbusters,” and “Dating While Undead” against one another. Contestants—including returning royalty Laurie, the reigning king Sylvester, an...

Resident Evil (2002) - Corporations are the real monsters | Zombie Book Club Ep 119
We crack open Resident Evil (2002) to expose Umbrella Corp’s playbook: a secret underground lab, an AI “Red Queen” that chooses lethal containment over humanity, and a virus that turns a research facility into an underground tomb. By mapping the film’s thrills onto today’s corporate landscape, we explore how shareholder‑driven incentives, corporate personhood, and profit‑first logic can become a real‑world horror story—​a corporate psychopath that “kills” for efficiency. From the legal roots ...

See you on the other side, Nero (Minisode Update) | Zombie Book Club Ep 118
The plan for this episode was simple: fire zombies, protest frogs, and a life update. What we got was a quiet living room, two handheld mics, and the kind of day that makes everything else feel small. Our old boy Nero, a once-feral, endlessly loving dog who shaped our routines and taught us patience, took a sharp turn. We walked into the ER carrying an 80lb dog like a duffle bag and left with a simple truth: sometimes love is mercy, and mercy means letting go. If this resonates, tell us abou...

Warm Bodies (THE MOVIE) with special guest Wicked Words Book Club | Zombie Book Club Ep 117
Can a film adaptation ever capture the quiet ache of its source? In this crossover with Wicked Words Book Club, we dissect Isaac Marion’s Warm Bodies and its sleek, sanitized movie version, tracing the emotional, ideological, and tonal shifts that split page and screen. We celebrate the bits that land, like visual metaphors of zombified liminality and clever sight gags, and lament the simplifications that undercut weight: interchangeable bonies, narrative shortcuts, and a romance that skips i...

Aquarium of the Dead with Special Guest Jacob Quijas | Zombie Book Club Ep 116
Join us for a smart, irreverent dive into Aquarium of the Dead with marine biologist and festival fanatic Jacob Quijas. We map undead tropes onto real marine science—waves, buoyancy, detritivores, keystone species—and even speculate: can the ocean digest zombies faster than we expect and would their bones become coral? Then we dive in to the movie: shark mix-ups, roaring octopi, and what Aquarium of the Dead gets hilariously wrong about marine life and systems. Along the way, Jacob’s wisdom a...

Warm Bodies (The Book) with special guest Wicked Words Book Club Podcast | Zombie Book Club Ep 115
When a zombie named 'R' rescues a living girl instead of devouring her, everything shifts. Told through R’s reflective, darkly witty inner monologue, Warm Bodies challenges our assumptions of life, death, and what it means to feel. As R consumes Perry’s brain and begins to access memories, he forges a strange intimacy with Perry’s consciousness—raising the question: whose identity is really influencing R’s journey? In this crossover episode, we join Sara and Greg from Wicked Words Bookclub Po...

This Has Nothing To Do With Zombies (and we almost didn't upload it) | Zombie Book Club Ep 114
This episode digs into how the Trump Administration has rolled back decades of clean energy progress—through sweeping executive orders, budget cuts, and cancelled programs—and how those moves are hitting communities of color, the poor, and Indigenous Nations the hardest. Leah shares her own loss of work in environmental justice, and we break down what that means in real terms: higher energy bills, fewer clean-energy jobs, loss of protections, and more pollution in the places that already bear...

When warrior Vale dies and becomes one such undead, her partner Hal and their son Ragno must navigate the horror, the betrayal, and the slim chance of redemption.

We explore Quinn’s journey in post-apocalyptic St. Louis—her fight for healthcare, her emotional trauma, and the chance to redefine herself when no one knows her past. Jo shares how stepping away from social work into full-time writing has changed her life, and what drew her to themes of identity and moral complexity in the zombie genre. This episode is pac...
