In this special “get to know us” episode, Dan and Leah pull back the curtain on the Zombie Book Club. From meeting on ICQ in the internet’s dark ages to building a zombie-obsessed home in Vermont, they share their origin story, their love for all things undead, and why they use the apocalypse as a lens to talk about capitalism, climate collapse, and representation. You’ll hear about Dan’s zombie novel-in-progress, Leah’s creepy-cool zombie crowns, and the barking dogs that would absolutely blow their cover in a real outbreak.

They answer listener-submitted questions both thoughtful and ridiculous — from “Who’s the better cook?” to “Do zombies pick their noses?” — and feature an indie horror gem, Dead Awake: Collapse by Rob Ulitski. Whether you’re here for thoughtful apocalypse analysis or absurd competitions like the Evil Magic Chicken Zombie Cluck Challenge, you’re invited to join the found-family energy of the ZomBestie community. Grab a snack, your favorite blunt object, and hit play.
