In this episode of Zombie Book Club, we delve into the CDC's ingenious strategy for public health communication: a comic book about zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for real-world disasters. We discuss how this approach not only captivated global audiences but also effectively raised awareness about emergency preparedness. From examining the comic's narrative to critiquing its representation of women, LGBTQ+ communities, and racial diversity, we offer a comprehensive analysis. Co-hosts Dan and Leah share their perspectives, with Dan providing humorous anecdotes from his life and Leah discussing the 'stoned ape theory' and the interconnectedness of humans and mushrooms. We also evaluate how well we are prepared for a real-life disaster, based on the CDC's guidelines. Tune in for an insightful and entertaining discussion on how a fictional zombie outbreak can teach us real-life survival skills!
