  • Grief of Loss and the Threadbare Promise of Hope (Leah Gets Really High) | Zombie Book Club Ep 70
    Nov 17 2024

    Send us a text

    Hope is both a lifeline and a burden in a world teetering on collapse. In this episode, we explore the harsh realities of grief and the fragile but powerful thread of hope that binds us to our humanity. From personal reflections on the 2024 Presidential election and the disillusionment of military service to the resilience found in nature and community, we delve into the emotional landscape of survival. Leah takes a hilariously unconventional approach to handling the weight of it all, promising to get progressively higher throughout the episode, adding levity to an otherwise heavy conversation.

    Join us as we tackle everything from sustainable living and mushroom farming to the chaos of political upheaval and absurdly bad movie nights. With humor, existential rants, and a dash of plant medicine, we balance the grim realities of the apocalypse with laughter and connection. Come for the hope, stay for the Ravens.
