Courtney Konstantin, author of the Sundown series and Babysitter of the Apocalypse, joins Dan and Leah to unpack the human drama behind her zombie narratives. From flawed heroes and makeshift families to cult leaders exploiting the end of the world, Courtney shares how she builds rich characters and real-world villains that outshine the undead.

Expect candid chatter about taking care of toddlers when the world’s ending, the unconventional charm of crowbars, and whether Vicky—an emotionally scarred alcoholic thrust into guardian duty—is someone you'd trust with your own kids. We’ll also explore faith, fear, and the surprising tenderness that emerges when civilization collapses.
