Midwest Road Trip Update | Zombie Book Club Ep 169

We’re recording from the least glamorous studio imaginable: a camper bed in Kansas, in full “dead bug pose,” while tornadoes, flooding, and rerouted travel plans turn the Midwest into a live weather report. Two weeks into our road trip, we’re tired enough to be incoherent and honest about it. We dig into what RV campground life is really like, from a party-heavy New York park with live music and string lights to a Kansas RV park full of oil field workers living there short-term because it’s the only affordable option. Then comes the best stop so far: friends in Missouri. We attended a pride event, Leah got a tarot reading that wasn't so great, “tactical furries” that braved the Missouri heat, and a movie night with the low-budget apocalypse comedy Bored Games. We also talk about travel tattoos, including a Kansas piece inspired by pioneering tattoo artist Maud Wagner, and finish with a practical writing corner on beta readers, readability, and the eternal struggle of commas in dialogue.  Links Maud Wagner, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maud_Wagner Bored Games, IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31851933/ Ozark PrideFest: https://ozarkspridefest.com/ Support the show Zombie Book Club Links Join us on on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ZombieBookClub ZBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zombiebookclubpodcast/ ZBC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/710957975263518/ Zombie Book Club Email: [email protected]
