Nino discusses a 2006 postapocalyptic artifact from the US's "war on terror"--World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Wars, and talks with oral historian and librarian Kae Bara Kratcha about what it means to be a speculative oral historian, and why oral history is such a meaningful tool for recording-and imagining-queer history.
