Thanks so much to Ewan for stepping in to be the Emily of the episode. We trace the origins of zombies back to Haiti and Ewan runs us through zombies in pop culture, namedropping some best known media. Then Niamh brings us through to modern day substance-afflicted zombies recorded in medical journals. Lets not forget the relationship between zombies and revenants in mythology, how they have shown up in Game of Thrones, and how your ancestors buried their dead to ward against them coming back!
