About Life Narrated

A show about life and the stories we tell. How are pop-culture zombies like Haitian zombis? When did time-travel fiction start? Why are we so fascinated with ghost stories? Join Lauren, Emily, and Matt as they use anthropology, history, sibling rivalry, and pop culture to dig deep into the themes of narratives in film, literature, video games, and life.
