In this episode we sit down with Sarah Lyons Fleming, the brilliant mind behind the Until the End of the World series (as well as her other series; City and Cascadia), which feels more like a well‑stocked pantry than a barren wasteland. She enthralls us with the gritty logistics of life after the collapse, cozy survival, acorn flour, and how community‑first storytelling can outshine lone‑wolf power fantasies.

Beyond the gore, Sarah shares how she weaves LGBTQIA+, women‑centered, and neurodivergent characters into the fabric of a post‑apocalypse, and reveals just how many cans of beans are hidden under her bed.
