Apocalypse is upon us, at least in movies, television shows, books, and even podcasts. Teen characters in youth literature are more likely to solve their differences by bow-hunting one another rather than hugging it out in the school hallways.

For listeners interested in culinary topics, this is your chance to explore cannibalism-lite cuisine.
