You know, on Spawned with Kristen and Liz, we’ve covered a lot of important info to help our listeners navigate this crazy parenting thing: Bullying, picky eaters, playdate hell, political unrest, mental health, the eye-rolling tween phase…you name it.

But one really important challenge we haven’t yet covered: How to survive the impending zombie apocalypse as a family.

We have so many questions!

Like: How do you inform your children in an age appropriate way? What supplies should we be looting first? How can you turn the toys and baby gear you already own into weapons? Are there any positive ways to spin “it’s the end of the world” as a parent?

That’s why we are so delighted to talk to comedy writer and dad of four, James Breakwell, better known on social media as viral sensation @XPloding Unicorn. He’s also the author of the brand new Only Dead on the Inside: A Parent’s Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse and he’s got answers that can save your family’s lives one day!

(Plus, James said this was one of his favorite interviews ever. So what are you waiting for?)

This Week’s Sponsor: Learn with Homer

Homer learn-to-read app for kids

Homer is the awesome learn to read app for kids that we have recommended for years on Cool Mom Tech, because it’s such an effective way to help kids 2 to 8 learn to read by tapping into their own interests to motivate them.

They’ve built custom reading pathways around your own child’s interests, with personalized lessons and activities to get them even more excited to read every day. A recent study conducted by the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education concluded that just 15 minutes a day with Homer can increase early reading scores by 74%. So it’s not only fun, it’s incredibly effective.
