USF Zombies

Just in time for Halloween, zombie-mania is hitting USF!
This week on University Beat on WUSF 89.7, we talk with a pair of USF students whose publishing company has released a new anthology of zombie stories set in the Bay area…we also look at a weeklong role-playing game that pits zombies versus humans almost anywhere on campus…and we take you to a class that shows the artistic side of the living dead!

(The clip below is the long-form "Director's Cut", which was never heard on the radio!)
