Mutant Hollow
🧠Mutant Hollow: A Microbiology Podcast for the Morbidly Curious Welcome to Mutant Hollow, where real science gets weird. Each season, we crack open the vaults of microbiology, parasitology, and speculative evolution to explore how terrifying creatures and viral nightmares from fiction might not be so fictional after all. Season One dives straight into the grave with “Will It Zombie?”, where we investigate real-life pathogens—like brain-eating amoebas, rabies, cordyceps fungus, and rogue prions—and ask the ultimate question: Could this actually cause a zombie outbreak? But we don’t stop at zombies. Future seasons will unearth the biology behind cryptids, the science hiding inside horror and sci-fi films, and the evolutionary plausibility of your favorite monsters. From vampire bat genetics to alien reproduction theory, nothing is too bizarre to break down with actual science (and a little gallows humor). Hosted by microbiologist Amber and her co-host Dr. Stacy—our resident “creature doctor”—Mutant Hollow blends research, storytelling, satire, and just enough panic to keep things interesting. Tune in, freak out, and don’t forget to vote… WILL. IT. ZOMBIE?
