“Zombie Tidal Wave” (9 p.m., Syfy): The same team that brought us the “Sharknado” series of campy horror films is moving on – from shark-slinging tornados to zombie-slinging tsunamis offer a special brand of maritime mayhem, going from bad to worse when they make landfall. Ziering and Parker see this as the first of many installments where we follow lead Hunter Shaw (Ziering) as he contends with the ocean-borne outbreak that threatens his seaside island community, the rogue, veteran sailor leading a disparate group of locals to uncover the origins of the undead pandemic while battling the growing horde of infected before it can reach the mainland.

Public speaker coach to give presentation

YOUNGSTOWN

Speaking strategist Kymberlee Weil will give a lecture at 2 p.m. Sept. 4 in the auditorium of Williamson Hall, on the Youngstown State University campus. The program is free and open to the public.

Weil will be in town for TEDx Youngstown, which will take place Sept. 7, to coach the speakers in advance of their talks.

“The executives and communication experts who Kymberlee has coached over the years on public speaking reads like a who’s-who list of some of the most prominent, successful leaders in our fields, said Adam Earnheardt, chair of the communication department at YSU. “So, we’re very fortunate to have her visit. She knows how to get people to tell their stories in ways that linger with an audience long after the lights have gone down and the curtains have closed.”

Parking is available in the M30 Wick Avenue parking deck for a nominal fee. For information, call 330-941-2307.
