I found We're Alive through a post in a forum, and I was hooked.

But, my story's boring, why don't you tell us yours?

Since the forums have moved I shall redo my how I found this amazing podcast.

I am a huge zombie fan and I loved the Walking Dead and I happen to stumble upon a podcast by the name of Walking Dead TV Podcast. It basically discusses the ins and outs of the show and the comic and one day one of the hosts mentioned that we should be listening to We're Alive. I was at work at the time listening to do it, so I just went to iTunes on my iPhone and looked it up and downloaded it immediately. I was hooked within minutes and probably made it through 4 chapters that day alone. I have sense caught up entirely and am eagerly awaiting to see what happens in Chapter 18 Part 1.

I'll put in mine as well.

I went over to my girlfriends house one day and she and her brother where in the living room listening to the podcast and at first i was just sitting around thinking what in gods name is this? and as i listened it got pretty interesting to listen to. i didn't get to finish the episode they had on so when i got home that night i looked it up and started listening from the beginning and i was hooked. luckily i found the old forums as they started out and got to watch the podcast grow and the characters evolve week by week and it has been quit an interesting time listening to each episode.

Hello.

Honestly I found the podcast completely at random. I started listening when the series was in the middle of season 1. During that time (around summer of 2010) I just started listening to a bunch of Old Time Radio podcasts; mostly of the old Superman radio soaps. Then I eventually started to broaden my horizons to the mystery genre. Soon I started downloading thriller podcasts and got an automated suggestion from my ZUNE software for a podcast called "We're Alive". I saw that the series was just starting out and decided to check out the first 3 episodes. I was immediately hooked and stayed up the entire night listening. When I completely caught up I decided to send an email to KC Wayland about how thrilled I was about the series. Surprisingly he emailed me back right away the next day! Still a huge fan and ended up referring 5 of my friends to the series. And of course, they all love it.

I heard a promo for the podcast but I can't remember where... I then went and listened to the first episode. I subsequently listened to maybe the majority of season 1 and spammed all of my facebook friends with it! Now I hate having to wait each week for juicy new zombie bits.

a friend of mine hit "like" on the facebook profile.

the interesting part is, i hadn't read my facebook feed for a while. and i only read about 5 posts that day before i got bored. but one of those 5 posts happened to be the "like" of We're Alive. it's like it was an involuntary act. but the end result, is brilliant.

and now, i've listened to it in its entirety 5 times. and i'm sure, 6 is not that far off. (driving being 50% of your job has some advantages).

I saw this on the Zune Marketplace for the last few months. I kept saying, "there is no way this will be worth a damn." Now that football season is over, I am desperate for some good podcasts. I gave Alive a shot and haven't looked back. Also been telling ALL my friends about it.

I actually was browsing around on iTunes for new podcasts, when I entered "Zombies" into the search. We're Alive happen to be one of the first podcasts that popped up, and I noticed it was free, so I downloaded it thinking it was a podcast about people talking about zombies stories, games, and so on. When I noticed it was a drama, I decided to upload a couple of episodes into my iPhone, and take a drive and listen to a couple of them. I WAS HOOKED by the time I got back home and automatically downloaded the rest. Still to this day, every single release from iTunes is on my iPhone, so I can listen to the complete story so far anytime I want.

I know what you mean. When I found the podcast, I had about a year and a half worth of audio to listen too. These last 2 releases were ones that I actually had to wait for, and it kills me waiting for the newest episode because I was so used to having the next episode ready and available.

I heard about it on either podcast beyond OR on gamescoop, i cant remember which one, but it was definitely greg miller who got me into this.

it makes me wonder, how many listeners did greg bring to we're alive? it must have been a good number if KC is letting him guest star on the podcast

I found We're Alive around Halloween time and it was a recommended podcast by iTunes. I'm a podcast whore, I also used to work in radio in college and was very intrigued by the idea of a radio drama about zombies. So hurray for iTunes never leading me astray with their podcast suggestions!

I heard it on the Radio Drama Revival (http://www.radiodramarevival.com/)podcast. If you like a variety of radio-drama style podcasts I can highly recommend them. They play sample podcasts from a number of different souces. It's the best resource I've come across for finding quality shows. One of their episodes featured "We're Alive" about halfway through season 1 and I was hooked.

Is this the best one? I have no doubt that it is, but since I need something to fill the other days of my commute between Mondays I'm going to try some of the others out. Maybe one of the others listed on that Radio Drama Revival site will be a worthy fill-in between WA episodes. If not I'll just have to find some new audiobooks. Have to get my daily word fix somewhere :)

But to answer the OP's question, I found this most excellent podcast via Google search for (believe it or not) "zombie podcast". I was in a scifi/horror/zombie mood and was hoping to find something new to listen to in the car, and here we are. It was amazing to go through the first (17?) chapters immediately, and now I wait eagerly for the new episodes every week :)

Glad you were all able to hear about the show either through friends, other podcasts, or just your own zombie interest. This community is awesome and look forward to seeing it grow more!

My "We're Alive" story begins much as my existence did, in a movie theater. I was attending a midnight showing of "Zombieland" and a handsome KC Wayland approached me. Between his sporadic bouts explaining, "The end of the world!" and "My favourite magic toenail.", I heard of a tale of zombie survival, purely audio driven. After he threw a demo CD squarely into my forehead, I was hooked.

Found it totally by accident, my brother downloaded the Zune software on his laptop and to see if he got a connection to the internet he downloaded a few random podcasts. And guess what? Oh you already know don't you? I guess I won't say it.

Ok I'll say it. Or will I? Ok I will. Yeah so you probably already guessed by now that it was recommended by a friend. Just kidding

It was one of the ones he downloaded and I saw the picture, thought it was cool so I started listening to it.

May I suggest The Mist? It is great I have it on CD its an audio drama like WA but it lasts for around an hour and a half. Its one of the reasons I started to like audio dramas.

Zune Forums.

No suggestions lead me here.
However last week, Joe Rogan's podcast was giving away a copy of Season 1 for a prize.
So obviously I was quite surprised to hear them speak so highly of the show!

I've been big into Audio drama for several years now..so I found them early on before they were all the rage..
I'd join forums just to plug the show and I'd run into Shane or KC going literally everywhere promoting it.
They've done a great job of marketing...but, of course, they had a great product to promote.
The attention is well deserved.

I found the podcast from the Zune's "The Weekly Download" Podcast. I thought that it would be fun to play them on Halloween for all the kids going door to door. Glad I listened to a few before going through with that idea! But that was enough to get me hooked and to Subscribe for all the shows. I've enjoyed old time radio serial shows like "The Shadow", "Buck Rogers" and others, but it is a real treat to find a modern and original version in that vien. Keep up the good work and Thank You for doing it and sharing it with us.

I am a forest ranger in North Vancouver, British Columbia and my job has me spending quite a bit of time in my truck as the area I work in is quite large. Due to the many hours I spend driving alone on gravel roads in the middle of nowhere I get to listen to my ipod about 3-4hrs a day. I mainly listen to science and history podcasts but I recently wanted to try out some fiction to change it up a little.

I am a fan of all things zombie so I typed "zombie" into itunes, and I found this radio show.

I must say that without a doubt this is the single most awsome thing I have ever listened to. The writing, acting, score, sound engineering, and creativity has blown my mind. I didn't even know that modern radio shows existed and now I'm afraid that this one has set the bar too high. I found this two days ago and am completely caught up. I'm not kidding, that's all I've done. There is a movie being being filmed where I work (The Grey w/Liam Neeson) and my job is to sit in my truck and babysit them. I was so absorbed by this show that when one of the movie people knocked on my window to ask a question I damn near screamed.

It makes me so happy to know that there are people out there who take the time and massive effort to create such things as We're Alive. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Not sure if this is good or bad, they might want more Pete, and if there is too much Pete he could become too powerful, and if hes powerful he'll overthrow KC. Then he'll take over We're Alive. Then the U.S. Then the world.

Hah! I figured out your plan Greg Miller.

Hi Everyone,
I was told about We're Alive from some people at a party. We were talking about the haunted house I used to make and the conversation turned to zombies and the mentioned the podcast.
I used to have an XM and one of my favorite stations were the audio drama channels and I knew this one was right up my alley.
Took a little digging because the name they gave me was a little off, but as soon as I found it, I downloaded the entire series.
Now I'm pimping it out to my friends.

I was purchasing episodes of the AMC'S "Walking Dead" from iTunes. Typed in Zombies, listen to a few other podcasts, but, by far, We're Alive has more story development and production time put in. The YouTube videos of the staff adds a personal touch. I listen to the podcast at work and find the cliff hangers almost unbearable. If I had a million dollars, I'd make a big donation to speed up the story and product. Maybe for now I'll pick up a T-shirt.

I was browsing random podcasts on my phone and happened to hit upon this one. I expected a fun, cheesy little basement production, but I was completely blown away by the first episode and couldn't stop listening until I reached the end of the list. (That was a long night/morning...) What an amazing production! I have listened to quite a few audio dramas over the years, with my favorite until now being Asimov's "The Foundation" trilogy done by the BBC. We're Alive beats it hands down.

To be honest now that I look back I am not sure how I came across We're Alive. I can say I have been listening a number of various of audio-dramas. As I look through my saved sites, I think I found this drama through www.audiodramadirectory.com/sciencefiction/

They have a great list of shows, most no longer creating... I think that was the site where I got myself hooked here.

So I'm embarassed to say this but I've checked out other audio dramas. The kind that really is a guilty pleasure, nothing as high a quality as we're alive. But I love zombies so I curiously browsed zombie audio drama on zune and there it popped up. I remember not listening to it for several days. Then I popped it on during my long shifts at work and became addicted. I love the zombie calling sound. Anytime I heard it I would freeze at work.

Recently discovered podcasts (yeh, just a few years behind) as an idea to make drivetime more enjoyable than the garbage on the radio. When zombie and podcast came up in the URL I knew I had a keeper. Found this about 2 weeks ago and have listened up to chap 16 so far. Thing I hate is when I get on the road and discover the file downloaded incorrectly.

I had finished a book. The gunslinger series... I think. Yes, that was it. I was feeling down, not having a good story to fill the free time on my night shifts. I found We're Alive on itunes completely by accident. I have always been a big fan of the genre. Huge fan really. I was hooked! I had heard of the radio dramas of yesteryear just like everyone else has. Somehow I don't think they were ever like this. The story. The acting. The production value. This is truly one of the greatest stories of this generation. Not only is it written and performed and produced so well but it has so much potential. In an world of unoriginal ideas and carbon copy movies and television shows We're Alive stands out.

I found We're Alive from a twitter update by J.L. Bourne the author of the Day by Day Armageddon books (which I also love). I grabbed the first episode, then ALL of the rest and listened to them all over the period of about week during my commute. I also just grabbed the Season 1 box set so will be listening to them all again soon. I have only recently discovered the We're Not Dead podcast which is also great.

I found out about We're Alive through one of the podcasts from the website Spill.com a few months ago. Not being all that much into zombies I thought I would check it out anyway. I ended up listening to the first episode and was hooked I downloaded rest and listened to all the episodes in over 4 days.

Being the video game nerd I am, I was checking out the European gaming site "The Sixth Axis" whenever I stumbled upon a feature about the over using of zombies in games. The writer referred to other mediums zombies are being used in, citing The Walking Dead and We're Alive as two fantastic examples. I love TWD, but at that point I had no idea what WA was. So I looked it up. Boom.

My husband, like a kid who'd just got the most amazing Christmas gift ever, told me I had to listen to this podcast he had stumbled upon. When John told me it was about a zombie attack I rolled my eyes..... We were on the phone, so he didn't see my reaction. John insisted I get caught up to where he was so we could talk about it. It was "so amazing," he said that he refused to go into detail about the story line lest it should ruin it for me. So after a few days of dragging my feet I gave the podcast a listen and a few days later, although it was rather difficult, I was able to pry the earbuds outta my ears.
This is the most amazing experience!!!
Now that the both of us are up to date with the podcast, we now are going back to the beginning, listening to each chapter over again, in bed. Falling asleep, cuddling, listening to the distant roar of zombies.

I found out about We're Alive by randomly stumbling upon it one day.

First of all, My work is a real drag but fortunately we get to listen to our ipods all day so its a bit fun. So at first I would listen to music then that eventually got boring, then I moved onto listening to episodes of Family Guy but that got distracting because I would want to see what was going on. Then I decided that maybe a audio book would work. So I downloaded The Mist by Steven King and listened to that and it was really entertaining, but it only lasted one work day. So I finally decided that I needed a horror / non-fiction thing to listen to that was preferably lengthy. So I searched and searched Itunes and the Internet looking all over. Till I stumbled upon great reviews of We're Alive. I put the first 3 chapters on my ipod and got through them in about half a work day and was sooo upset that I didn't put more on my ipod. So then the next day I put all 22 chapters on my ipod and within a week at work I got all caught up. And of-course I was upset that now I would have to wait for the next episode.....

And that is how I found out about We're Alive

Well, the last day of my senior year of high school, one of my friends and another kid in my class were arguing about it - my friend loved We're Alive, and the other kid didn't like it (for shame!)

My friend (Sarah) turned to me and said "I know you'll appreciate this." She gave me her iPod and had me listen to Chapter 1, Part 1. I was instantly hooked. the instant I got home, I downloaded the entire first season and as much of the second season as was on iTunes and had a listening marathon. I love this show!! And I love We're Not Dead, which I started listening to around the time Chapter 23 came out :)

I actually found this podcast through the Parsec Awards site. I went there to vote for another podcast I listen to, Decoder Ring Theater, in another category. I saw this one, and as a big fan of the zombie genre, I checked it out. Since then, I have listened to all the episodes and most of We're Not Dead (still working through it).

I've really enjoyed it, so I figured I would check the forums out, too.

Found this great podcast during the middle of the first season. Friends have a podcast where they give their impressions on tv, movies, comics, and music. One of them had a Zune and found this podcast through Zune's store. They were very impress with the quality and the content that all of us been hook since that episode.

If you're wondering, the Podcast is called "The Freakin' Awesome Podcast" you can find it here: http://www.artisticalliance.org

We're Alive is such a addicting podcast. Really surprise it's a free podcast. The Quality just blows a lot of other Radio style shows out of the water.:)

I discovered "We're Alive" after hearing about it on the "Walking Dead 'Cast" just last week on iTunes. Being old school (meaning almost old), I liked the idea of a zombie show done in the traditional radio style drama. I did not expect it to be this great! I like zombie movies alright, but am more intrigued to the post-apocalyptic plot lines, as long as they have a great dramatic story to tell. Since "28 Days Later" is my favorite of these movies, I was excited about watching the "Walking Dead." I was not disappointed. How greatly I was surprised by "We're Alive," which surprisingly, is just as good as its cinematic and television counterparts. I was hooked immediately and blistered through all of season 1 up to season 2 Chapter 23 today.

Hey all, been on the fourms for a while, but never got around to this, so figured now seemed like a good time. I actually was refered here from They Call Me Revolver after about a month or so of him going on and on and on about a zombie story done like the old school radio shows, which for some reason I imagined him sitting in front of the radio like the kid from "A Christmas Story". Anyhow, after about a month or so of this, I finally broke down and downloaded it on my iPad (about half way through season 2). A week later, got through all of them and was sad that I had to wait for a new one to air instead of being able to just goto the next one. And now I actually have the dates for when new episodes come out on my calander so I don't miss one!

I am surprised I hadn't found this sooner. I have been a zombie fan for about 5 years, having been an Urban Dead player from 2007, plus being in some forum RPG games we set up on our UD Forums.

I found this a week ago by browsing and finding a torrent of the show. A big Thank You to the show producers for keeping all of the episodes available in the podcast RSS feed.

Before I found WA, I listened to Max Brooks' audiobooks "Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z", plus the pretty funny "You've Got Dead On You" comedy podcast. I got through a few episodes of "How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse", another comedy podcast that is pretty good.

Taking a break from preparing for my summer vacation at the beach, I decided to check out iTunes for music and podcasts for the long drive. After downloading a ton of great music, on a whim I typed "zombie" in the Itunes Store search bar and immediately my eyes fixated on the "We're Alive" podcast... Then, in my car, I had one of the most memorable and enjoyable road trips to the beach ever listening to "We're Alive."

I am very much a fan of the zombie genre, and as such I visit a number of zombie related sites on the net. One of them (my favorite) is Homepage of the Dead. Someone posted a link to the podcasts and I gave the show a try and found while it is not my favorite flavor of zombie (slow moving Romero Zombies) I really enjoyed the characters and production value.

The stories were riveting i nan old fashioned soap opera radio sense and quite well done. I have been listening ever since.

Hmmm... I found the podcast whilst looking on iTunes for something to alleviate the boredom of work! Just a couple of episodes in and I was hooked. I found the zombiepodcast site and learned about Britt and Greg's accompanying discussions and downloaded those too. From having never heard of the podcasts it took me precisely 6 days to completely catch up with the whole story. And now I'm super-annoyed that after Saturday's epic I'm gonna be twiddling my thumbs for months waiting for the next episodes! Damn it! Anyway, it's nice to be part of the forum now.

About a year ago, I began looking for alternative entertainment to replace my music collection on my iPod Touch. It’s insane how the music you have loved to listen to for years quickly becomes tired and boring simply because you are carrying it around on your person, wherever you go.

At first, I joined Audible, thinking that maybe downloading a couple audio books would peak my interest during my drive from work. I quickly found that the monaural, first person narration of a person reading from the book I should have otherwise bought hardcover off the shelf, was nothing short of white noise using words.

Then I stumbled upon OTR (Old Time Radio) podcasts in iTunes and elsewhere. These of course were the radio dramas that entertained millions before the advent of TV in the ‘30’s, ‘40’s and ‘50’s that included Mystery Theatre, the Shadow, Sam Spade, etc. The material may have been dated, but still entertaining, well produced and usually narrated by the top celebrities of the day. More importantly, these podcasts offered features that the majority of audio books being sold today don’t, namely sound effects and musical scores to complement the story being told.

My favorite of them all was the infamous adaptation of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, told to the world in a live broadcast by Orson Wells back on Halloween night in 1938. I can only recommend those who believe in apocalyptic endings to our world listen to this broadcast. It scared the crap out of an entire nation that night. It still sent a chill down my spine as well listening to it, in its entirety, nearly 80 years later.

So it was obvious that when I fell upon We’re Alive six months ago while looking for new content in iTunes, I was instantly addicted. Contemporary, well written and acted, with all the bells and whistles of the old time audio dramas, it was a perfect and welcomed edition to my collection. I have already listened to all 34 chapters twice and will do it all over again before season 3 begins.

Thanks to everyone at We’re Alive for giving me this gift. Keep up the great work!

I found We're Alive because I am a fan of Rooster Teeth (the Red vs Blue guys), and they have a mini-meme called "Zombie Plan". Since I was on the subject of zombies I just googled "Zombie Plan" and got to some obscure forum that I don't remember. It was discussing what people would do and where they would go when "Zed attacks". At one point someone made the post (and I'm summarizing here), "I am surprised nobody has talked about We're Alive yet here. <link>". That's it. Hooked. Listened to every episode within the span of three days, then listened again. And again.

It's a cycle.

Greetings all. Aleks Here. I found "We're Alive" when I was searching for audiobooks. I downloaded the entire saga and listened to it all every day until I was done. Now I'm going through it again while I drive in to work. I find I'm picking up more interesting bits this time around.

Great story and great job to the writers and entire cast. I look forward to the next season. Personally I find this even more entertaining than the TV show "Walking Dead". I'm more invested in this story line.

I had never listened to a podcast before. The whole idea sounded boring to me. I finally decided to give one a shot and since I am a zombie fan did a Google search composed of the words zombie and podcast and this was at the top of the list. All I can say is man am I glad I did that. I liked it so much that I immediately upon finishing the very first episode suggested it to all the members of my zombie fan group. You guys just made another fan!! I can't wait for season three!! This stuff is awesome!!!!!!!!

I was in English class and we were outside warming up in the sun haha. And then my two friends started talking about this 'Zombie' thing. They told me it was called We're Alive and it's like a movie but without the picture and I'm like cool. They told me I had to listen to it in the dark because it was scary as hell. So she let me listen to the first Chapter and I was so amzed at all the sound effects! I went home and downloaded every single episode. :) Been hooked and somewhat "unhealthily" obsessed ever since.

I'm a moderate fan of Zombies. I like the Resident Evil Movies, Zombieland (lolz), Shawn of the Dead (lolz again) BUT I don't like playing zombie games! They scare the shit out of me sooo much even when I'm with a friend. :/

I have never been a fan of the gun-toting shoot-em-up zombie horror genera. However, We're Alive came up several times on Audio Drama sites and I thought I'd give it a try. I was so glad I did. The characters and story are so well developed. The soundscape is wonderful and really lets you get into the story. As sad as I am that it won't run forever, I am excited to know there will be some form of conclusion to wrap up all the unanswered questions.

My friend referred me here and told me to start listening to the podcast and so far I love what I am hearing.

I knew you would! All you guys laughing at me trying to get people to listen and doubting it would be good. Psh, I showed you :) lol

I was sent here by a lesbian, a drag queen, and a hair stylist at separate times. So I figured what the heck. Turns out the story is great.

Been a fan of the genera of zombies for a while. This story covers it well. Great work.

I found "We're Alive" while watching part 33-35ish (I was multi-tasking) of the video game walkthrough of Dead Island by The Media Cows (the walkthrough, the video game is by Techland and Deep Silver) on Youtube and Dewey (the commentator) said that his favorite type of media for zombies was a podcast called "We're Alive" I looked up right away and downloaded it and listened to it ASAP!

I was tuning around on the CW portion of the ham bands one evening and I heard what I thought was a beacon station sending "WE'RE ALIVE" over and over again. The signal was really faint and there was a lot of static crashes that evening due to an approaching storm.
I contacted some ham radio buddies of mine to try and triangulate where the signal might be coming from.
It wasn't coming from the States, it was in Canada.
So, I surfed around the internet for some details and to see if anyone else was hearing this beacon.
The first hit I got was for the podcast, and I have been distracted from trying to find out that beacon ever since.

Be safe,
Dave

My brother stumbled across the podcast and said I should check it out, but I never did. He bought the 1st season on CD and loaned it to me. I listened and was hooked. Just bought Season 2 on CD. Great stuff.

Just donated via Paypal (and will do so again) and encourage all you fan to throw some money in the kitty. I'm an indie filmmaker producing my own show on filmmaking in the Midwest and know how hard it to keep something like this rolling.

I thought I would throw a little promo out for a web series out of Ohio called Aiden 5. They just wrapped up a 16 part season. It's sci-fi/detective/sin city-esque.

I found we're alive when the people at spill.com mentioned the show in one of their podcasts and then when the guys here at we're alive did the foley for one of their episodes of The League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen and it was so fantastic I just had to check them out and over a month period (august 2011) I tore through both seasons and finished chapter 23 right as the final chapter was released and just died because I now had to wait 5 months or so for more.

I am obsessed with zombies. Always have been since I first saw Night of the Living Dead on late night tv when I was a kid. When I am stress, I always dream of the living dead. I was looking for zombie audio books to listen to because I am embracing my fear and thinking of writing one for myself and I wanted to do some research as to how most writers were portraying Zombies. I think you can thank J.L. Bourne (Day by Day Armagedon & Day by Day Armagedon: Exile) for pointing me in this direction. I found a copy of both season 1 and 2 and listen to it every day back and forth to work since my drive is 1 hour long, it gave me time to listen and get caught up quickly. Glad I found you all.

I actually litterally fell upon the show off of a bit torrent someone made. I have a boring night job that you can listen to music to keep your sanity and was prowling for something more and found THIS. I listened to seasons 1 and up to 23 in pretty much 3 days and have been replaying them to see what I missed until the new episodes started.

I've been a growing fan of audio drama for the past year and a half or so--started with old time radio shows, then more modern stuff. It started as research for a class I teach where I make audio plays with my students... that research invariably led me to "We're Alive," where I dropped in just after Season 2 ended. Glad to be here!

My girlfriend and I had both read World War Z. But on a road trip last year from VA to CT we were listening to the audiobook. I did a "zombie audiobook" search in Google and We're Alive/Zombie Podcast came up first. So one day on a train home from work, we split headphones between us and started listening and have been hooked ever since. We're all caught up and waiting for Chapter 26!

I found We're Alive by accident really. I was listening to an MMA podcast where the guys went on a tangent about The Walking Dead and that they wanted to make a separate podcast about it recapping the show. I figured I would look up if there was one already on itunes & We're Alive came up cause it had to do with zombies. I was confused because each of the episodes listed said "chapter" and each were divided into 3 parts. I started listening & was amazed. I had listened to audiobooks but nothing like this. Then I remembered that there were old readio-dramas back in the day when radio was the main source of entertainment. I was hooked listening to Chapter 1-Part 1. The sound, the voice acting, the realism. I am a big fan of the zombie survival genre and always wondered what it would be like in my home town of Los Angeles if this went down. This show seriously hits the mark in how real it would be.
US Army reacting, how fast the infection can spread, immediate thought of needing a safe place to hold out that can be secured and monitored with the possibility of conducting search and rescue operations. Then there is the fact that so much food and resources are perishable and the need to consider dealing with the situation with a garden & eventually figuring out that the National Guard outpost has a large supply of MREs. Freeways and streets would be packed with people trying to escape the city & getting stuck in traffic that they can't get through. I love how they really look at the fact that when trying to find a helicopter with enough space to fly everybody back at the tower out of LA they mention that not all air ports accommodate helicopters and not all of them are big enough to take everybody. The basic thought of going to a military base is classic but the facts on Ft. Irwin specifically being self sustainable is spot on for actually going into detail. One gripe I do not like is that they never thought of checking the prison and trying to hold up there. A prison is next to a military base on my list of places to think of. Thick walls, likely to have back up generators, maybe back up plumbing, doors galore either with bars or shatter proof glass that could hold off infected, guard towers already. This show is as real as it gets.
I can't wait for this to become a show somewhere down the line. It will need a big channel like HBO to show real detail & language. How each show would be formatted I have no clue with so much detail in the chapters & working well already with them being spread out.

Waaaaaay back in time when I was just a wee nipper and our TV was a B&W one which stood on spindly legs and had to be tuned in to get 1 of the 3 available channels, I used to sit a tape recorder on top of it and hang the microphone down the front, right by the speaker. I’d then record the audio of old horror films, Frankenstein, Dracula, that sort of thing. I had a selection of several tapes and would listen to them using the headphone (which was a bit like a hearing aid, but it worked, although it only went in one ear) to lull myself to sleep at night. The sound of footsteps and creaking doors is surprisingly relaxing it seems, screams not so much!

1845

I had been thinking about those old tapes and just jumped into ITunes to look for something to listen to. Two possibilities popped up, the other one was terrible and I almost didn’t listen to ‘We’re Alive’ at all because of it. Glad I did though.

Well I thought I had done this already but apparently I haven't. I came across we're alive when I got a new blackberry. The We're Alive podcast showed up in the podcast app. Somehow I thought it was a game so I loaded it on my phone and it downloaded the newest entry at that time which was chapter 5 episode 2. I was hooked because I needed to see how the apocalypse started. Unfortunately/fortunately I was able to get caught up in 1 night and started waiting for episodes early in the game. I wonder how fast the story must seem if a person got into it now and was able to listen to 60 odd episodes back to back.

Anyway, I can't quite remember but I think I was looking the results and found the 'We're alive' podcast. That's was around Christmas 2010. I've listened to all the episodes, they're great! It's amazing with 3D this and special visual effect that how good a podcast series can be.

Thanks for all the memories!

I'm behind all of my friends technology wise. My phone is 3 1/2 years old with no connection to the web on it, and my only form of connecting to WiFi that I carried on me was my first edition nook. So my friend transferred everything off of her iPod touch to cloud drive and is letting me use it until I get something like that of my own (she wasn't using it). So trying to take full advantage of it, I asked my friends for some podcast suggestions, and my friend buzzbros2002 suggested We're Alive, and I got hooked. When I got to around chapter 15 or 16, I texted him saying I blamed him for getting me addicted to it, and when he found out where I was, he said "oh, you're about ready to start listening to We're not dead". Hooked.

I just googled something along the lines of walking dead free audio and after reading through a ton of uselessness Ifound a forum post (don't remember which forum) mentioning We're Alive. Since then I've done nothing but work sleep and listen to We're Alive/We're Not Dead trying to catch up!

I listened to one chapter and I was hooked. I devoured the rest of the series up to the current part within two weeks. Now I'm devouring the We're Not Dead archive and I have hopped onto this forum.

Dawn of the Dead came on TV as I was getting ready for work one morning. It had been a few years since I last saw it. I didn't have time to finish it, but I didn't think to DVR it either since I didn't own the movie, so I left in the middle of the scene where they first arrived at the mall. After that, I had a mad craving for a good zombie story, so I googled, "zombie stories" and stumbled across the zombiepodcast.com website. The rest is history.

TheThingThatDarknessFears
Aug 12th, 2012, 08:56 AM
I listen to a podcast called "The Truth" which is a radio drama (each week it's a different story); how I found THAT one is a mystery...recommendation from some podcast I listen to, I guess. Anyway, I got to thinking about old-timey radio dramas and wondered if there were any radio dramas out there to listen to in addition to "The Truth".

A little Googling and voila! I was in bliss--the radio drama deal I was looking for AND zombies? There aren't enough words.

I am obsessed, hooked, addicted, in love. My biggest challenge is pacing myself. I'm in Chapter 17 which is a little over the midpoint. I cannot fathom waiting 2 weeks between segments, I am irritated to wait 2 minutes! I really need someone's encouragement not to blow through the rest of these chapters. Anyone?

LiamKerrington
Aug 12th, 2012, 12:26 PM
Hi There.

Why not just blowing through all chapters and then repeating it? This is, waht I do. And yeh, it is so different: At first you have hours of awesome entertainment, and then all of a sudden a piece of 15-20 minutes for at least a week ... Man, that is hard.

Another recommendation might be this: Got, grab the We're Not Dead Podcast as well. They are down to episode 42 right now; and Britt Brombacheracherachararachahcahca, Nikvoodoo and Grig 'uber-awesome' Miller do a hillarious job; there is a lot of laughter going on; nearly anytime they have a guest on the show (like for example KC Wayland or some of the actresses and actors, and then some fans from all over the world) ... And they do some really intersting but also crazy talks evolving all around "We're Alive" - really worth your while!

Enjoy!

I found we’re alive through net library. Net library on is a digital library where soldiers can download books and music. Net library provides its services to AKO. (Army knowledge online) something that Michael cross would have to use as a soldier. That’s where he would check his records and receive information from his unit. Anyway getting back on track I typed in zombie in a search and got a hit for season one of we’re alive so I downloaded it and liked it. I just want to say thanks for your support of the military.
