Hello my name is Danny. I have been a fan of the podcast for acouple of months now. I Started out here when www.nerdist.com linked here and have been a fane ever since. about myself I am an OIF01 Veteran (like Micheal and Saul from the Tower) I was in the Army as well. got out and did some college and currently working in security. I'm a huge geek and enjoy everything geeky in some regard.
Okay after being a board lurker and having issue with user name/facebook I am giving in and posting. so Hi ^.^
I am Raven a geeky nerdy horror movie aficionado in Albany NY where I am in my last semester of my bachelors and 2 weeks later starting my masters so WA is currently my refuge(irony much?) from the mounds of school work and requirements I set myself up for.
Hello all,
There is nothing special here. I started listening to "Were Alive" last summer in the beginning of my deployment, and was instantly addicted. Quickly I caught up at the season 2 finally, and have been re-listening to the seasons until the beginning of season 3. During the break I started listening to “Were not Dead” and just as much of a fan of the show as I am the story. I can’t wait till this season get into full swing.

Hello everyone,
My name is Angelo, I'm 24 years old and I reign from Stratford, Connecticut. As a life long fan of horror, We're Alive was an excellent fit! I have a BA in Communications, I went through a Film Industry Training Program at Quinnipiac Universtity in Hamden, CT where I was certified as an Assistant Director on *Non-union* films in the state of CT (if you live in CT, I would highly recommend the program and its cause), I've worked as a PA on two television shows for TLC called Chainsaw Ice Sculptors that aired a couple years back and now I work at a research company in Stamford.
Film and radio are very much an important part of my life. Not everyone has an ear/patience for radio/podcasts, but they're most definitely missing out. You guys have done an excellent job thus far. I love the story, the audio quality and the approach to sound effects is superb, and your suspense strategy is awesome. We're Alive deserves a dedicated audience. If there is anything I can do besides spreading the word by mouth/social networking, I'd be more than happy to assist.
Hello my name is Shane I'm from New Orleans La but live in Omaha Nebraska. I found We're Alive from another forum(Saint Report) discussion about zombies and someone posted a link. I've lurked around long enough that I decided to participate.
The pod cast is top notch and I'm totally addicted. I was able to cruise through from chapter one all the way to chapter 24 and thats when I hit hurry up and wait mode.
Honestly I don't know how many of you can wait week to week but I guess i'm going to find out now.
See ya around.
Hello - my name is Paul and I am in Vancouver Canada. I have been listening to this radio cast for over a year now and look forward to every Monday it is on. We need more of this organic and well done social commentary :)
Sup? I'm Jordan 25 years old from Tampa, FL. Been listening to We're Alive ever since Season 1. Was referred to this by none other than Mr. Greg Miller (heard about it on his other podcasts). I am into sci-fi, fantasy, and history. Lover of most types of music and video games. Since it seems to be the norm to just list off random/weird facts.
- I bear a very strong resemblance to WWE Superstar Mark Henry.
- I was born a legit giant, was diagnosed with giantism when I was a teenager. I have been 6 foot 8 since I was in the 8th grade. I am currently 6 foot 8 and 336 lbs. Sounds like a lot but 4 months ago I was 357lbs. Progress!
- I currently work as a bouncer and am in training to become a professional wrestler.
- I had an accident about six years ago where I suffered severe burns to my left hand which has left it completely numb. Outside from a extreme cold I don't feel a thing on the surface of the palm of my hand.
- I have a terrible case of thantophobia (fear of dying/death) and this podcast actually is sort of therapy for me.
- I am named after the Star Trek: TNG character Giordi LaForge. My mother is a huge Trekkor (she gets offended if you call her a Trekkie) and thought Giordi was spelled as "Jordy" and was short of "Jordan". She also speaks Klingon and refers to me and my two other siblings by Borg Designations. I am 3 of 4 (and I even got it tattoo'd on my arm as tribute to her).
- She also used Final Fantasy 4 was a learning aid to teach me how to read when I was 4 years old.
- While unrelated to We're Alive, I have written into Greg Miller's Knockin' Boots podcast and his response was one of the few that prompted me to begin my wrestling training.
- I collect Luchadore masks and am known to wear one in public. Why? Why the hell not.
Hi, my name is Lindsay. I've listened to all of the podcasts. I got into We're Alive last year. I drive a big rig and the podcast helped me pass time going down the road. It's very distracting listening to a podcast about zombies while driving, makes you want floor it to safety everywhere you are.
Hey Jordan! Welcome aboard.
Loved the story about your mother! You're on my team man. We're the "Tanks". You're officially my Mini Gun cat (when we find one that is).
Shhh, be vewy vewy quite. We're behemoth hunting...
Enjoy the show!
Welcome aboard Trucker Lindsay!
Since you've been listening, I know it's hard to drive around the States and suddenly not look for safe places to hold up..just in case.
Hey, what's that in your passenger mirror?
Hi there! Privateer is my handle, and I'm a twenty-something from SoCal who works with the government doing boring, boring things. I /used/ to be a mall cop, though, so I had a vested interest in zombie survival! I learned about this podcast after I saw their booth at the San Diego Comic-Con, and, well, I'm just sorry I wasn't listening to it when it began! But, now I'm hooked! Its hard to find modern audio dramas with such superb acting, editing, and special effects!
Hi everyone!!! ill be honest i havnt sifted through this thread yet coz well there are a ton of posts lol. I just thought i should chronicle myself!
my name is the_real_gandy or just Andy i dont realy mind. and well as im sure many of you may have guessed i freakin love We're Alive!
I first discovered the podcast through Gamescoop and Podcast Beyond, in both of which Greg Miller raved about how good We're Alive is.
I eventualy tracked down this very site and downloaded myself the entire first season and half of the second.....i then preceded to smash through all of them in a weekend in time for the new episode on the monday! lol
Who needs sleep right?!?
Anyway enough about me! time to go post on some threads!
Hi there...
My name is Jorge, I'm from Mexico City. 39, married, with a 10 year old girl that also loves horror films and scaring the crap out of her older cousins.
I'm a computer programmer, C#,java,VB (Geeks know what that is).
I heard of "We're Alive" in the Talking Dead (can't remember what episode) and had to check it out. I love it!
I always remember loving zombie films, the first one I remember going to the movies to see was Return of the Living dead, from that point on I fell in love with the genre.
About 10 years ago a friend of mine showed me that I could collect zombie movies, when he lent me Dawn of the dead and then Day of the dead on DVD, from that point on, I started collecting as many zombies as I could, first on DVD and now digital (I can fit more movies in a 3 TB HD, than have dvds laying around). Then on my search for movies I found a free zombie novel "Autumn", when I read it, I got addicted to zombies fiction, so I went on another collecting spree and gathered as much zombie fiction as I could. I recomend the homepageofthedead.com, they have about 900 horror stories, most of them about zombies!
So now I collect anything digital having to do with zombies (games, rpgs, podcasts, movies, series, novels, fictions, images, etc..)
PS: I'm also a big fan of porn.
Hey Privateer, welcome! Government, eh? You know all the secrets, right? Are you really the president? Because that would be just peachy.
You too, Andy! Damn that Greg Miller, and his famous podcast that I've yet to listen to, making this awesome podcast more famous and whatnot, bringing in more listeners. Pfft.
Jorge, you're speaking my code. (Eh? Punny, right?)
It's great to see new text from new sources everyday!
It's spreading...

Hi all! My name's Hope and yes, I had a bit of a girly moment to find out that I shared a name with a character. I don't often run across people who share my name in life so this was a treat. The zombie genre has always been my favorite out of all things horror. I just happened to be searching in iTunes this past October for something new to listen to while I worked and came across the "We're Alive" podcast. Totally freaking rocked of course! Waaay better than a silly old audiobook. I managed to absorb both seasons in two weeks and then went back for seconds. :) It was torture, I tell you, to have to wait over a month for the third season to begin and now the wait between the new epi's is even worse. I'm listening to the "We're Not Dead" podcasts now to help soothe the "itch". lol I'm hoping that by joining the forum it will help the wait seem a little less long and look forward to discussing the podcasts with everyone.
No need to ask... That's what the internet is for, free exchange of information. <rant>I hate SOPA, RIP Megaupload</rant>Quote:

I'd say that 99.9% is hidden cameras and free amateur uploads taken from cel phones or hand cameras.
I've only found/have 2 "profesional" mexican porn movies, and the rest is just the amateur stuff off the web.
The profesional stuff is a lot like the mainstream american/european porn, but with uglier/fatter women and with a lot less budget.
Bye
Hey I was just listening to that episode of Knocking Boots the other day that's like such a huge coincedence lol... Welcome to the forumQuote:

I found We're Alive last fall just after the second season wrapped up. I listened to season 1 and season 2 straight through.... It's the best podcast I've ever come across !!!!
When I tell people about the podcast, they're skeptical... When they listen to it, they're blown away just like I was.
Hi, I found we're alive by accident, on the skeptoid list actually, and really love the show. I listened right through seasons 1 & 2 till about episode 18 or so and then had to wait for each new one. I sort of wish I only just found it again. I enjoy reading the forum too, especially the posts by KC himself.

I live in a rual community in Iowa so my chances of survival are good. I really want to own a tank for some type of APC. I keep saving my pennines and my wonderful wife keeps saying no.
LOL! Wives.. First ones to get bitten= Freedom! Ok, I'm wrong for that one (kinda). Welcome aboard Joe!Quote:

Personally, I'm a homebrewer so, in the event of an actual zombie emergency, whoever comes along to help will have nice beers to drink. Professionally, I'm a technician for the Texas Lottery, and before anyone asks: No, if I knew I would be fabulously wealthy right now.
Have a nice day.
Hey guys my name is Reece, I'm from Gosport- England (South next to Portsmouth).
I'm a CNC operator, which sounds alot better then what it is. I just cut wood up into smaller rectangles and get covered in dust all day.
But with the machines on it given me alot of time to listen to 'We're Alive' :) Which i discovered after a long search for a decent podcast to keep me going.
Anyway if anyone wants to know anything you know where i am.
My name's Amanda. I'm from Madison, Virginia and have now migrated to Schuyler, Virginia (a meager two hours away), so I've lived in and around Central Virginia pretty much my entire life. I'm a stay at home mom and wife, though my house is probably never going to be spotless. I'm a writer, and will write just about everything, and I'm a pretty hard-core geek about anything that takes my interest.
I found this podcast on Facebook, and now I'm in the process of forcing my husband to listen to it with me.
I guess I'll do some interesting facts about me:
*I participated in a local zombie 5k. My daughter was 2 at the time and the youngest registered runner and zombie. I was also a zombie. My husband was a human, because in my daughter's words we had to "chase Daddy, catch Daddy and eat Daddy." She's still obsessed with zombies - right now she's upstairs screaming 'I am a zombie!' to scare away spiders.
*I convinced my local Starbucks to create a Zombie Evacuation Plan.
*I've just realized that the interesting facts about me aren't really about me.
Name is..um..Neil. I'm from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta up here in the Great White North (a.k.a. America's uglier but more sensible sister). I'm the owner/manager of a small movie theatre in my home town. I didn't start out wanting to run my own business, but when I realized I wanted to get married, I also realized that my Film Studies degree was completely and utterly useless at providing employment.
Fun Fact. If your degree ends in the word 'Studies', you were just punk'd!
Anyhoo, since I let my employees handle most of the customer relations stuff, I get to hang out in my office and listen to 'We're Alive' and playing zombie related video games. I'm also a radio drama buff myself, having learned of 'We're Alive' through the Audio Talk website, and have written a few radio scripts myself. One, entitled 'Omega Man' was an alt-history story about the lone soldier who survived the D-day landings only to find Europe covered in the undead. Good times.
Fun Fact #2: I've developed a good repertoire of responses to the question of why a grown man still loves zombies so much, all with the intent of making me seem much smarter then I actually am.
Thanks for the great show, guys!
HI my name is Toni and I live in the south, I found your podcast when someone posted it on a TWD Facebook page. I have been a horror fan for all my life. When I first starting listening, I have to admit, I didn't think I would like it. But the more I listened the more I liked it. I love to read so I know how to use my imagination but this takes it to a new level. My husband who remembers when he got his first TV as a child. didn't understand what I was listening to, finally had to explain to him that it is like listening to a radio broadcast and I said yea but more technical. Anyway I enjoy it can't wait for 26 to come out.
You can call me Tasm.
I reside in Miami, FL.
Thanks to HaveCrowbarWillTravel I've become hooked on WA.
I caught up with the entire series in the span of a week.
I'm a graphic designer, so I listen while I work.
Love the survival aspects of the zombie genre (Dawn of the Dead was always a favorite because the survivor's experience in the Mall).
Resident Evil is a great series, though the movies have slaughtered it in my opinion.
Anywho... I'm thrilled by WA and am glad to start communicating in the forums.
Lets stay alive my friends.

My name is Rob Anderson, and I'm a comic book writer based in Virginia. I'm a HUGE fan of We're Alive...so much so that I sponsored some upcoming episodes. I discovered the show via one of the comic book colorists I work with.
I haven't been listening from the start like many of you, but I've been around for quite a while and felt the pain of the pause before the latest season started up! (You get so spoiled when you first discover We're Alive, listening to them all together...and then you have to wait like everyone else -- ha)
As you may have guessed, some of my comics are zombie-related and my new book is an "animals versus zombies" story called "Rex, Zombie Killer." In a nutshell, it's about a small pack of animals trying to cross the country after a zombie apocalypse. Oh, and there's a gorilla with a baseball bat. (It was actually the colorist on this particular book that introduced me to We're Alive, back when he and I first met.)
Anyway, just like you, I'm waiting for the next episode of We're Alive! And hoping that Lady the dog stays safe! :)
