WOW - found this podcast on Friday and WOW - love it! I'm Kevin, callsign Saint (holdover from my Air Force days). I've been listening to The Survival Podcast by Jack Spirko for about 2 years - over there the "zombies" are all metaphorical (except for the real ones we're preparing for), but Jack's concepts of general preparedness, level-headedness and understanding your environment brought me into a "prepared" mindset and lead me to do an iTunes search for podcasts on survival. There it was: Alive! These guys are awesome - I loved 28 Days Later, not so much on Resident Evil, then loved The Walking Dead (oh yeah, Shawn of the Dead rocks too) - but this is just right on - all around very impressed with everything from story line to acting, sound effects and real-worl implications of existing in the face of scarcity. I'm up to
chapter 14 (listen on my drive to/from work and then while tinkering in the basement...until the wife yells at me). Not so much a gamer or blogger - just a new fan catching up on
episodes...and preparing!
