iTunes...searching for podcasts to do with zombies/fiction and this one looked appealing. Man am I glad that I took a chance on it!!!!
I found we're alive through the LEOG on spill.com.
I have found you from google, and I am glad to be here. :)
was bored, decided to check out (this is after 5 years using itunes) what hell is podcast.
Started to browse for comedy, I know it's far off. But than switched to arts. And it lead me to performed arts. I didn't looked into description and decided to download lots, and on random selected this podcast.
So I suppose that was luck.
I was looking through the podcasts listed in my new blackberry. I was instantly hooked even though the first podcast I listened to was part 2 of chapter 14. That began a marathon of starting at the beginning and listening to the whole thing.
I heard about "We're Alive" when it was reviewed by the "Walking Dead Podcast" in May.
I can't remember, I'm wracking my brain trying to remember but I just can't. I think I got into it pretty early on. I can't remember if I heard it mentioned somewhere else or if someone submitted it to the directory (I run The Audio Drama Directory) or what. All I remember was I got hooked pretty much instantly!
I found out abotu WA form a different forum i'm a member of
Almost embarrassed to admit this! I found out about We're Alive in Soap Opera Digest! I believe it was in an article featuring Michael Swan. I'm hooked! Love it!!
No way??? SOD??? How funny!
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
I was looking for something to listen to during a bandtour so I was doing random searches on I tunes
my friend showed it to me
I was listening to the @Nerdist Podcast and they mentioned it. I wasn't even listening properly but We're Alive stuck in my head for some reason. I'm oh so very glad it did because it owned my life for the next few weeks as I caught up!
Saw the word "Zombie" on the Zune Marketplace and downloaded it. Which then rocketed me into a night of not sleeping while I listened to all of season 1.
Podcast Beyond! Greg Miller often plugs We're Alive, and one day I figured I should see what he kept talking about. And obviously I was hooked instantly.
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.:)
Randomly found it while searching zombie web sites...... now I'm hooked.
My sister told me about it. She was looking for the civil war book (our nephew is a reenactor) "A World On Fire" but the first google result, aworldonfire.com, is actually a zombie blog. One of it's top posts was celebrating We're Alive's one millionth download. :)
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.
I listen to spill.com, podcast LEOG and everyweek they will make a refference to how amazing this story is... After awhile I looked it up, and they were right! So good! The voice actor of bird even made a cameo on the end of the show!
The cameo at the end of the show, 157:02 Bird makes his cameo. It's awesome one too! Both cameo, and that podcast

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.
I didn't even know that I would love zombies so much! I stumbled across the podcast on my iphone when I was looking for something to keep me awake at work. I love it so much and now I am also a huge fan of The Walking Dead (not as big as We're Alive)!
i was never really a big zombie person... but when i got me iPhone i tried to put all my music from my iTunes onto it and all of my music had disappeared... so i ended up going through iTunes for something free to listen to and i ended up loving the pod-casts soooo much! i was pretty stoked when the chapter 23 part 3/3 came out on my birthday! i literally bawled when i finished that podcast too cuz its soooooo long until the 30th! and im not able to go see the live showing :'(
Through zombie killers group on SG .
Although I don't seem to see many people with the same introduction to We're alive. I found it through spill.com, a movie review site. I'm looking forward to start using this account after 3 months lol.
Hey all!
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. I'm looking forwards to getting to know you all.
I found it through Spill.com, specifically the League Of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen (LEOG), they keep talking about We're Alive so much, i just had to check it out.
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 was starting to get into zombies and then a friend told me about the podcast and as soon as I heard the first episode I was hooked for life. Long live We're Alive!!!
