Morning Everyone,
So I found this Podcast after searching for something to fill my commuting time. I drive an hour back and forth to work (sometimes slightly longer depending now on the story if its a cliff hanger. lol). Really ejoying it. Up to Chapter 21 just now and really can't believe how deep the story is and the sub plots and backgrounds. Thank you to KC Wayland for an awesome production. And thank you to the Cast and Crew or there company on some very long drive homes.
Cheers
B

Hi, I'm not going to give my real name, but you can call me EO. I live near Kelley, Iowa, which is near Ames, Iowa. I found this site after trying to find some stuff on zombies.
My name is private, but you can call me Zoglo the Outlaw. I'm an aspiring author and my work involves zombies. What I do for a living involves zombies in it's own way too. My recent work is a monthly series and the first issue actually came out today. I am very excited to read more posts on this site and see what it's all about. And hey, if anyone is at all interested in Better Undead #1 you can find it on Amazon.com.
Welcome to the addiction, EO!Quote:

Hi!
My name is Bryan, although hardly anyone uses it, most prefer to call my by my DJ name “Ghost”. Im from a small pit village in the North East of England, not far from the city of Durham.
I am a self employed DJ and game designer. The games I design are the table top role playing kind, and I own the indi games company “Gethsemane Games”, writing fantasy and horror RPGs and wargame. By education I am a social scientific and criminologist, specialising in the application Of the scientific method to the social sciences, amongst other things. I also have qualifications in forensic art, of all things, having qualified just as manual Forensic art was largely supplanted by CAD programmes (typical eh?). I can honestly say I have never been gainfully employed in any of the fields related to my formal education.
I DJ and run, a Goth club night in the UK along with my wife and our business partner Kev as well as Djing various other Goth and steampunk events around the UK and Djing the Vampires Ball and the 1880s night at the Bram Stoker International Film Festival in Whitby, North Yorkshire on the east coast of England.
I host a weekly show on a not for profit internet radio station, the show airs sci-fi, fantasy and horror audio drama (both OTR and new, contemporary works form various groups). Audio drama has been a passion of mine since childhood. My love of audio drama was passed onto me by my Grandmother who used to listen to the old BBC radio anthology series “The Man In Black” almost religiously. This also helped nurture my interest in horror rand ghost stories as a whole.
I discovered “We are alive” recently, after listening to “1:18 migration” and being told by another fan that if I liked that, I should check WA as well, she was right, and I owe her a big thank you!
Other than that, I am overly verbose and have a worry addiction to Peanut M+Ms as well as to Port.
Ghost, welcome to the We're Alive addiction!
That's quite an interesting bio you got there. I'm curious to know how you go about getting into DJ'ing goth and steampunk clubs/events. I've never been to one and wonder how different it is from other types of nightclubs...
Anyway, good to see you here and hope to see you posting in the near future.
PS - once you've had a chance to get all the way through the 3 seasons (so far) at least once, make sure you jump into the REPtrivia game. There's a link up at the top of each page in the forum.
Thanks Scbubba, nice of you to say so.
As far as getting into Djing Goth and Steampunk, well, in my case, I've been a goth since the late 1st/early 2nd generation (in around 1986). About 15 years ago the local clubs just weren’t playing anything that appealed to myself and most the Goths I knew, so we just decided to set up our own club night. It went pretty well, and before we knew it we had built ourselves a national reputation. Bands and labels started sending us their new releases, often as much as 6 months before they were due to be released, and clubs all around the UK started asking us to come and guest DJ at their clubs. They tended to report increase numbers through the doors when we played (by we I mean my wife and I).
We were then approached to DJ the Whitby Dracula society weekends and various events that were part of the Whitby Goth weekend – including the Steampunk fringe at the Goth weekend.
We went down to the big UK Steampunk weekend, “Weekend at the Asylum” held annually in Lincoln the first year, just as paying customers, and, as is my way, got chatting to the organisers, who recognised me form Whitby. The following year they approached me and asked if I could do some Djing for Asylum and help put on the sound team, which I did, and really enjoyed, they just kept booking me, so I kept showing up :)
Couple of years back, The Bram Stoker International Film Festival was launched, and as fate would have it they hired the people that run Weekend at the Asylum to organise the non-film based entertainment such as the vampire ball and they immediately rang me about Djing it, which I did. I've been booked to DJ it every year since and occasionally help out here and there with suggestions for bands they may like to book.
That's sort of it really, it all just kind of grew out of us setting up our own club night “The Charnel House” which has been going strong for 15 years now and snowballed from that point.
As for how they differ from other clubs, not that much really, other than the music policy. On the whole Steampunks will listen to just about anything, including Steampunk bands like Abney Park or The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing as well as actual punk bands, classical music, music hall and so on.
Goth clubs can be a wee bit trickier since the genre has been around since 1979 and has gone through phases, from the post punk period with bands like Bauhause, The Sex Gang children and so on, to the Goth Rockers like the Sisters of Mercy, the March Violets et al, then the industrial Goth, EBM and Cyber Goth, Goth metal, Darkwave, Dark Indie and so on, so you need to be able to adapt to what the room wants and be ready to throw in a fairly eclectic mix.
hey, my name is Jesse. I live in Canada and work in a Coal Mine, I drive the largest trucks in the world. My shift is 12hr and this podcast is always part of my day. Cant wait til next season.....
Hell yes. Canada Crew is growing all the time! Welcome aboard.
Hello everyone!!! Names Matt I live in Fresno California and hate the weather. I found this after my brother told me about W-A and I fell in love with the series instantly.
I'm a really passionate gamer when it comes to a good story and good artwork on the characters and other things :cool:
I like having general fun and talking with like minded people and having great conversations. Comic books, Food, Video Games all are up for topic and all is fun till the zombies show up then I would have to start giving out some lead aspirin LOLZ
Hey Jesse and Matt. Welcome to the fun zone! Good to see you in here and I look forward to seeing you around in the other threads.
Think you know the We're Alive world? Go over to the REPTRIVIA section and take the quizzes. Good times...
Later,
Bubba
Hey everyone. My name's Jim. I only recently got started on We're Alive, and blazed through the first season in a few days. I'm amazed with the quality and hard work that went into the creation of this place and look forward to sticking around to hear more of the story unfold. I'm a big zombie apocalypse fan, and have actually written some of my own stories concerning it. Stories that focus on characters first and action second are always much better in my opinion, and that's probably why I've been digging W.A so much.
Always room for another Monkey!Quote:

The name is Andrew, 30 years old from Southern California or more specifically Fontana (Inland Empire). I've been an avid lover of everything Zombies since I can remember. My buddy had been hounding me to check out We're Alive for like 2 years and I just never got around to it, however when I did I quickly finished the entire 3 seasons in a matter of 4 weeks or so.
Im a Graphic/Web Designer, I've worked in commercial printing for 10 years, but also run my own design & printing company. Im usually working 24/7 whether it be full-time gig or freelance base but aside from that Im a HUGE lover of Craft Beer and breweries so if anyone wants to chat beer sometime just hit me up. I'm happy to be a part of this bunch and hope to maybe chat with some of you about upcoming or prior episodes.
Catch ya'll round!

Welcome Andrew! Glad to have you join!
Welcome to the fun, Andrew!
Saw you mentioned craft beer and So Cal. Do you find a lot of local craft beer in your area? Or do you mainly get stuff from other areas?
We have a growing community of brewers here in my area (coastal South Carolina) thanks to some recent changes in state laws. It's great to have several local choices. It has also driven several businesses to expand their non-local offerings too.
Anyway, what are some of your favorite craft beers right now?
- Bubba

Hey dad welcome to the tower :)
Hi Rouben and welcome to theaddictionTower!
Pretty cool that you turned on several of your family members to the show and subsequently the forums too.
Lots of good stuff in here and we usually have a good time. Check out the groups and the REPtrivia sections for more good times.
I would also like to say "Thank you!" for your service to our country. I really appreciate it.

My name is Tony from deep down da bayou in Addis LA. Just happened across your podcast and listened to all 3 seasons in about 2 days!!! Can't wait for the new season. Lizzy sounds hot - makes sense since the voice talent working with her is hot. The Saul - Lizzy relationship annoyed me at first / now it's the most emotional story line. The writing got better as the show progressed. Well done!
Hi, I'm Christian. Found We're Alive last week and now I'm almost done with Season 1. I'm a huge fan of the zombie fiction so this podcast is a real treat. Now I have an awesome motivator to get me walking!

So far I'm really impressed. While I think some of the voice acting and dialogue is weak, but everything else is incredible. My thoughts on the acting aside, the story itself is engrossing and I love the focus on establishing a community and long term survival rather than just killing zombies
I felt the same in the first season - takes off like a rocket ship when the mallers appear.Quote:

Hey Everyone,
My name is Will and I'm a mortgage administrator from N.Ireland. I found this podcast by accident some months ago while searching for something to listen to on the PODCASTS! app for windows phones. I was laying a new kitchen floor and had already been up to date with all my other audio fixes and needed something to entertain or engage my imagination while cutting boards and measuring.
I was first drawn in by the illustration and description and had never given audio drama's a go before and thought, hey.. why not?
I'm glad I did. sufficed to say I powered through every available episode in every spare moment I had. Mostly staying up late at night with a cup of tea, eyes closed, immersing myself in KC's world and following each character in their development.
I'm so looking forward to season 4. August cant come soon enough!
Hey Will and welcome to the forums! Always good to hear from other fans of the show.
Jump in and share in the different threads out there. Also, if you think you know the world of We're Alive, hit the REPTRIVIA link at the top of each page and see how well you can do.
See ya around.
Hello, My name is Michael! I started listening about a week and a half/two weeks ago. I'm 31 and just recently got my first cell phone let alone smartphone. I discovered the pod cast and somehow found the "Were Alive" podcast. I've listened to all 36 episodes in the past two weeks mostly here and there untill last night at work when I went on a marathon of listening. I have to say I never thought I would be this impressed with a podcast but I have to say this is my favorite story. I'm not a huge horror buff like some ppl I've seen on hear. I just kindda get rapped up in all kinds of movies and shows. I wish I could have found out about this podcast sooner, I would have loved to try to apply for one of the voices or something. I'm very bummed out to have read that season 4 will be the last season (I believe I read that somewhere, half out of it now, work 3rd shift). I make dental supplies for dentist, not much to write home about there. I've always wanted to be an actor but never did anything about it. Guess I was raised in the wrong enviroment to believe I could actually make it. I live in central PA and occassonally play battlefield 3 on xbox (gt is killpilla if yah wanna hang out, play or just talk about were alive). I feel so bad for Angel and Kalani and his daughter, and was soo upset when Pegs left Michael. I just find it so depressing its coming to an end and fear one of the main group may die as much as I'm hoping they kill the crap outta the tattooed man and his boyfriends.
Hey Michael, welcome to the addiction!
Sounds like you've gone "All In" on We're Alive with the marathon listening. I know the first time I had to wait for a new episode after listening to an entire season all at once, it was agonizing. But there is some fun stuff and cool people in the forums to help pass the time until season 4 starts.
What happens after that though.....
Hello,
