Well…about me? I'm a Portlander, on my last year of college getting a BS in microbiology, I have four kids, so I'm super busy. I love the zombie genre, and was Lori from The Walking Dead this past Halloween.
Come to think of it, I'm really not that interesting!
Wait... which Portland? Maine?? Oregon???Quote:

I'm in my mid 30's & I stumbled on to the show while randomly searching for something to listen to on my iPhone besides news & music near the start of season 4. I than proceeded to bing listen to the show & we're not dead.
I have a BA in theater - but mostly work customer service jobs. I will most likely end up being a lurker (as this is what i do on Facebook as much as I resolve not to)
My name comes from a love of tabletop roleplaying games & I am a co-organizer of a local group (if you're in eastern PA or western NJ PM me & I'll send you details).
My interest in the Zombie genera is new. I'm not a big fan of the stories that focus on the "zombies are here & we're all gonna die" stories (Night of, 28 days, Resident Evil), but I truly enjoy the "there's all this stuff going on & zombies just happen to be part of it" and "the zombie thing happened now how do we fix/learn from it" (Newsflesh, World War Z, Walking Dead).
Thanks KC & Shane for creating another great world to add to the list if "things my friends need to geek out with me list".
Thanks to the cast, crew, writers & production staff for the all hard work you do in making the show so great.
Welcome aboard the forums.
Hope you have a great stay here.
I don't really remember how I found We're Alive. I did find it last week. Maybe on twitter? Anyway, I am Leslie. I am one half of a blogging duo at geekygirlsguide.com. I live in Indianpolis. I am an IT Techie, and one of very few females in my department. I caught up on everything on We're Alive in a week. I am listening to the newest one right now.
Welcome to all the new folks! Come on in, check out the rules on the wall over there, mind the flowerpots, and aim for the head.
See ya around!
Hi everyone, my name is Kostas and I'm located in Greece. Yep, I'm lucky enough to live on the foot of mount Olympus (in an ancient village called Dion), the mountain of the Gods, where probably I have better chances to survive the next Z-War :-D I don't remember where I read about "We're alive", but I got really stuck with it! It's equal to World War Z unabridged, though a different genre!! I'd like to thank you for the excellent work so far and looking forward to next chapters. May the 12 Gods be with you!
If I lived there, I would probably stand on a tall pedestal and yell "Release the Kraken!" way too often! :britt:Quote:

Sad to hear this is the last season but can understand that all good things come to an end. Looking forward to enjoying every episode to the end!
hi tonyhind68, thank you for the warm welcome! Kraken? Ehm, wrong mythology! Though I'm quite familiar with Norse mythology, I prefer a Greek beast, Cerberus! So yell with me "Release Cerberus, the three headed dog"!!! :-D
I am a single 40yo male that got an iPhone for birthday. I thought I would check out podcasts for something to listen to at night around the Halloween time. This podcast was featured. I started on the first episode (it was upto about season 3 and a half) I have never really been into zombie stuff apart from the British comedy film where they end up in the pub with the one display shotgun. Incidentally, I have been in the pub, in real life, on occasions (quite local). I am more into military stories, having read a lot of Andy McNab stuff. I found the introduction really cool and have listened to it all now. I got to current episode as of yesterday and was dreading the end
Hi everyone, I'm Jeremy and I'm a zombie-holic.
*everyone* "Hi Jeremy"
Been into zombies forever now, always been intrigued then when The Dawn of the Dead remake came out it got kicked into overdrive.
Stumbled upon the podcast about a year ago when I traded my Iphone for an android and was looking for a podcast app and the first recomendation it gave was for WA. Couldn't stop listening, have probably re-listened to the entire story 3-4 times now. Came here to the site for answers via the wiki and figured I'd make an account and share with some of the posts on here.
I am Pete. I am in my 40's (holy crap!). Usually I enjoy Sci-fi but I have been on a zombie kick for a few years and love written and audio zombie stories more than film. It seems to be scarier and let's my mind work up more. I live in Michigan, parent, husband and I work for a copier company that sometimes is used as a verb.....
Welcome to the forum everyone :D
I just registered and wanted to say Hi to everyone. It's a great podcast.
Welcome to the forum everyone. Get involved and join in the fun :D
'Tis such a lovely place to be, hmm?Quote:

I found the series last December while on a random Itunes search. DL'ed a couple of episodes at a time, but never really got hooked until the first season finale - specifically the moment where they decided to throw out the sweat bottles during the middle of the firefight. I have a background in law enforcement, and was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy the writers got with the prison scenes.
It's been fun catching up on things and lurking around, as well as getting involved in show mythology....not to mention having fun with it.
I don't think Kc was very amused with my idea to tart Ink up a tad for the upcoming musical episode. I can't understand why.
Hi guys,
My name is Bunny (yes that's really my real name !)
I live in England and am studying at university here in a London (or as the Americans call it College).
I study law, so can really relate to Kelly as it engrains in you a certain way of thinking and looking at things. Also don't forget how god damn hard it is, she may not be a scientist but she is damn smart so I love how Kc has turned her character into what we see now and that she is doing something crucial.
I found We're Alive about 18 months ago and fell in love, safe to say I caught up on all the episodes very quickly. Am jealous of those yet to discover in a way!!
I love all things zombie, really don't mind what kind of story arch. But I must say I love the general atmosphere in We're Alive.
Constantly plugging the series on my social networking profiles to the UK!
Thanks for reading guys!!
Welcome
Welcome to all the new people! It's good to have you along for the ride.
Good evening and greetings...
I'd prefer to keep my name to m'self, but suffice it to say I'm from the United States. I've spent lots of time in the Eastern and Western states, and served a proselyting mission two years in the South. I'm almost graduated from college, and I'll be glad to get out of it altogether.
I actually started the zombie craze years ago when my brother introduced me to a rare gem called "Fort Zombie"... I'm afraid I haven't been able to go back since. Left 4 Dead was what really got me started in, though. I also enjoy role playing systems like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Outbreak Undead, and many others. I've been gaming since 1996... I discovered We're Alive by sheer luck, and have been enjoying it since.
Hi, I suffer longterm depression and anxiety, recently I have found listening to audiobooks and your podcast help me greatly just leaving the flat. I can plug myself in and cope with things that otherwise would leave me with a full pannic attack. I feel guilty that i am unable to donate or otherwise help you and show my appreciation for the help you have given me. I have even re listened to previous series when i am uptodate with the current one.
Without distractions such as your podcast, there would be even more days that even leaving the flat would be impossible.
I know these words are nothing compared to what you have given me, but I still need to show my gratitude.
Thanks, and keep up the good work,
Ian m
Ian, there are times where I suffer from anxiety and depression, so I know what you're going through. What you did here is often the best therapy - telling someone and finding something to keep your mind off how you feel.
There are good people here and if I or anyone else could ever do anything to help, please let us know! :D

I understand completely how you're feeling. And how certain things help to lift us or take our minds away from the darkness.
Anyway, that's all!
Hey Guys just wanted to say hi I'm from Perth Westeren Australia, I'm a really big fan of your work I found you purely by accident on the iTunes podcasts, your work it's insanely fabulous!!! I now find myself listening to the show instead of movies, incredible idea only using audio especially for a Zombie podcast, scary & suspenseful as hell though! You have made a Fan outta me, I think all the characters are excellent and extremely well written, it's amazing the emotion that the Actors get into the series, I've laughed and cried aswell as been on the edge of my seat (most of the time) I think what you have created is more than a story. You created a journey and people are loving following these Characters on this epic journey.Anyway keep up all your fantastic work.

Name is Jessy and I feel like I have finally arrived, what have I been doing all my life that I just found this site and the We're Alive podcast today. I can sum that up in one word Ohio, yep my home state, it was hot and sunny at 4 and snowing at 5, ugggg. I have loved horror and most of all zombies since I was little. I have read hundreds of zombie ebooks, and usually listen to audio books of the zombie kind everyday at work. I work all day literally, if I'm not at my salaried job as an estimator for a restoration/construction company, I'm in my workshop refurbishing, up cycling, re purposing, building, creating, drawing, painting,......if I'm not in my workshop with my 7 year old son than I'm with him in every possible free second I get. Oh and every Sunday my best friend and I watch the Walking Dead and plan for the zompoc. So that's me, pretty simple and definitely weird, but happy and glad to be here! Thanks for having me....
Hi everyone, I am a 48 year old taxi driver and I live in N Ireland. I virtually tripped over the podcast We're Alive by accident as I was talking to my brother about something unrelated and he mentioned the We're Alive podcast.
I have loved this genre since I first watched the original Dawn of the Dead. I think I have just found my new home.

Has anyone done a "map" of the locations covered in the show?

We're Alive is so well done, it is just amazing. It's like popping in one of my top 10 favorite zombie movies of all time, but not having the video cable connected. I can't believe how much I have fallen in love with the characters, and it is so sad that it is coming to an end soon. Lets hope enough people cry about it and they decide to continue. Hey! Cast and crew, can't you guys just take a break? Take a year off and then come back! Anyway, I have a strong feeling nothing out there even comes close to comparing with We're Alive. Sadly, I think it will remain numero uno in my heart. Does anybody know of any other good zombie/apocalyptic stories to listen to? We're Alive has really opened my eyes (or ears) to this whole podcast thing. It is really nice listening to this on my way to and from work in the morning and evening. I would like to continue listening to podcast.
P.S. To the cast and crew of We're Alive... Thank you, for everything! It has been so much fun!
Hello, my name is Jake. I live on Guam and that's all I would like to share. I'm not too chatty and would just like to enjoy the site.
Hello everyone. I'm Tim, from Washington State, currently living and working in South Korea. I found the podcast this last winter while I was walking home from work. Got hooked and now here I am. Awesome podcast!
Welcome to the forums. Nice to see a new face! (or avatar)Quote:
