The name is Jim, but my handle here is dontkillburt. And I mean that. Burt is my favorite character and I’d really hate to see him get offed from the show. He will survive (right KC?).
At sixty, I imagine I am one of the elder listeners here. But that’s okay, I’m still young at heart and I REALLY enjoy the We’re Alive broadcast.
Can’t say I’m much of a zombie buff. Never believed them to be much of a threat to my existence. As a kid growing up, it was only cold war, nuclear bombed resurrected dinosaurs that stomped on major Japanese cities (that we also bombed) or outer space blobs rolling down the theater aisles you had to contend with. And only if you heard a theremin playing somewhere, did you know someone was about to be threatened, abducted or eaten. Okay, the Night of the Living Dead was somewhat apocalyptic, but by 1968 I was about graduating from high school and knew zombies didn’t really pose a problem. Especially since Burt’s Vietnam war was then in high gear, giving America’s youth something even more frightening to deal with than zombies.
Anyway, I live in El Segundo, CA, which, according to the official We’re Alive “map”, is just a stone’s throw south of the maller’s mall and the pumping station, and immediately adjacent to LAX south runways. To my south, according to the map, lies Eastern Bay, which I’m still looking for. I think we locals refer to it as “Redondo Beach”.
Anyway, big fan of the broadcast and am looking forward to season three. We all are (zombies included).
