I found We're Alive through a post in a forum, and I was hooked.
But, my story's boring, why don't you tell us yours?
Since the forums have moved I shall redo my how I found this amazing podcast.
I am a huge zombie fan and I loved the Walking Dead and I happen to stumble upon a podcast by the name of Walking Dead TV Podcast. It basically discusses the ins and outs of the show and the comic and one day one of the hosts mentioned that we should be listening to We're Alive. I was at work at the time listening to do it, so I just went to iTunes on my iPhone and looked it up and downloaded it immediately. I was hooked within minutes and probably made it through 4 chapters that day alone. I have sense caught up entirely and am eagerly awaiting to see what happens in Chapter 18 Part 1.
I'll put in mine as well.
I went over to my girlfriends house one day and she and her brother where in the living room listening to the podcast and at first i was just sitting around thinking what in gods name is this? and as i listened it got pretty interesting to listen to. i didn't get to finish the episode they had on so when i got home that night i looked it up and started listening from the beginning and i was hooked. luckily i found the old forums as they started out and got to watch the podcast grow and the characters evolve week by week and it has been quit an interesting time listening to each episode.
Hello.
Honestly I found the podcast completely at random. I started listening when the series was in the middle of season 1. During that time (around summer of 2010) I just started listening to a bunch of Old Time Radio podcasts; mostly of the old Superman radio soaps. Then I eventually started to broaden my horizons to the mystery genre. Soon I started downloading thriller podcasts and got an automated suggestion from my ZUNE software for a podcast called "We're Alive". I saw that the series was just starting out and decided to check out the first 3 episodes. I was immediately hooked and stayed up the entire night listening. When I completely caught up I decided to send an email to KC Wayland about how thrilled I was about the series. Surprisingly he emailed me back right away the next day! Still a huge fan and ended up referring 5 of my friends to the series. And of course, they all love it.
My story is boring... The one and only Greg Miller recommended on IGN's Beyond. Im sure a lot of you are fans of this podcast too :)
I heard a promo for the podcast but I can't remember where... I then went and listened to the first episode. I subsequently listened to maybe the majority of season 1 and spammed all of my facebook friends with it! Now I hate having to wait each week for juicy new zombie bits.
a friend of mine hit "like" on the facebook profile.
the interesting part is, i hadn't read my facebook feed for a while. and i only read about 5 posts that day before i got bored. but one of those 5 posts happened to be the "like" of We're Alive. it's like it was an involuntary act. but the end result, is brilliant.
and now, i've listened to it in its entirety 5 times. and i'm sure, 6 is not that far off. (driving being 50% of your job has some advantages).
Found it through my zune pass.
I had bought a new phone and was just browsing through it and stumbled on the podcast feature, open it up and it was one of the first options on the list. Im a fan of zombie movies, storys, etc. Gave it a listen and have been hooked ever since!!!
I saw this on the Zune Marketplace for the last few months. I kept saying, "there is no way this will be worth a damn." Now that football season is over, I am desperate for some good podcasts. I gave Alive a shot and haven't looked back. Also been telling ALL my friends about it.
Like most people I heard about it through IGN's Podcast BEYOND, so not anything special, but sure glad I checked it out.
Podcast Beyond!! It's a conversational podcast.
I actually was browsing around on iTunes for new podcasts, when I entered "Zombies" into the search. We're Alive happen to be one of the first podcasts that popped up, and I noticed it was free, so I downloaded it thinking it was a podcast about people talking about zombies stories, games, and so on. When I noticed it was a drama, I decided to upload a couple of episodes into my iPhone, and take a drive and listen to a couple of them. I WAS HOOKED by the time I got back home and automatically downloaded the rest. Still to this day, every single release from iTunes is on my iPhone, so I can listen to the complete story so far anytime I want.
I was browsing the forum Zombie Squad and I stumbled across a poster saying that this was worth a listen, so I downloaded and never looked back.
I was looking for random podcasts like "Wait, Wait don't tell me" on NPR and as I cruised the podcast galaxy I stumbled upon this. All I needed to read was Zombie and I was all in.
I'm kinda glad that i didn't find out about this sooner, cause having to wait a week is just killing me.
Came from the old forums, really liking the new look for the new forums. Though, I miss my M.I.B. avatar
I love zombies and I love podcasts. I searched zombie on the iTunes podcast section. Went through about five crappy podcasts until I found We're Alive. I felt very lucky. We're Alive should have been on the front screen saying RECOMMENDED!
I know what you mean. When I found the podcast, I had about a year and a half worth of audio to listen too. These last 2 releases were ones that I actually had to wait for, and it kills me waiting for the newest episode because I was so used to having the next episode ready and available.
I heard about it on either podcast beyond OR on gamescoop, i cant remember which one, but it was definitely greg miller who got me into this.
it makes me wonder, how many listeners did greg bring to we're alive? it must have been a good number if KC is letting him guest star on the podcast
I found We're Alive around Halloween time and it was a recommended podcast by iTunes. I'm a podcast whore, I also used to work in radio in college and was very intrigued by the idea of a radio drama about zombies. So hurray for iTunes never leading me astray with their podcast suggestions!
I found it on http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/zombie-apocalypse/ and glad i did i was always a fan of radio shows and this one being about zombies I just couldnt pass it up
I heard it on the Radio Drama Revival podcast. If you like a variety of radio-drama style podcasts I can highly recommend them. They play sample podcasts from a number of different souces. It's the best resource I've come across for finding quality shows. One of their episodes featured "We're Alive" about halfway through season 1 and I was hooked.
I was using Google to find Zombie related audiobooks and came across a web page that listed a bunch of zombie podcast dramas.
Got a new blackberry device, installed a podcast app, found it and got hooked ever since.
I have no doubt that it is, but since I need something to fill the other days of my commute between Mondays I'm going to try some of the others out. Maybe one of the others listed on that Radio Drama Revival site will be a worthy fill-in between WA episodes. If not I'll just have to find some new audiobooks. Have to get my daily word fix somewhere :)
But to answer the OP's question, I found this most excellent podcast via Google search for (believe it or not) "zombie podcast". I was in a scifi/horror/zombie mood and was hoping to find something new to listen to in the car, and here we are. It was amazing to go through the first (17?) chapters immediately, and now I wait eagerly for the new episodes every week :)
A friend of mine who knows that I like zombies let me know about it.
Yay friends.
Glad you were all able to hear about the show either through friends, other podcasts, or just your own zombie interest. This community is awesome and look forward to seeing it grow more!
My "We're Alive" story begins much as my existence did, in a movie theater. I was attending a midnight showing of "Zombieland" and a handsome KC Wayland approached me. Between his sporadic bouts explaining, "The end of the world!" and "My favourite magic toenail.", I heard of a tale of zombie survival, purely audio driven. After he threw a demo CD squarely into my forehead, I was hooked.
I heard about We're Alive (well read about it) through an interview on IGN.com! And there was me thinking that website was pretty useless these days :-p Totally hooked now!
Someone posted a link on the forum.
herd about it through greg miller of ign and now pete
had a week off from school because of snow days so i decided to check it out with all the extra time and was blown away
Found it totally by accident, my brother downloaded the Zune software on his laptop and to see if he got a connection to the internet he downloaded a few random podcasts. And guess what? Oh you already know don't you? I guess I won't say it.
Ok I'll say it. Or will I? Ok I will. Yeah so you probably already guessed by now that it was recommended by a friend. Just kidding
It was one of the ones he downloaded and I saw the picture, thought it was cool so I started listening to it.
Coincidentally I was surfing the zune market place and saw that both podcasts are under the recommended podcasts.
very cool!!
