The thread about other audio dramas got me thinking- where do you listen to We're Alive etc? Driving, exercising, or 'other'?
I know truckers who plan their day around the radio/audio. I'm not a trucker but I drive a lot as part of my job, so I save new We're Alive episodes as a 'treat' for worktime (sometimes I can't stand the wait) I'm always looking for things to keep my brain alive on the job...
Or exercising- I go for long walks with ye olde MP3 player....
Wubbout youze guys?
I too listen while at work. I drive around basically for 8 hours a day looking for stuff to do. Having something to listen to that is other than music is good. The guys at the station make fun of me for listening to audio dramas and books but they also tell me they get bored driving around all the time. Since I've gone to night shift I've been able to catch up on a lot of audio.
I listen to it while i'm driving to work....sometimes i'll listen to it while messing around on my computer.
Moved this into the Introduction/Where did you hear about us. I think it's another one of those nice icebreaker threads :)
I try my damnedest to listen to WA at home. The only other place I'd be able to listen is on the subway and when I listen on the subway I always miss stuff because it's too noisy to listen to something as deep and complex as WA.
I listen at work. When I worked the night shift I listened to a lot more shows and read a lot more. Now that I work straight days I just listen to WA, WND, Stuffyoushouldknow, Hollywoodbabbleon, and Who Charted with Howard Kremer.
I either listen to We're Alive in the car, or when I am going to bed. I listen to it like an audio book rather than a podcast.
Everywhere :p
I love listening to WA on my walk to uni, the only problem with that is sometimes I get to uni before the end of an episode which means I have to stop half way through, those truly are bad times!!
p.s. can any one suggest any other podcasts to listen to? I love WA but those week long gaps leave me wanting to listen to something else just to fill the time in between chapters! (I do already listen to WND too)
I listen in my car on the way to work and finish it up on the way back. I believe I normally play the newest file on a Tuesday morning, but if I can't wait, I play it on Monday nights while playing a game (with the game's sound turned really low or completely off, depending on the game).
During the rest of the week, I'll play other podcasts that I subscribe to... unless I get in a mood for one of my playlists, which happenes often.
I'll re-listen to older episodes on the way to work, I usually save the new episodes for when I can use my headphones, either when I'm out walking my dog or just about to go to sleep
In bed. Strangely I find it quite relaxing.
I listen at work now. I have a long commute, so when I first discovered it, I caught up on all the back episodes on the bus. And it was awesome! Every once in a while, I listen to the old episodes again on the way home; it totally kills the travel time. Now, I eagerly wait at my computer every Monday morning for the latest crack, er I mean episode! :)
Listen @ work
Bus, Lecture Hall, various places on campus, at home.
I listen to We're Alive and many other podcasts at work. I work 12 hour shifts on Monday and Tuesday.
When I first downloaded it at work, I listened to almost the entire first season in one day. I paced myself afterwards :D

I listen on the walk/train/tube into work; two episodes get me almost exactly door to door!
Home,at school before homeroom, after school, on the late bus, at stage crew, on a plane.
I listen to it once at work and then a second time at home while I'm cooking. Love this show!
I listen to it on my way home from school and during my Spanish class. Because my priorities tell me that WA is more important than that silly grade!
There's another thread with suggestions http://zombiepodcast.com/forum/showt...ht=audio+dramaQuote:

The best place I can think to listen to it... in bed, in the dark, as late as I can possibly keep my eyes open with headphones. Makes it that much easier to put myself there.
Just before I go to sleep. It adds to the drama.
Try you've got dead on you.Quote:

I listen to We're Alive EVERYWHERE it doesn't matter what I'm doing if i have my ipod or I'm near my computer i listen to the podcast.
Everywhere but I really like the bathtub I find it nice and relaxing to listen to podcasts and now this and just chill out. Normally on a Wednesday because I don't have uni on Wednesdays.
When the new episodes come out I am at work, so I listen there, but they are on my iPod for when I walk somewhere or want to listen at work, so when I feel like it I will put on an episode.
Everywhere, but I prefer loading up my MP3 player and listening while taking walks.
Download mp3 and listen on mp3 player in the dark...sucks coming back
I work in accounting for a Fortune 100 corporation. Sometimes my job can get quite monotonous. Ever noticed how boring that word is?
So, I have been mainlining the podcasts for the last 2 weeks. At least 2 chapters every day!
Beware the crash, when you catch up to the show and don't have a stash of chapters to listen too. 2 weeks without a fix...Quote:

Yeah, I'm about to catch up, but fortunately, I haven't started listening to the WND podcasts yet...so that's what I have set aside. Plus, as the weather gets better, I'll be staring out the window more often trying to catch a glimpse of my baby so that I can go riding after work...LOLQuote:
