Randomly found it while searching zombie web sites...... now I'm hooked.
My sister told me about it. She was looking for the civil war book (our nephew is a reenactor) "A World On Fire" but the first google result, aworldonfire.com, is actually a zombie blog. One of it's top posts was celebrating We're Alive's one millionth download.
I discovered "We're Alive" after hearing about it on the "Walking Dead 'Cast" just last week on iTunes. Being old school (meaning almost old), I liked the idea of a zombie show done in the traditional radio style drama. I did not expect it to be this great! I like zombie movies alright, but am more intrigued to the post-apocalyptic plot lines, as long as they have a great dramatic story to tell. Since "28 Days Later" is my favorite of these movies, I was excited about watching the "Walking Dead." I was not disappointed. How greatly I was surprised by "We're Alive," which surprisingly, is just as good as its cinematic and television counterparts. I was hooked immediately and blistered through all of season 1 up to season 2 Chapter 23 today.
Hey all, been on the fourms for a while, but never got around to this, so figured now seemed like a good time. I actually was refered here from They Call Me Revolver after about a month or so of him going on and on and on about a zombie story done like the old school radio shows, which for some reason I imagined him sitting in front of the radio like the kid from "A Christmas Story". Anyhow, after about a month or so of this, I finally broke down and downloaded it on my iPad (about half way through season 2). A week later, got through all of them and was sad that I had to wait for a new one to air instead of being able to just goto the next one. And now I actually have the dates for when new episodes come out on my calander so I don't miss one!
I am surprised I hadn't found this sooner. I have been a zombie fan for about 5 years, having been an Urban Dead player from 2007, plus being in some forum RPG games we set up on our UD Forums.
I found this a week ago by browsing and finding a torrent of the show. A big Thank You to the show producers for keeping all of the episodes available in the podcast RSS feed.
Before I found WA, I listened to Max Brooks' audiobooks "Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z", plus the pretty funny "You've Got Dead On You" comedy podcast. I got through a few episodes of "How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse", another comedy podcast that is pretty good.
I listen to spill.com, podcast LEOG and everyweek they will make a refference to how amazing this story is... After awhile I looked it up, and they were right! So good! The voice actor of bird even made a cameo on the end of the show!
The cameo at the end of the show, 157:02 Bird makes his cameo. It's awesome one too! Both cameo, and that podcast

Taking a break from preparing for my summer vacation at the beach, I decided to check out iTunes for music and podcasts for the long drive. After downloading a ton of great music, on a whim I typed "zombie" in the Itunes Store search bar and immediately my eyes fixated on the "We're Alive" podcast... Then, in my car, I had one of the most memorable and enjoyable road trips to the beach ever listening to "We're Alive."
