Welcome to the forums!

My name's Jeremy, I'm a web designer based out of Kansas of all places. I run The Audio Drama Directory online. I'm a huge audio drama guy which should be pretty obvious since I started The Audio Drama Directory. I listen to tons and tons of shows and We're Alive is one of the best I've ever heard, it's the one I'm most excited about each week.

I like the audio format as well cause I've been a bit stricter with what I watch the last few years. I'm not really into the gore/horror side of movies anymore like I was as a kid. It seems like everyone is too concerned with how to gross out more than the last movie and I just can't get into that, no one seems to be actually trying to drive story, that's why I really like We're Alive. I don't have to watch a gorefest but I can still get my zombie story. I think I've been somewhat drawn to the post-apocalyptic stuff like zombie stories represent. I really like the 'what would you do' of it all. That's again something that really keeps me with this show, it's really well thought out on not only how these people would survive but how they're trying to figure out what's happened, what they can do about it and all that. The stuff with cross-referencing journals for patterns and the experiments they were running, love it.

Welcome Jeremy. You're far from the only Kansan here.

Lol. The sirens were growing crazy earlier, but living in Kansas my whole life, I'm not scared in the least bit. Tornados are old hat to me now.

I don't know if I've written on here yet, and will not manage a particularly in depth attempt right now.
Suffice to say I've only recently gotten into We're Alive (and WND) in the past month or so, catching up quite quickly.
So, the cliff notes:

I am a hobbit-like Northern-Irish born Aussie living Down Under. I only really got into zombies with Shaun of the Dead, the evil dead trilogy and 28 days later, but quickly backtracked and devoured the Romero zombie movies and a few others out there too. Found this quite by accident and have loved it ever since, even if it makes sleeping in a dark room in a creaking wooden house fun...

Other than that, what's to tell? Oh yeah, BIG Dr Who fan, tolkien fan, pratchett fan, enjoy a lot of fantasy reading (Eddings, Lewis, George R R, Erickson, Feist, Robert Jordan, Sanderson etc). Anything else? Oh yeah, have 'an accent', though people seem to have trouble placing it (EnglishAussieIrishSouthAfricanNewZealandAmerican. .. and it changes when I drink!).
Right, that's the lot for now. May add more or just crawl into a hole with a box set of Doctor Who... which I have yet to own... legitimately...

Cheers,
Magrat.
PS - Radio Dramas: Grew up listening to The Goons, LOTR & The Hobbit, the earthsea quartet dramatisations and many others. Radio Drama is still very much alive and well in England, even if it died years ago in Oz and USA.

Welcome! That is the same route I took to get here.
