Introduce Yourself!

Hi I'm Milt living in Norfolk, VA. I've been a big fan of the Zombie genre since George Romero's Night of the Living Dead (saw it first on TV in the 70's). I don't do forums that much but this one is definitely worth it. I would like to read what other people think about one of the best stories ever told in this genre. I bumped into "We're Alive" (WA) while searching Amazon.com for another zombie book. I heard a sample of it, which made me purchase Season 1 and 2 from Audible.com. I was hooked just from the sample audio! I seen uncountable zombie movies and have about 30 e-books on my tablet. WA is one of the best! Some people may disagree, but in IMHO, I like the WA audio drama a bit more than the "Walking Dead" (WD) TV series. Don't get me wrong, WD is bad A**!, But WA has more action, suspense, different types of zombies, and I can have my own view of how the characters look (lol). WA seems to be more than an infection that started it like most (if not all) zombie movies, with the exception of Allen Ormsby"s "Children Should Play With Dead Things - (1970's bad acting, very low budget, but a very good and creepy story!). You know, I don't think the writers should let us really know why it happened, and who the guy in the pin strip suite really is until a couple more season down the road. Those two points in the plot really bugs me and will make me come back for more just because I don't know yet.

Anyway I can't wait until season 4!!! WA is too INTENSE!!!

Thanks

Hi, it is great to be here!

My story of finding We're Alive is pretty cool! A few years back on a poker night one of my buddies mentioned that he had found this show. I didn't think to check it out at the time until this year when I started Grad school. I was spending more time doing research in the library and needed something to to play so that I could keep focused (just the way I work haha). Remembering that conversation I downloaded a few episodes. I quickly became hooked on the show and was amazed by how compelling the story was beyond just the standard "shoot em in the head style" standard zombie fare. It has really come in handy both while working and during long commutes.

Very excited and looking forward to being a part of the community

Hi, I'm Terry from Richmond, VA. I got sucked into the whole zombie genre via the Walking Dead... Then I started reading- stuff like Yesterday's Gone, World War Z, Apocalypse Z, the LZR series, The Remaining, Hugh Howey's very bizarre "I Zombie" ... And so on. I like listening to Podcasts while I'm driving, and was pretty well stuck on This American Life and Savage Love... Then when the podcast app came out I had a more thorough look at what was out there and stumbled upon "We're Alive." I have been on a marathon listening session from the first chapter for weeks now and loving every minute. I just finished Mark of the Beast so I still have a long way to go before I catch up. Which is actually depressing to think about because I'm going probably chew my own arm off waiting for episodes like the rest of you have to do. But for now, it's a happy click of a button and I'm on to the next. Love this podcast so much- I can't believe there's to more out there like this- but I imagine its not easy to do, and these folks are seriously talented.

Hello and welcome Terry and Michaela,

@Terry: you seem to be one of the new zeeh-specialists. And your estimate about chewing off arms is not too far-fetched. My advice: listen to the WA show several times. You'll recognize plenty of new details and actually even important 'facts' within the WA-verse. Already knowing how things turned out to be is no hindrance to enjoying the show a second, third or whatever time. Actually I am very amazed that the suspense does not wear off so much. Give it a try, and you'll see that the waiting till season #4 will be less annoying.

@Michaela:
I know Rotterdam. Not the one in NY, but the one in the Netherlands.
Looks like you have some skills in establishing special survival traits - like how to take care of a safe-house.
Creatures of the Nights can be fun, but Zombies are awesome. Zombies have a weird 'factor' to them, which creatures of the night lack a lot.Creatures of the night usually show up as solitairy creatures or very small societies with super-powers. But zombies ... Horde, stupid, 24/7 active, simply dangerous, ok, well, and kind of superpowers as well ... You got me.
Same for you: While planning to get away from Rotterdam, try listening to WA several times. Plenty of detail-work was and is put in there; you'll love it.

All the best!
Liam

Hello everybody! I'm Ken from NYC. I stumbled upon We're Alive on iTunes podcasts. The description and reviews seemed good so I gave it a listen and it was AWESOME! Never had I ever thought there would be zombie based audio stories. The sound effects and voice acting are great! I love to soak up the details as best as i can. I've listened to the entire audio drama once and am on my second review. I listen to it almost every waking moment. Carrying the story around my house with my portable speaker, at work with an earpiece and in the car on my drives. There's so much put in, I want to soak all of it up! I've been lurking this forum for a few days now and decided to become active. See you around!
