163: "Crossed" (S5E7) + Emily Kinney (Beth)
25/11/2014 Duration: 01h43minI can't decide if it's more fun when Karen and I agree or disagree about an episode. This week we've got a lot of both as we talk about "Crossed." Also big thanks to Emily Kinney for joining me for an in-depth and longtime coming interview.

162: Josh McDermitt (Eugene)
20/11/2014 Duration: 31minA little bonus episode for you—a great, in-depth interview with non-scientist Josh McDermitt. We talk about: An interesting new (to me anyway) fact about how the zombie sounds are made for the show. How he gets into character. More about how much Eugene had thought out his "cure" and the cause of the zombie breakout. What it was like to film the emotional scene where Eugene finally admits he's "NOT A SCIENTIST!" His resting bitch face. Whether Karen or I was right about whether Eugene saw that Abraham was about to off himself when they first met. And a bunch more.
