103: Jay & Jack + The Walker Stalkers
24/04/2013 Duration: 02h18minIt's been awhile, but we're making up for it with our longest show ever! It's the circle of podcasting as we talk with relative newcomers to the scene, the fabulous James and Eric, a.k.a. The Walker Stalkers, about their experiences meeting the cast of TWD, interacting with the listeners, and planning events. And later at the other end of the gamut, we talk with two of our podcasting idols, Jay and Jack of The Lost Podcast. As we knew it would be, it was a lot of fun and a true honor to talk with Jay and Jack. Without them, our own podcast would almost surely not exist, and we were actually more tongue-tied and giddy talking to them then when we interview the cast of TWD :) All that plus our review of the Evil Dead remake, the latest news, and all your listener moans, groans, and grunts! Rarrr! And don't forget, if you're starting to feel that jones for more Walking Dead, we've still got tickets for our upcoming San Diego event with The Walker Stalkers. Slated to attend are WD prison

102: "Welcome to the Tombs" (S3E16)
02/04/2013 Duration: 01h56minHere it is, our reaction to the season three finale. As you might imagine, we had mixed feelings, but overall thought it was pretty great. Also, we announce the winner of our Michonne haiku LiveScribe SmartPen contest. Some great haiku from you guys! Some of the best ever :) And stay tuned to the end for a big announcement for the podcast. Also, don't forget to check out our Comic Con event with James and Eric of The Walker Stalkers. We'll have games, prizes, a live podcast, and special guests. The first cast member confirmed to appear is Nick Gomez (Tomas). Get your tickets at walkingdeadcast.com/tickets. Thank you for helping make this a great season of podcast, our favorite yet! Just because The Walking Dead is on hiatus (yes, hi-AY-tis), that doesn't mean we're going anywhere. As usual, you can count on us to keep you entertained and informed in the coming months. Look for a new episode in a couple of weeks!

101: "This Sorrowful Life" (S3E15) + Dallas Roberts (Milton)
26/03/2013 Duration: 01h36minIt was great to finally talk with Dallas Roberts, a.k.a. our favorite socially awkward zombie apologist/scientist Milton Mamet. You guys know I've been so impressed with Dallas' line readings, and I was excited to hear his approach to dialog. Plus, learn whether it was Milton who torched the biters in the screamer pit, what Dallas thinks Milton's relationship with the Governor was pre-apocalypse and much more. But first, hear my and Karen's reactions to this week's episode. Maybe a little more disagreement between us than usual. One thing's for sure, we'll miss Michael Rooker and we're stoked for next week's episode. Some great calls and emails from you guys this episode too, and more. Finally, we've got 575 ratings and reviews in iTunes (THANK YOU!) and we're going for 600 before next week's season finale. This season we've brought you over twice the number of interviews that we did last season, and we've been working hard to make the podcast great.

We had a blast chatting with our guest of honor, Andrew Lincoln, who talked about why he's an actor, his thoughts on the possibility of Rick losing a hand, whether he keeps up with cast mates who've left the show, and much much more. Tons of other surprises this episode, like the debut of both Nathan Melsted's extended version of our intro song and also our new disgustingly gorgeous Walking Dead 'Cast t-shirts (check 'em out!). We talk with designer Marc Manfre about his inspiration for designing these beautiful babies. And finally, we play your generously congratulatory calls and read a few emails between the two of us from years past. Thank you so much, by the way, for listening.

19/03/2013 Duration: 01h34minWe open this episode with a fun interview with Nick Gomez, a.k.a. everyone's favorite convict with an attitude, Tomas.

95: Laurie Holden (Andrea) Interview
01/03/2013 Duration: 23minSo stoked to bring you this interview with Laurie Holden. It's definitely one of my favorites we've ever done. Laurie was incredibly open and genuine, giving her perspective on people's judgments of Andrea's character, among other things. Find out why Andrea didn't kill the Governor when she had the chance (it's not what you think), how Andrea feels about the way she treated Dale after the CDC, how it was to be apart from the main cast for most of season three, and much more.

93: Steven Yeun (Glenn) Interview
21/02/2013 Duration: 32minWe couldn't be more pleased to present this latest interview with the gracious and talented Steven Yeun.
