I couldn’t help but notice that several of our Podcastica hosts have voices that are… let’s just say, exceptionally rich and resonant. So I thought—why not get them all together for a fun, laid-back conversation? In this special episode of our usually Patreon-exclusive Listener Chitchat series, I’m joined by four of our deepest-voiced dudes, Erik, Jonathan, Greg, and Alex, to talk podcasting, fandoms, Star Wars, The Walking Dead, and whatever else comes up. It’s a relaxed hang with some of the smoothest voices on the network—just for the fun of it. Enjoy!

“Wonderful” is word that came up a few times to describe this episode. Just so nice to have Joel back if even just for one more story, and to see some of the happier times with Ellie.

An iconic episode of The Walking Dead this week, maybe the first big “holy shit” moment, and a turning point for the series and definitely for Shane. What do you think? Was Shane right or wrong?

So great to see the first appearance of the Greene family, with Maggie galloping in and saving the day with her bat (!), and Hershel confidently using his veterinarian skillz to save poor little Carl. As capable and confident as they are, that’s how broken down Rick is. Poor dude.Want to help us keep the rewatch going? Please let your WD-loving friends know we’re doing it.

After wrapping TWD season 1, take a quick detour over to Japan with us for the acclaimed 2017 Japanese zombie head-trip of a movie, One Cut of the Dead. The movie is available to stream on AMC+ and Shudder, and you can rent or buy it on other platforms. And we do recommend checking it out before listening to the podcast, and make sure to keep watching past the 37-minute mark….Plus, it’s been awhile since we talked about any news on The Last of Us, and there is some, so we talk about it!You might be wondering why Lucy and I aren’t covering Return of the Living Dead as we had planned, and that’s because Lucy is out sick :( Hoping she’ll feel better ASAP.

It’s the aftermath of the zombie attack on camp, and the group is shaken and has a bunch of decisions to make, like weather to kill Jim just because he was bitten, whether to go to an army base or the CDC, and in Shane’s case, whether to shoot his best friend so he can have a shot with his wife.

If you’re a fan of Fear the Walking Dead, well… honestly you should probably skip this one, but lemme tell you, we had a blast recording it :) We’re thrilled to be joined by our favorite FTWD critic, Erik Kain, whose scathingly accurate reviews at Forbes you may have heard Lucy and I fawning over throughout the years.

So fun to be re-evaluating these episodes. We both liked this one better on rewatch and found it had more depth and humor than we realized before.

This interview with the wonderful Ross Marquand (Aaron) happened all because of The Sexton Single Malt and their brand new Walking-Dead-branded bottle of single malt Irish whiskey, which Ross is helping them promote and which you can pre-order right here: https://www.reservebar.com/products/the-sexton-single-malt-x-the-walking-dead-limited-edition Highly recommend checking that out! As always, it was awesome to talk with Ross. It was a quick interview, but we managed to cover some interesting topics like: What current-day Aaron would say to early Aaron. What it was like to film the intense late-season-10 episode “One More” with Gabriel and Mays (Robert Patrick). Whether he asked Angela Kang to change or add anything for Aaron. Whether his prosthetic arm comes off and on easily or needs to stay on all day during filming? How he’s feeling now the the end of The Walking Dead is in sight, and how he thinks he’s going to feel at the very end. And more!

It was a thrill to talk with Paola Lázaro about playing our favorite new Walking Dead character, Princess! She was even cooler than we thought she’d be (and we thought she’d be really cool). We covered a lot, including: What she loves about playing Princess. How she approached the character when she started. How she’s similar to Princess. What it was like to film her season 10C episode. Her thoughts on Andrew Lincoln. How she got Josh McDermitt to break character during a scene. How she feels about the fans. How she handles criticism. How she handles having ADHD. Her thoughts on Mercer and the actor who plays him, Michael James Shaw. Which WD character she would most like to play a scene with or write a scene for. What it’s like to come into the show near the end.. Whether she thinks the ZA has benefitted Princess. Whether she has improvised any of Princess’ lines. How well she thinks Princess would get along with Michonne. Whether she’s talked with Robert Kirkman. And more. Enjoy!
