My initial reaction hearing about the show was "audio only? no thanks" but it grows on you after you start listening.

Discovered this in September. Caught up now. 3 seasons of 36 episodes of 45 to 55 minutes in length. The episodes are broken into three parts. High quality.

 

[The General]

Very cool. Will give these a listen, thanks for posting.

 

[attaché case]

Ill give it 10 minutes to hold my attention. If not I'm out.

sometimes threads scroll off the first page, and you have to look on the second page.

Wait, there's more than one page??? But seriously, I did a search and it didn't show up.

I'm only through chapter 7 but this is kicking the Walking Dead's ###.

I've listened through chapter 11 (season 1) and it's so good I find reasons to go outside and "do stuff" while I listen. Excellent excellent story. While i can tell they put a lot of energy in to the production, it makes me wonder why more script-writer types don't use this format. It's really well done.

They do an excellent job in developing characters. Even Samantha - who was around for only two episodes - seemed important.

I've been doing a lot of VO work in audio dramas, so much fun to do. They seem to be getting popular and this can only help.

Very well done...in!

Always looking for new things to listen to on the commute. This looks cool.

Apologies. I didn't think about that.

Just like TV shows, this runs so many episodes per season. Season three ended 12/5.

Thanks.When does season 4 start?

The other seasons had 5 months off in between so my guess would be that it returns around May.

 

[Dexter]

Sounds like something worth listening in the car to and from work.

Does anyone else remember a series kind of like this but it was about a guy who was trying to get back to seattle after all power goes out?

 

[Colts Win]

Just finished all 36 chapters. Great show! Anyone know of other audio shows that are worth listening too?

Thanks for starting a thread on this and bringing it to my attention; I would never have even been aware of this if it wasn't for the FFA. Just finished Season 1 today and I've really enjoyed this so far. The guys who voice Saul and Michael in particular do a great job.

Non-spoiler: This series takes a different approach to the zombie apocalyse and breaks some of the "rules" of the genre. I was uncertain about this at first, but I found that it ended up making the series fresher than what you might expect from a genre that's getting pretty stale.

 

[Vrana]

I just finished listening to this a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it a lot, but thought the story went slightly downhill in season 3.

I'm still looking forward to season 4.

 

[Chaka]

I just started listening to it this week. I just finished chapter three and am totally hooked.

I also started reading World War Z, which has been excellent so far, so I guess I'm not over the whole zombie apocalypse thing.

Thought the same thing but more than slightly. It really lost me and I had trouble staying interested.

 

[tud_duke]

On chapter 12 now, thank you for posting this. I am surprised I have not heard of it outside of here considering how awesome it is.

Not sure if I'm in season 2 or 3 but I haven't listened in weeks after really enjoying the first season.

 

[Chaka]

Just finished season 3. I am really enjoying it but am glad to hear that they are wrapping it up in season 4. I am not sure how they are going to manage it but it should be entertaining.

Spoiler

It really feels as this is beyond an unwinnable situation. There must millions of zombies (or whatever they are) they are getting more and more powerful, there are apparently only a couple thousand humans left in America and only one zombie effectively took out all 100,000 people in Boulder.

How do you win in that situation?

My prediction: Everyone dies. Or they cop out and find some cure based on the apparent immunity of two characters.

Spoiler

They're not going to kill everyone. I believe they have let only one principle character die, Angel, and it took three seasons for that. I have thought about the immunity thing and it's all fine and dandy but they have a veterinarian and a psych student as their only scientists. It's tough asking for plausibility in this type of series but, as someone with a PhD in human genetics myself, if those two develop some kind of cure based on that it will be the most implausible aspect of the entire series.

Yes I think mutant zombies would actually happen IRL before that.

Plus the zombie screaming is quite freaky. I can't wait till it starts again

 

[jamny]

Finally got around to giving it a real shot. Very good so far (4th chapter, season 1)

4th season started recently.

 

[fasteddie_21]

for DL tomorrow.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Wait...$21?!?

 

[Chaka]

Wait...$21?!?

They're charging for season 4?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Timely bump. I've worked my way through this very slowly -- I only listen to it while running, and I'm only infrequently in the mood for a podcast during a workout, so I've taken my sweet time getting caught up. That said, I'll probably finish Season 3 in the next couple of weeks. I agree with the people who noticed a clear drop-off from the second season to the third. It's like the writers didn't quite know where they wanted to take the show after the end of Season 2.

 

[Vrana]

I've been debating whether I should listen to season 4 as it goes on, or wait until it's all over.

I went through the first three seasons in about a month at work, so I'm not sure I could handle only listening to 20 minutes and then having to wait a week.

 

[Vrana]

I don't think so. It looks like you can still download all the episodes for free on their website:

Do they make any money? I know they have ads before and after the show but it is difficult to imagine that generates much cash.

 

[Vrana]

I've read the forums, and the creator has always said that they lose a lot of money. They also sell box sets of the seasons and t-shirts I think.

This isn't something they do for the $.

I do voice work on a bunch of other audio dramas and they definitely don't do it for the money.

if you want to down load the entire thing directly onto your IPod/IPAD via itunes, they do charge by the season.

They also sell CD sets.

Else, if you are not lazy, you can still download every individual part to your computer and transfer to your mobile device. They allow you to download all of the mp3's for free at the link Vrana gave earlier. I am downloading them all now.

I can listen to them on my ipad (via wireless streaming) but I can't figure out how to download directly and store on ipad. Are you doing this on an iphone (ios) or other OS?

I don't think doggcatcher is available on ios.

 

[jamny]

I just download it on my phone from their rss feed

Just finished all 36 chapters. Great show! Anyone know of other audio shows that are worth listening too?

The Galactic Football League series by Scott Sigler is very good IMO. Only one guy (the author) doing all the voices, and nowhere near as good of sound production, but a really neat story that he does a good job on. The first book is called The Rookie, and they're all free podcasts on iTunes. The series isn't finished yet, but it's something like 5 books in. At some point he switched them to be young-adult language, but I'm not sure if the podcasts for the first two books are. My daughter read the first two books, now we're working through the third season on rides to school. I've listened to everything that's out, but it's nice to listen to them again and see some foreshadowing I missed the first time around.

Almost all of Sigler's stuff is good IMO.

 

[fasteddie_21]

Thanks, didn't know they could be had w/o paying $80 for the 4 seasons. DL'ing now for listening this week.
