Fans of The Walking Dead know it's so much more than a zombie show. It's an emotionally rich, character-driven series about love and loss, and found family, and the lengths we'd go through to protect the people we care about. That's what's kept us coming back all these years. (And also we like zombies.) I’m Jason Cabassi. My cohost Karen and I started podcasting about The Walking Dead back in 2010. Along the way, I’ve appeared on the show a couple of times as a walker, hosted hundreds of Q&A panels with TWD actors at conventions across the U.S., and eventually teamed up with my current co-host, the witty and insightful Lucy Hinnie. Together—with some incredible guests—we’ve covered The Last of Us and every Walking Dead spinoff, from Fear to Dead City. Right now, we’re enjoying a rewatch of the original series—with the full story in mind—and diving into the moments that still hit hard. Past guests on the podcast include Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Danai Gurira (Michonne), Norman Reedus (Daryl), Steven Yeun (Glenn), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), Robert Kirkman, Angela Kang, Greg Nicotero, and many more. And the most fun and fulfilling part of all this has absolutely been interacting with you guys and making it a conversation. So write in, send a voice message, and be part of it!

Okay, NOW it feels like the rewatch is back, with good old Glenn and Maggie, and that creepy peeping Tom, Eugene. But at least he’s our peeping Tom? Anyway, it was great having Steve Brown guesting with me on this one, especially since he has a military background, like Sgt. Abraham. Mentioned: Jason & Karen, together again!

Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus . Pluribus is the latest show from Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, who in our book is one of the all-time great TV creators. His writing is intelligent, meticulous, unexpected, and wry, and this show is wild. It’s very Twilight Zone-y. Creepy, thought provoking, thrilling, extremely odd in the best way, and super fun. If you haven’t tried it, we definitely recommend you give it a shot! And then, of course, listen to this podcast. And if you end up getting subsumed into the collective, we’ll be covering the rest of the season on Wax Episodic , available wherever you get podcasts, or at waxepisodic.com . PS If you’ve been a Podcastica listener for awhile, you might be interested know that the hosts for this podcast are me (Jason) and Karen, who started this network 15 years ago with The Walking Dead ‘Cast . So much fun podcasting with Karen again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This finale, we think, is one of those episodes where if you squint just right, it’s full of holes, and if you shift your perspective just a little, it’s delightful! And we’re delighted to talk it out. Next time we’ll be going right back into the Walking Dead rewatch, and we really encourage anyone who hasn’t been listening along with us to that to jump back in! It’s great to revisit The Walking Dead. We’re really having a blast with it.
