The 'Cast of Us: A Last of Us & Walking Dead 'Cast

The 'Cast of Us: A Last of Us & Walking Dead 'Cast

The Walking Dead is 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 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.

But honestly? The most fun and fulfilling part of all this has been interacting with you guys and making it a conversation. So write in, send a voice message, and be part of it!

We're Podcastica, and we've been doing episode-by-episode deep dives into great TV for over a decade now. We're fans, and we aim to enhance your experience of these shows.

Hey all, here’s another bonus episode, this time on the crazy new Apple TV show, Pluribus.

677: "Solaz Del Mar" (TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E7)

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 ...
