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!

683: "What Happened and What's Going On" (TWD S5E9 Rewatch)
What happened is that Tyreese got bitten :( What’s going on is that we have Danielle on to talk about this uniquely artful episode of The Walking Dead. Next up: The Walking Dead S5E9 “Them”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to talk@podcastica.com. Or check out our Wal...
682: "Coda" (TWD S5E8 Rewatch)
Ah Beth, you deserved so much better than this. To help mark this moment, we have special guest Becky Anderson from the What’s On Tonight podcast, who’s favorite TWD character is Beth. Mentioned: Check out Becky’s What’s On Tonight Podcast: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6CYZjrcBK1U7qsQyLwhA...
681: "Crossed" (TWD S5E7 Rewatch)
Is this the beginning of Rick’s “dark era”? Or is he a straight-up hero doing exactly what needs to be done? Whichever it is, it’s a great watch, and I’m happy to have Lucy back with me to talk it out! Mentioned: Jason & Karen, together again! Check out our coverage of Pluribus over on Wax Episodic,...
680: "Consumed" (TWD S5E6 Rewatch)
This is one of those episodes that might seem slow, but rewards a careful viewing. Especially beautiful if you love Carol and Daryl (and don’t we all?). Happy to be joined by Carol/Daryl-lover Robyn for this one. Mentioned: Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
679: "Self Help" (TWD S5E5 Rewatch)
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: Jaso...
BONUS: Pluribus S1E1&2 "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady"
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 wi...
678: "Slabtown" (TWD S5E4 Rewatch)
It’s another one of those episodes that’s maybe not as well loved as most WD eps, right? So I’m glad to have Kelsey guesting with me, who was particularly interested in talking about this one, and we really dug into it. Mentioned: Kelsey’s podcast They Did What?! Breaking Down Wild Documentaries & D...
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 ...
676: "Contrabando" Listener Feedback
Helping me go through your feedback this week is Rebecca, who’s not only a longtime TWD fan and all-around kick-ass person, but she can also help me pronounce all these Spanish titles correctly. ¡Increíble! Next up: TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E7 “Solaz del Mar”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or s...
675: "Contrabando" (TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E6)
This week Daryl’s big caper is foiled by an extra sturdy lock. Lol. But the plot progressed, and everything is teed up for a showdown at El Alcazar in the season finale! Next up: TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E7 “Solaz del Mar”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to talk@podcastic...

673: "Limbo" (TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E5)
A bit of a side quest this week, but a gorgeous, cool, imaginative, action-packed, character-building one that Lucy, Jason, and special guest Dina found a lot to talk about. Next up: Listener feedback for TWD: Daryl Dixon S3E5 “Limbo”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message...
