First it’s a fun and in-depth interview with TWD showrunner Angela Kang, who has brilliantly reinvigorated the show over the last couple seasons. Then Karen, Lucy, and I go over some of our favorite memories and highlights of doing the podcast over the years. And finally, some sweet and heartfelt messages from a bunch of you.

390: "What We Become" (S10E13)
24/03/2020 Duration: 01h32minAh Michonne, we're going to miss you. What a fierce character. I'll never forget when she stabbed out the Governor's eye with a shard of glass. She always had a sense about who to trust and who not to. And she was such a badass with that katana. We had some pretty mixed feelings about Michonne's sendoff episode, and frankly we think she deserved better, but the episode had some cool things about it, and we have a feeling we might be seeing more of Michonne's katana work sometime down the road. Ever hopeful. This podcast is made possible by listeners like you (and you too) who have supported us at patreon.com/jasonandkaren.

383: Top 10 Games of the Decade + The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
11/01/2020 Duration: 02h04minSome amazing video games came out in the 2010s and Ben Beck of Next Level Radio is with me to count down our top 10 games of the decade -- plus games we're curious about but didn't get around to playing, and games we're looking forward to.

27/12/2019 Duration: 01h41minAnd now for something completely different: This episode I'm so very pleased to talk with two amazing friends who I've met through my involvement with TWD, Walking Dead novelist Jay Bonansinga and Clementine voice actress Melissa Hutchison! We talk all about how being involved in the world of The Walking Dead has impacted our lives, among other things. And to continue the theme of being a fan of TWD and then getting involved to a greater level, I talk with author Neil Cohen about his book Business Is Dead: Resurrecting Entrepreneurship Through the Fan-Focused Venture. You'll learn about a varied group of people who've each turned their Walking-Dead-related hobby or passion into a business. Plus we talk a little about Neil's zombie novel trilogy inspired by his experience working in government agencies supporting emergency management and counterterrorism.
