If you’re someone who likes zombie apocalypse or dystopian books, and you want to listen to an exciting story through a podcast, you should check out We’re Alive. A new episode comes out every week, unless the program announces otherwise. Each episode is 20-30 minutes long. So far there are 42 chapters, and each chapter has three episodes. I started out at chapter 1, and I caught up in a month. You can take your time if you start from the beginning. You should start from the beginning or the story won’t make any sense at all.
We’re Alive is set in Los Angeles in a near-dystopia when the zombie apocalypse starts. At the beginning of the podcast, the main character is Michael Cross, but later on in the story there are multiple perspectives offered by a variety of characters. These characters find each other at the first safe haven, the Tower.
Michael is an Army Reserve soldier, who had just gotten back from a combat mission in Afghanistan and was attending college when the zombies struck. To survive, people band together and created safe havens to outlast and outsmart the zombies in the zombie apocalypse.
The podcast has really nice flow. I’m thinking of downloading the whole series again, to save it so I can listen to this again in the future — but hopefully not during a zombie outbreak. The podcast has high quality actors and sound effects, which rival movies and TV shows.
