Such a pleasure to talk with Angela Kang, writer of last Sunday's excellently horrific episode, "Infected." She was gracious, open, and lots of fun. Joined by temporary cohost and fantabulous listener Pi'ilani, we asked Angela about a lot of things, including:* How season four is shaping up.* Whether she deliberately strives to write TWD like a classic horror movie.* What's going on with several characters old and new, including Rick, Michonne, Tyreese, Lizzie and Mika.* Whether she would have voted to kill Randall back in season two.* And a lot more.

In this bonus episode we're thrilled to be talking with Greg Nicotero, one of the main creative forces behind The Walking Dead, not to mention a legend in makeup and special effects going back decades. We spoke with him about how he and his team dreams up new zombies, whether he ever gets disturbed by the gore, the possibility of Walking Dead on the big screen, his relationship with zombie progenitor George Romero, what it was like working on the set of Evil Dead II (one of our favorites), and much more.

After seeing World War Z, Karen immediately flew to Israel (coincidence? hmm....), leaving Mr. Blahg and I here all by our lonesomes. Since we both just played and loved Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and Telltale's The Walking Dead: 400 Days, we decided why not podcast about them! We've also got the latest news and, of course, your feedback. And next week is Comic Con and our fan meetup with The Walker Stalkers and some of the actors from TWD.

Here it is, our reaction to the season three finale. As you might imagine, we had mixed feelings, but overall thought it was pretty great. Also, we announce the winner of our Michonne haiku LiveScribe SmartPen contest. Some great haiku from you guys!

It was great to finally talk with Dallas Roberts, a.k.a. our favorite socially awkward zombie apologist/scientist Milton Mamet. You guys know I've been so impressed with Dallas' line readings, and I was excited to hear his approach to dialog. Plus, learn whether it was Milton who torched the biters in the screamer pit, what Dallas thinks Milton's relationship with the Governor was pre-apocalypse and much more. But first, hear my and Karen's reactions to this week's episode. Maybe a little more disagreement between us than usual. One thing's for sure, we'll miss Michael Rooker and we're stoked for next week's episode. Some great calls and emails from you guys this episode too, and more. Finally, we've got 575 ratings and reviews in iTunes (THANK YOU!) and we're going for 600 before next week's season finale. This season we've brought you over twice the number of interviews that we did last season, and we've been working hard to make the podcast great. Wanna help us get to 600? It's easy and it's free.

Join us for this special 100th episode celebration! We had a blast chatting with our guest of honor, Andrew Lincoln, who talked about why he's an actor, his thoughts on the possibility of Rick losing a hand, whether he keeps up with cast mates who've left the show, and much much more. Tons of other surprises this episode, like the debut of both Nathan Melsted's extended version of our intro song and also our new disgustingly gorgeous Walking Dead 'Cast t-shirts (check 'em out!). We talk with designer Marc Manfre about his inspiration for designing these beautiful babies. And finally, we play your generously congratulatory calls and read a few emails between the two of us from years past. Thank you so much, by the way, for listening. This has been such a fun thing to do and we're so happy you guys appreciate it and contribute to it and help us make it what it is. RARRRR!!!!!

We open this episode with a fun interview with Nick Gomez, a.k.a. everyone's favorite convict with an attitude, Tomas. Nick was great to talk with, and it was fun to hear about his experience being thrown into the thick of things, much like Tomas himself. Then we move on to cover this week's 80's-horror-flickesque episode of TWD, "Prey," one of our favorites yet! We also bring you the latest news about TWD, comic talk, creepy whistling, and lots more. Also, if you didn't catch our interview with Norman Reedus last week, check it out. He was great!

In this episode join special guest co-host Gen and I for an incredibly fun and interesting interview with the man himself, Norman Reedus! Our goal was to cover things you haven't heard Norman answer elsewhere. Norman was personable and forthcoming and a pleasure to talk to. Find out what he wants out of life, what inspires him, what it's like for him to play a video game featuring himself, whether he ever thinks about how zombies smell, how he wants Daryl ultimately to go out on the show, and much, much more. P.S. Norman says he'll marry all of you. You're welcome.

Things are heating up, people! Joined this week by our friend and special guest Lisa, we discuss the ins, outs, ups, and downs of "Arrow on the Doorpost."

Why be coy? We loved this episode as much as you all did! One of the best of the series. Listen as we break it down. Note: Unfortunately, the audio in this episode was also somewhat broken down up until about the 43 minute mark. We apologize for the subpar quality and promise to return to our usual crystal clear sound next week! Also in this episode, we finally announce the winner of our zombie sound contest. Many thanks to Danny Miller at 20eyesco.com for donating the prize, a set of beautifully rendered posters of Zombie Shane, Zombie Sophia, and Bicycle Girl. And we have a sponsor for the episode!

So stoked to bring you this interview with Laurie Holden. It's definitely one of my favorites we've ever done. Laurie was incredibly open and genuine, giving her perspective on people's judgments of Andrea's character, among other things. Find out why Andrea didn't kill the Governor when she had the chance (it's not what you think), how Andrea feels about the way she treated Dale after the CDC, how it was to be apart from the main cast for most of season three, and much more.

Yes, we thought this week's episode was on the quieter side. And maybe there wasn't a lot of plot advancement. And we thought it was great! Listen to find out why. Also, lots of great feedback from you guys and the usual Dead 'Cast fare. Thanks for listening, you guys.

We couldn't be more pleased to present this latest interview with the gracious and talented Steven Yeun. It was great talking with him about how Glenn has changed over the course of the series, what his mindset is in recent episodes, just where he took off to just before the Governor attacked the prison, and hints at future projects for Steven, among other things. We got in a few of your questions to, so listen to find out if yours made the cut.

My thanks to Nichole Beattie, writer of this week's Walking Dead episode (S3E10 "Home"), for another great interview. Listen and find out how she writes the action scenes in TWD, what exactly is going on between Glenn and Maggie, how things are coming along with the writing of season four, whether Axel was in fact a psycho killer (!) and more.  As always, if you'd like to give us a call, you can call us at (650) 485-DEAD, or you can email us at brains@walkingdeadcast.com.
