About this listen

Fans of The Walking Dead know it's so much more than a zombie show. It's 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 my current co-host, 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. And the most fun and fulfilling part of all this has absolutely been interacting with you guys and making it a conversation. So write in, send a voice message, and be part of it!

  • Bonus: Jason & Karen on Severance
    Feb 18 2026
    Hey all, here’s a bonus episode for ya. If you’re a fan of the Apple TV series Severance — or if you’ve missing hearing me (Jason) and Karen together — I’m pretty sure you’ll like it. Karen in particular is in top form here :) So what is this? This is the two of us on my other podcast, Wax Episodic, talking Severance S1E1 “Good News About Hell”. What is Severance? It’s a trippy show where for some reason office workers have had their brains bifurcated so that while at work, they retain only work memories, and only outside memories on the outside. It’s a mysterious, mind-bending, amusingly strange, beautifully shot, intelligent thriller about identity, memory, and corporate control, and it’s on Apple TV, and Karen and I will be covering the entire series on Wax Episodic. If you like this episode: Please head on over and subscribe to Wax Episodic, which you can find at waxepisodic.com. Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts. Our coverage of episode 2 will be out in a couple days. Thanks! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Feb 16 2026
    That’s a wrap for season 5! Because of the Daryl show and a few other detours, it took us six months, which was just as long as when we covered it the first time. Lol. Anyway, the season ends with this packed episode that’s a turning point for Alexandria and Rick and the fam, and we were thrilled to have listener Carisa from Portland to talk It out with us. Be sure to listen to the end for some book recommendations.
