Greetings, undead masses! Johnathon reporting in to unveil the latest episode of the Inevitable Zombie Podcast…

Now there are several different ways to get the Inevitable Zombie Podcast.

• You can subscribe by following our RSS feed. Just follow this link to get the feed.
• You can also now subscribe through iTunes. Just click here to make the podcast ipod friendly.
• Finally, you can just download the file directly from us by clicking here.
  

Each week Cory Casciato and I will go into the world of the walkers to tell you the latest important zombie news. We’ll wrap up the previous episode of The Walking Dead, discuss upcoming movies and games, comics, and probably break off on a tangent or two about other interesting news as well. So without further ado… Episode Zero has arrived.

Now if you’re not looking to get spoiled on The Walking Dead, or you haven’t read the comics, you’re going to want to skip minutes 20 through 27 of the podcast. Everything before and after that is safe, although we do spoil the pilot episode itself if you haven’t seen it (if you haven’t seen it, just head over to AMC.com and watch it online before you listen to this).

If you’re wondering why we’re calling this episode zero, it’s because it’s a trial run. We’re still getting the recording specifics together, I’m designing the logo for Itunes and creating the feed, we’re finding our groove, etc. Next week the post should have a little more organized layout with show notes, a graphic header and a link to the feed as well. Itunes should follow a few weeks after that because it takes about a month for a podcast to get approved in their store and be search-able.

One final note… This podcast isn’t too graphic, but it is labeled Not Safe For Work. We drop the f-bomb on more than one occasion and talk about some of the more graphic images of The Walking Dead in show and comic form, as well as some of the other things we discuss. Just a heads up for those of you listening at your work cubes—wear headphones.

Alright, that’s it, go listen to it and let us know what you think in the comments. Tell us what you’d like to see from us on future shows, make fun of my impressions, or ask some questions for next week’s show.
