Audio Undead: World War Z Podcast Pt. 1 - ‘New Beginnings’

Zombies are the new black, due to the success of AMC’s kick-ass series ‘The Walking Dead’. The genre, however, has been percolating as a rising medium for years. The audio podcast Max Brooks’ wonderful zombie book ‘World War Z’ is a great introduction to the genre. The podcast - far more akin to an audio play - has been available for free since the book’s release in 2006 and features several chapters of the book. The audiobook and podcast is read by a recognizable cast of characters including Alan Alda, Henry Rollins, Mark Hammill.

Podcast Description from iTunes:

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the world, from decimated cities to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. These podcasts are excerpted from this invaluable chronicle and capture the haunting immediacy of this epochal event. Available for download from iTunes.com or Audible.com/zombie.
