Episode 64 - Do Something With Your Life

Marty returns from the coughing depths to join KMO and Olga to revel in the hijinks of living and not so living men in episode 11 of season 4 of the Walking Dead, called "Claimed." Join us as we wonder aloud, how low can that mattress sink? And, will we ever see Glenn smile again? And, how smart IS Doctor Mullet? Please let us know what you thought of the show by sending email to mail@z-realm.com or by posting a message on our Facebook page.

Episode 63 - Enter Abraham


A post-episode dissection of this week's The Walking Dead episode, Inmates, will have to wait until next week. Marty is out sick, and so in this episode of The Z-Realm Podcast, KMO shares part of a conversation that he recorded with Joe Snuffy, the author of Suburban Survival: Preparing For Socio-Economic Collapse. Joe describes his interest in both the zombie apocalypse narrative and survival preparedness. He describes how zombie stories like The Walking Dead would be different if they followed the experiences of a coordinated group of trained survivalists rather than an ad hoc group of survivors thrown together by circumstance. Later in the episode, KMO and Olga talk about their underwhelming first impression of the tv version of Abraham compared to his Thor-like comic book incarnation.

Episode 62 - 120 Ounces

The Z-Realm Podcast has returned from a long winter slumber to herald in the mid-season premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead.  Picking up directly where they left off several months ago, we find Michonne leaving the decimated prison, along with two fresh "pets".  We also follow the severely wounded Rick and the VERY teenaged Carl as they make their way together, looking for supplies and shelter.  With some very interesting psychological elements, this episode really shone and bodes well for the rest of season 4.  The conversation meanders a bit towards the end and incorporates a variety of disparate subjects.  Tune in to see what we talk about, just make sure you have all your forms properly filled out and stamped in the appropriate areas!
