Squawking Dead

Follow Kirsten on Twitter: @KirstenAcuna Thanks to our special guest, #KirstenAcuna (head TWD analyst and contributor for Insider.com), we were able to pulverize this episode way beyond our expectations: which also means we broke our rule about trying to keep the stream in and around the 1-hour mark

You've had questions, we have answers: @wtfnyssa grills Dave to get clarification on SO MANY THINGS that SQUAWKING DEAD has been up to, as well as take your questions via Live Chat Keep in mind, even though Dave answers the questions, he expounds greatly on them, talking about his personal life, career history, experience in podcasting, and much, much more! Questions: Why are you pre-recording videos, just to premiere them live? Ko-fi-backers? ...is that like Subscribers? But why? Can anyone be a Guest-Host without Paying? Do the Regular Hosts pay? Do Hosts need to be Ko-fi-backers? Where does the money go? Why even ask for money? (Part 1) How many Ko-fi-backers do you have, so far? Lois: I want to know if it's cold there Päivi: Why [podcast about] The Walking Dead? Linda: Do you think Alpha has doubts about Negan's intentions? Darren: If you could have any 3 people, past or present, on the podcast, who would they be? Darren: What's the most dumb injury you've ever had? Darren: If you could bring back anyone

The Walking Dead PEELS OUT into the action/suspense portion of the season, featuring parallels between #DarylDixon & #BetaTWD, #AlphaTWD's & Daryl's painful past but wildly divergent outcomes, and #JudithGrimes pulling it all together in her conversation with #GammaTWD, "You met the wrong person, first."

We had a very wacky time with @Nightmareon3lm (the only soul brave enough to take up our offer for ☕#Kofi-backers to help host the latest podcast), along with Chris from BMNY DeadCast, and Rachael (AKA @Cosmomom09). Our pre & post-show is patent insanity: I dunno WHAT happened in the pre-show, but I do remember our post-show, watching YouTube videos of 17-year-olds attemtping to use a rotary phone, which was hilarious, as well as the G.I. Joe over-dubbed PSAs - classic YouTube hilariousness that made us cry with laughter.
