TWD S4 is coming up and in preparation, we go back and review the first eight episodes of season three. I was surprised at how much more I got out of the season by binge watching. In particular I think I understand much more clearly what was going on in the Governor's twisted brain. Listen in as I lay it out for you and go over all the bits of foreshadowing and other elements that take on a new significance when viewed as a whole.

And have you checked out the guest and events lists for the upcoming Walker Stalker Convention we've been going on about?

Here are a few highlights:* Norman Reedus* Lauren Cohan* Greg Nicotero* Giancarlo Esposito (Gus from Breaking Bad)* Sarah Wayne Callies* Laurie Holden* A concert from Emily Kinney* A podcast panel with us, The Walker Stalkers, The Talking Dead, and Watching Dead (and we're working on setting up a meetup with you guys too)* Tons more.

Seriously, those are some of the highlights, but there's a lot more going on too. You can find out more and get tickets at walkerstalkercon.com. Karen and I will be hosting many of the Q&A sessions and we would love to see a whole bunch of you out there.

And finally, the 9th Annual Podcast Awards is fast approaching. If you want us to win, you can nominate us in the Entertainment and Best Produced categories at podcastawards.com on Oct 1. We appreciate it!
