We’ve done it! Episode 100! Thank you to all our production cast and crew and our dedicated fans over the years. If you think about it, each episode takes about a week to make. There’s 52 weeks in a year. That’s like working two years straight! It’s been a long road, and as we approach the Season 3 finale in the next two months, it’s nearing the end. Don’t fret! We have one more season to go and other things to keep you occupied.
SO, you’re asking, what are those 4 things? Let’s just get down to it.
1. Obviously #1 on this list is the new website; You are using it now to read this article!
Special thanks goes to Jason Stone and his continued efforts to bring our old site into a whole new level. Our old site, however stylish, was very limited in what was possible technologically. The site was made and maintained with iWeb. There’s so many things wrong with that, I can’t even start. So, now we can bring you even more content and information easier, and everyone will like that!
2. New merchandise! The new shirts, posters, composition books are all now in the online store. Get them now before they run out!
3. The We’re Alive iOS app is here!
Download episodes the moment they are available. No more waiting for iTunes to update their database. The minute we hit publish, that episode is in your hands. We manage the content and organization. It is standalone, but it automatically syncs with your Podcast library from iTunes on your phone. Meaning, you already have episodes downloaded, no need to download them again. The app detects it. OR, say you want to delete an old episode to free up space, you can do that too from within the app. What if you don’t have much space? Stream episodes from within the App! This service works great as long as you have a good connection. If you’re moving around we suggest doing the download function. Mobile versions of the Forum, Chatroom, and Wiki at the push of a button. And this is just the beginning! New features and updates to come! Special thanks to Chris Toliver for making this come to life. We started this project over a year ago, and now it’s ready!
4. Last, but not least, there’s a book in the works!
It’s been a long road for this project as well, but I’m working closely with Bowie Ibarra on a new mini-novel tentatively titled “We’re Alive: Burt’s Story”. What is it? It goes into the backstory and what happened to Burt before we meet him in the series. That’s all I can divulge for now, but here’s a picture from one of the other books Bowie has done:
Aren’t those great? But wait, there’s EVEN MORE! Why stop at 4!
12 Million downloads! That’s right. We haven’t updated our report in a while, but the infection is spreading!!!! It’s all because you keep telling your friends and other. We couldn’t do this without you! Thanks again for all your help.
Oh, and one more thing…
FIRST! I cannot wait for that mini novel. I would love more back stories on the characters we love and hate. I am sure we might get to see that down the road. Congrats of #100! Been listening since a month before season 2 began. Better than any audio book I have listend too.
Yeah, the mini-novel is a must have …
There used to be more comments here.
Indeed there were. There was a minor bug but all fixed now, although as a result a couple of comments were lost :(
Which is kind of cool. The page was not properly up when the first comments showed up … That’s the price early birds have to pay … *sniff*
I told you all it was Burt in ladies underwear – but ya didn’t believe me!
WHY dintcha believe me?! O_o
I’m sorry. I’m soooo sorry … Will you ever forgive me, er, us?
Congratulations on 100 Episodes. This is one of the greatest podcast ever!!! I can’t wait for the mini-novel. I hope there is a audiobook of it. Congrats again.
Cool! Definitely will be waiting for that novel since Burt is my favorite! Good job to the cast and everyone affiliated with the show.
LOVE THE SHOW! It is so addictive! I find myself thinking, it takes to long for the next, but worth the wait! You guys have the best story, characters, and realism(real person choices) I was curious/worried about the comment about ‘nearing the end’ was that only reffering to season 3 or the entire show? Please, do us a favor and NEVER end it!
Well, as for me, blind fan of the show this novel will be not really usable, sadly, so hope to see this in the identical form as the main story. This burt’s story could be done like we’re alive, and in that form, it will blow away everything!
Consider it guys!
PS: and stupid captcha to post commend, as i hate it.
