Featured Article: 15 Poignant and Postapocalyptic Listens for Fans of The Last of Us


Naughty Dog's postapocalyptic video game The Last of Us is a masterclass in storytelling. Celebrated for its complex ruminations on grief, morality, and redemption, this unique take on dystopia has maintained a steady fanbase since 2013. That following is set to grow following the debut of HBO's television adaptation—a breakout hit that sacrifices none of the emotional stakes or brilliant character work of its source material.

Didn’t play the games but know of it and seen some gameplay over the years. What a cool concept for a game and show! Also love Craig’s creative mind. Everything he has done if the last couple of years has been great! Keep it up and can’t wait for season 2!

So good! Can’t wait for season 2!

This has to be the perfect blend of bridging gaps between those who played the game and those who didn’t and for all those watching the show. Felt like listening to old friends. This is a great podcast / can’t wait for Season 2!

Perfect blend

I have loved his game wholeheartedly since it’s release in 2013 and I was nervous but excited about the TV show. I’m impressed to say the least. So far episode two was released this week and I’ve listened to both podcasts. The podcasts are for people who played the game and have questions about how and why some things were changed for the tv show. It shed a lot of light on who is directing and why they directed things the way they did. The podcast is very informative and I will continue to listen each week. This is an exciting year for The Last Of Us fans!!!!!

Lover of the Game since 2013

This is a great addition to the TV series The Last of Us, and to a lesser degree the video games. Love the insight from the director on their thought process.

Great Addition!
