Listen now
Description
Welcome to our first regular episode of 2024! We're kicking the year off with a discussion of the (maybe?) zombie show that everyone was talking about in early 2023. This week we talk about our first experiences with the world of The Last of Us, discuss the question of whether or not this is in fact a zombie show, and take a quiz to find out which character we are.

Follow us on Instagram if that's the sort of thing you like to do. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pop-dna-podcast/message
