On this episode of Through the Aftermath, Shawn and Jonathan discuss the hit new AMC series The Walking Dead.

We then read over a few emails and Jonathan shows off his own post-apoc Halloween costume.

On this episode, we talk to Todd Harris of Hi-Rez Studios, developers of the post apoc sci-fi MMO Global Agenda. If you're an MMO or shooter fan, you may have already heard of Global Agenda, but we're here to talk about the lore. Todd tells us all about the unique take on the dystopian, hyper-tech world of Global Agenda and how you don't need burning trashcans and blowing papers to be post-apoc.
