The Last of Pods: A ComicBook.com and ET Podcast for The Last of Us Coming Soon
On January 15th, ComicBook.com and ET will join forces for a crossover podcast, The Last of Pods. The Last of Pods will release new episodes every Sunday, centered around HBO's The Last of Us, taking a deep dive into new episodes of the TV show based on the popular video game. The Last of Pods will be broadcast on ComicBook.com's YouTube channel and made available on all major podcast platforms, with insights, reactions, theories, and exclusive interviews being featured throughout the first season of The Last of Us.
The Last of Pods aims to cultivate an enthusiastic audience of The Last of Us fans, both those who have played the popular video game and those going into the new TV series with no knowledge of the source material. Episodes will regularly compare events of the series to how they happened in the games, discuss the making of new episodes with cast, writers, and directors, and save spoilers for what happens next (according to the games) for the end of each episode! Clear warnings will be given as a means to keep those ears immune to any spoiler-y bites! The first two-thirds of each episode is a safe zone for those unfamiliar with Ellie and Joel's video game journeys!
Ash Crossan is a content producer and digital correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. She's hosted some of the biggest stages in fandom, from The Mandalorian during Star Wars Celebration to Marvel's coveted Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. She's now best friends with Grogu, the two text on a regular basis. "After playing (crying) through The Last Of Us multiple times, I'm ready to get hurt again," Crossan said. "I'm excited for The Last of Pods to become a community for fans of the series to share thoughts, feelings, and theories regarding each episode. Working alongside Brandon has been on my wishlist for quite some time, and now, it's kismet that we get to come together through our mutual love of The Last of Us and get to call it work."
Brandon Davis is a host and producer for ComicBook.com. Prior to The Last of Pods and Phase Zero, Davis hosted and produced Game Over: An Evening With Joe Russo to follow the release of Avengers: Endgame and ComicBook.com's The Walking Dead recap series After the Dead, interviewing The Walking Dead stars and offering exclusive insights for the zombie series. A longtime fan of The Last of Us, Davis said, "The Last of Pods is a surreal thing to be hosting because I remember playing the first game like it was yesterday. I remember renting it and playing through it as fast as possible so I could start over again! Now, I get to work with Ash on this podcast and be part of the weekly conversation for a show which I've been waiting for and couldn't be more excited about. I hope we build an awesome and welcoming community of fans who want to have fun talking and learning about The Last of Us on The Last of Pods, even if that means our hearts all break together when we get to Part II."
