If you read Kisses & Chaos with any sort of regularity or follow me on facebook or twitter then you have heard me talk (and talk and talk) about the completely kick-ass podcast “We’re Alive: The Zombie Story of Survival.”
Harkening back to the bygone era of radio serials, this is what podcasting is meant to be. The show is not to be missed, with superb production quality, excellent acting and a riveting storyline. I fully encourage you to get your hands on Season 1 & 2…get all caught up…and then subscribe to the series so you can catch Season 3, which is currently in progress. You can thank me later in the form of shoes, handmade postcards or interpretive dance.
So what does any of this have to do with today’s guest, Kc Wayland?
Kc Wayland is the co-creator, director, writer, sound designer, & show-runner of “We’re Alive” and to say I’m pleased as punch to have him as this week’s “The Same 7” is an understatement. If you think the only reason he’s rad (yes I still use the word “rad.” Don’t judge me.) is because of “We’re Alive” then I suggest you check out his biography on their website. It’s pretty damn impressive. He’s pretty damn impressive. So it is with a crazy-huge grin that I now present to you…
The Same 7 with Kc Wayland
1) In 10 words or less tell us what makes you so freakin’ awesome…and don’t be modest. Let ‘er rip.
I am job.
Is that too much?
But seriously. Um…..
“I love what I do and I do what I love.” DAMMIT! 11 words.
“Love what I do and I do what I love.” There.
2) Did you (or do you currently) have an imaginary friend(s)? If so, tell us a little about him/her/it/them.
They wouldn’t like that…
3) Do you believe in ghosts?
Not really, but then again I haven’t ruled out the possibility. I follow a lot of the scientific perspective of provable by repeatable results of testing, so I’m more of a skeptic.
4) What one thing scares the ever-loving crap out of you more than anything else in the whole wide world?
The separation of people from their body parts. The scene from Saving Private Ryan where the guy picks up his arm and carries it is burned into my head forever. Uggg.
5) Sunrise, sunset, new moon or full moon?
Twilight… NO! Full Moon.
6) If you had to live the rest of your life inside one book or movie, what would it be and why?
Harry Potter. I love the idea of limitless power through knowledge. The more you know, the better the wizard. Maybe I should have become a lawyer? Naw- don’t have the stomach for it.
7) It’s the zombie apocalypse. The person you love more than anyone, anywhere, ever has been bitten by one of the walking dead. It is inevitable that they will turn into a flesh-eating monster. What do you do?
Walk away. Don’t kill them, and don’t have knowledge of what happens to them. The degree of separation would be easier to deal with. The unknown is sometimes more comforting.
Here’s a little space that’s all yours. Do with it what you will. Draw a picture, tell us about a current project, pet peeve, new product, write a haiku about unicorns, recount your bigfoot sighting…you get the idea. It’s all yours.
Hmmm… Ok, here’s a saying I came up with in the middle of the night. Might take me a second to remember it…
OK.
“Things do happen for a reason. It’s called ’causes’ .”
And then he walked back into his corner.
Thanks so much, Kc, for coming out to play. And by the way – the other day someone told me “everything happens for a reason…” and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Don’t forget to check out “We’re Alive,” ladies and gents. You’ll love it. X my heart.
Kisses & Chaos,
Alli Woods Frederick
