This month, we've been enjoying After Shock on iHeartRadio which looks at an earthquake that takes place in LA and how people are disconnected as well as finding new living dynamics as they try to continue living after the largest recorded disaster! Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead) is the creator, director, producer and stars in this scripted podcast which is also executive produced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) and David Harbour (Stranger Things). All 3, in addition to more actors interact as they meet preppers, indegenous activists, a utopian cult on the island and more. Even though they survived the initial effects of the after shock, there are unexplained deaths that take place that they can't explain and it seems like there is something much larger at play than just the earthquake itself. The all star cast also includes: Tati Gabrielle (The 100), Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars), Russell Hornsby (Black Mafia Family), Rockmond Dunbar (9-1-1), Tovah Feldshuh (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Bethany Joy Lenz (One Tree Hill), Michael O’Neill (Council of Dads), Austin Amelio (The Walking Dead) and EJ Bonilla (Colony).
