This podcast is simply wonderful. A must-listen for lovers of TLOU. The hosts of this show, Jack and Andrew, are so delightful and have wonderful banter. The way they delve deep and dissect the game demonstrates how much thought and effort they put into this podcast. From discussing the game's events and how they affect the characters physically, mentally, and in terms of character development. To every detail and items that can be found in the world of TLOU. (Long live Baby Shadow). I BEGGGG yo... more
From the amazing intro and outro music, to the chemistry and humor the hosts have, this show is by far the best TLoU podcast I have found yet! You get lore and story deep dives and the detail is so good you can visualize everything from the game in your head. I found this show after looking for the last cast, they said they had Wayfarin’ strangers so I checked it out and just wow. NICELY DONE! There we go…

We share opinions on cannibalism. Controversial, I know.
For those of you who just need affirmation: Yes, this is the podcast you are looking for and need in your life if you have any interest in TLOU (The Last of Us) at all. I would argue that even those who are not interested would benefit from listening as well (More on that shortly).
Wayfarin' Strangers is an ongoing journey created by superfans of the original IP. Much like my first experience with TLOU, I have spared no amount of my free time with these delightful people. Both Jack and Andrew,... more
Not only is it by far one of the best podcasts that I have ever listened to in general, but it is hands down the best Last Of Us Podcast there is. Great chemistry between the two of you, very informative and just a joy to listen to. Lots of smiles and laughs on my end when I listen to y’all, so I thank you for that . Keep doing your thing. Hope to spend many more hours listening to y’all like I have spent playing both games lol. Take care
Episode 8
5:52-5:57
Just yes. I love everything Jack and Andrew gives us - the details, the love, the side notes, the memes. Love yous guys!
Speaking of “hitting us over the head”… 🤕 I think we get it. You didn’t like that. 20 minutes later we still got it. An hour later,… we still got it.
But otherwise I love hearing y’all talk about my favorite game-turned-show.
I started listening to this on a road trip and I’m so happy I found it.
Wayfarin’ Strangers is a must-listen for any Last of Us fan. The Last of Us games are my favorite pieces of media ever and it’s so refreshing and wonderful to listen to the hosts, Jac and Andrew, discuss them with more insight, thought, nuance, and enthusiasm than any other podcast or YouTube channel that I’ve watched or listened to. Wayfarin’ Strangers is quite definitively the best source for discussions about The Last of Us franchise and I can’t it recommend enough.
Tlou is absolutely my favorite game of all time and I love toying with different theories. Jack hops between playful banter and being overly defensive. Andrew is a fantastic comic relief when the latter occurs. But you can tell he has to lay a sugarcoating foundation before giving an opposing opinion/theory as if to avoid insulting or upsetting jack. Which is just not a fun dynamic to listen to. I’ll maybe listen occasionally, but probably only when there’s big news worth listening to
I spent months trying to find a podcast that not only discussed The Last of Us series, but one that also took a deep dive into the storytelling, lore, game mechanics, and general all around goodness that the team at Naughty Dog provides us with. That’s when I stumbled across Wayfarin’ Strangers (formerly Sundown Promises) in early 2021, a tiny podcast with only one episode! I was hooked from the start, because you get all of that and then some. As a woman who loves video games and The Last of Us... more
These guys have great knowledge and perspectives about our favorite video game story of all time, and they keep the laughs and entertainment high with their great sense of humor and laughter.
Also helps to have a host that sometimes sounds kinda like Ashley Johnsson aka the great Ellie Williams herself.
At least to me she does anyway….
Great work guys and keep it up!
I was pleased to find that there are people out there who love and appreciate these games as much as I do (I know there are many people who love the games, but it’s nice to hear it so well talked about in a podcast). Thank you for putting so much effort into making this podcast, as can be seen in how you two speak of the games and the time you commit to analyzing every aspect of the story. You two work well together and I like how much you make each other laugh. You both add great opinions and i... more
