Ben and Alex are back to break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale, Episode 8, “Tenebrae,” as Maggie, Negan and Hershel fight to take back Manhattan and one of the strongest seasons of Dead City yet comes to a close. This week, they dive into the final showdown with Dillard, Hershel stepping into his own as a leader, and the huge emotional payoff to Maggie and Negan's evolving relationship. They also discuss how seemingly every piece of Season 3 ultimately mattered, Maggie finally embracing the kind of leader she can become, and why the finale feels less like the end of a story and more like a soft reboot launching Dead City into something much bigger. Plus, plenty of listener feedback on “Hourglass,” thoughts on Season 3 as a whole, speculation about where Maggie and Negan could go from here, and whether the show may finally be positioning itself to reconnect with the larger Walking Dead universe.

#thewalkingdead #deadcity As Ginny continues to lay unconscious, Negan gathers the Burazi together to "welcome" Brugel's crew to discuss business. Maggie reluctantly agrees to the Dama and Hershel's request. Negan eliminates the direct threat but is thrown off by an attack from an unexpected source. Pearlie, Negan, and Maggie come to a reluctant truce in the face of a tragic event. Maggie makes a hard decision in order to break the cycle of anger in her life.EDITORS' NOTE: *Morales, not Martinez, and I'm not sure why I kept saying "New Republic" instead of "New Babylon". Thinking of the CRM, maybe?

Diana and Renee break down The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, Episode 4, "Found/Lost." Maggie and Luis hit the road in search of supplies, giving us a surprisingly vulnerable and playful side of Maggie, and a connection that may be about more than survival. We talk Maggie and Luis, the fake-out kiss, Negan and Renata's uneasy alliance, Gerald's unusual community, the mysterious Trader, and the earthquake/sinkhole that turns Manhattan upside down. Plus, the Glenn moment that hit Diana hard, Hershel and Negan's surprisingly fun chemistry, and what this episode says about moving forward after loss. And, of course… Eugene's mullet. Yay or nay?

250 Years of the USA: Democracy, Free Speech, and 250 Episodes of The Pediatric LoungeIn this Season 5, Episode 250 recording dated June 30, 2026, The Pediatric Lounge marks the USA's 250th anniversary with a large panel discussing what makes America lovable and what the podcast has meant to them. Guests highlight democracy, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, freedom of speech, dignity, interdependence, and the opportunities America has provided—often through immigrant and military-family experiences (including escapes from Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union, and family journeys from Ireland, Italy, Romania). Several express concern about current political threats to democracy while emphasizing the country's resilience. They credit the podcast for building a pediatric community, modeling honesty beyond “white coats,” connecting colleagues nationwide, and influencing practical work such as screening for suicidal depression and advancing Type 1 diabetes screening and DKA prevention, alongside discussions of independent practice, payment, and practice management.00:00 Welcome to the Lounge00:29 250 Years Theme Setup01:22 Hershel on Democracy03:17 Jon Founding Ideals and Humor04:46 Kerry  on Hope and Impact06:44 Immigration and Humanity10:02 Susan on Pride and Community13:18 Jeanne on Opportunity and Grit16:07 Dan Service Dignity and Advocacy20:33 Igor  Immigrant Gratitude and Practice23:38 George and Herb Reflections28:58 Farewell and CreditsSupport the show
