On this episode of Pop Life, Host Kendall Philipps looks back on the history of The Walking Dead with Professor Kyle Bishop. Bishop is a professor of English Southern Utah University and teaches film and screen studies, American literature and culture, fantasy/horror literature, and English composition. 

Kendall and Kyle, discuss the original comics written by Robert Kirkman, early reactions to the show, and how it sustained an 11 season run of success.
