Alpha 8 - The Audio Drama

About Alpha 8 - The Audio Drama

A desperate alien. A struggling mom. One life-changing swap that flips a family upside down. Alpha 8 is an award-winning sci-fi audio drama that blends E.T., The Princess Diaries, and a Freaky Friday twist into a heartfelt adventure about identity, parenthood, and second chances. When an extraterrestrial being secretly swaps places with a human mother, both worlds spiral into chaos. The alien must learn the meaning of family to save her species from extinction — while the real mom fights to escape, return home, and protect the people she loves. Government secrets, emotional discovery, and unexpected humor collide across two seasons of cinematic storytelling. Rich sound design, original music, and an ensemble cast bring this world to life — immersive from the first episode. Starring Richard Leacock, Jasmine Ashanti, Jessi Mechler, Todd Gajdusek, Cameron Elie, Malachi Josiah White, Sydney Thomas, Sam Gipson, and Jake Farrago. Created by award-winning writer Stephanie Elie. Sound design by Xperience J, original music by Steven Bias, story editing by Jake Farrago. A Bizzie Media Group production.

Introducing: The Madness of Chartrulean

Published 13 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] A war that has threatened progress for both of our people. Then one day, it starts. What exactly happened that day? What exactly happened that day? Chaos. This story chronicles what happened in the aftermath of that day. It is a story about gods, good men, and the devil they call progress. And it is a story about humanity, the witless masses, the brave, and the divine. But at the core, it's the story of a man at war with himself, a man who walked through the gates of perception at the edge of the human experience and the calamity that followed him back in.
