About The Bright Sessions
The Bright Sessions is a science fiction audio drama that follows a group of therapy patients. But these are not your typical patients - each has a unique supernatural ability. The show documents their struggles and discoveries as well as the motivations of their mysterious therapist, Dr. Bright. The show was created by Lauren Shippen and is a production of Atypical Artists (https://atypicalartists.co). The show has seven seasons, including the previously paywalled Seasons 6 and 7, The AM Archives (https://www.atypicalartists.co/the-am-archives) and The College Tapes (https://www.atypicalartists.co/thecollegetapes). The Bright Sessions has been downloaded tens of millions of times and cemented itself as a classic of audio fiction. Three spin-off novels were published through Tor Teen: The Infinite Noise, A Neon Darkness, and Some Faraway Place. If you enjoy this show, check out the rest of Atypical Artists' shows!
