Happy 2026! To kick off the year, we’re bringing you our very first feed swap of the season.

Alpha 8 Update

We’ve officially wrapped our festival run for Season 1! A massive thank you to the team that helped bring this world to life. We are currently in the home stretch of writing Season 2 and are actively looking for brand sponsors.

Today’s Featured Show: UN-TITLED

Today, we’re sharing a fellow scripted comedy that is perfect for your post-holiday binge. UN-TITLED is a "Middle Ages midlife crisis" story following Failyn, a squire who is quite literally "too olde" for this.

While Failyn schemes for his long-awaited knighthood, he has to contend with an annoying wunderkind on the rise—the future King Arthur.

• The Vibe: A comedic twist on the Sword in the Stone myth. Think the bitterness of Amadeus or Richard III meets the dry humor of The Office and Blackadder.
• The Commitment: Season 1 is just 6 episodes plus character shorts (about 3 hours total). It’s the perfect length for a weekend road trip or—if you’re like us—finally packing up those holiday decorations.

Support the Show: The UN-TITLED team is gearing up for Season 2 and looking to grow their community! If you enjoy this episode:

Malachi White voices Jackson in Alpha 8. I love having two boys in the series who are the same age but have different personalities. Jackson is the "cool" kid who loves sports and video games (as long as they are sports-related). He jokes around a lot with Daniel, but at the end of the day, he will always have his back.

Daniel's discovery forces Alpha 8 to reveal who she truly is — and why she chose his family.

Armed with evidence from the emergency test, Daniel convinces his siblings that their mother has been replaced. But their escape attempt collapses when Alpha 8 reaches them first, leading to a stunning confession about her origin and mission on Earth. Bound by necessity, the children agree to a fragile partnership as they set out to save the real Larson.

At NARB, Dr. Stevens uncovers a chilling truth buried in classified files: if Alpha 8 survived the crash, others might have too. As multiple threats close in, the Peterson children are left with one question — are they joining forces with the only ally they have, or the first wave of something far more dangerous?

Alpha 8 — a sci-fi audio drama about first contact, family, and what it means to be human. Season 2 coming soon.

Alpha 8 tries harder than ever to be the perfect mother — but the closer she comes, the more everything falls apart.

Balancing a demanding job, family expectations, and her own confusion about human emotions, Alpha 8's behavior veers from endearing to unsettling. Daniel, driven by fear and loyalty, quietly gathers clues — testing the boundaries of the person who looks like his mother but doesn't feel like her. A pivotal moment at home finally confirms his suspicions, changing his relationship to Alpha 8 and his step-siblings forever.

An innocent birthday cake becomes the chilling clue that exposes the imposter living inside the Peterson home.

As a potential whistleblower threatens to reveal classified UAP secrets, NARB goes into lockdown — putting immense pressure on Ramirez and Dr. Stevens to contain the fallout. At home, "Larson's" sudden surge in productivity begins to win over two of the children. But Daniel's suspicions continue to grow.

A quiet birthday celebration turns pivotal when one small detail about the cake reveals something terrifyingly wrong. Daniel's discovery shatters his perception of his mother and forces the family into a danger they never imagined.

Daniel can talk anyone's ear off about science and extraterrestrial beings. But he also has a sweet spot for rap music. He'll often pop in his earbuds and sing along to his favorite songs. Flip It by Trae Haze is at the top of that list.

One mother is missing. Another is an imposter. The Peterson family's reality begins to fracture.

An intruder has taken Larson's place in the home, perfectly mirroring her routines while subtly pushing the limits of human behavior. Some family members are amused by the odd quirks. Others sense something is deeply wrong. Meanwhile, the real Larson endures testing inside NARB as she searches for a way out. With Michael and Samantha still detained and the truth about the swap concealed, the entire family stands on the brink of discovering the truth.

At home, Larson tries to shield her family from the strain of Michael's disappearance — unaware that a shapeshifting presence is watching her every move. When the truth emerges, nothing about their lives will ever be the same.

Michael can't shake the feeling that Alpha 8 is more than a threat.

Cameron Elie brings Daniel to life in Alpha 8. Fun fact: the entire concept of Alpha 8 actually began with Daniel—or more accurately, with Cameron, the actor behind him. I'm thrilled that Cameron could join our cast for this audio drama, and it’s been great to see him reconnect with his on-set dad from another show. Thank you, Cameron, for being an essential part of Alpha 8!

This week, we're handing the mic over for a feed swap with The Madness of Chartrulean — a character-driven sci-fi epic for fans of Dune, Foundation, and Game of Thrones.

A fallen messiah races to stop his own technology from dooming the world he meant to save — while facing alien invaders, political foes, and the collapse of his own mind.

The Jhardeho Order named him messiah. He defected anyway. When Chartrulean chose progress over piety, he split the world in two — and now he's haunted by the cost of that choice, fighting to reconcile with the gods and kings he angered before the madness he created consumes him.

Blending political drama, Shakespearean tragedy, and mythic futurism, The Madness of Chartrulean features a cast of 50+ voice actors from five continents, cinematic Dolby Atmos sound design, and an unflinching portrayal of mental illness — including CPTSD, anxiety, and DID. Written from a woman's perspective, the show is part of a growing wave of creators championing women and neurodivergent voices in sci-fi and fantasy.

Vol. 1 is available now — 13 episodes, 8+ hours of story, plus bonus content. Vol. 2 is actively releasing.

🎧 Listen to more: wherever you find podcasts

A quick Alpha 8 update: Season 2 recording sessions are officially on the calendar, kicking off August 24th. More to come soon — stay tuned.
