We're Alive is an award-winning audio drama that follows a group of Survivors in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles now ruled by the "Infected."


It begins with “A Story of Survival” which spans from Chapters 1-48. Our survivors band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat they will have to face.


The adventure continues with:


“Lockdown” - A small group of inmates and prison guards are trapped in the T-block at Twin Towers Jail. They are forced to work together and find a way to escape while the rest of the world ends around them.


“Goldrush” - Set 17 years after the main events of “A Story of Survival”, this is a recollection story that describes the efforts of the four Soldiers as they attempt a side mission to retrieve a suspected stash of gold bullion.


"Scout's Honor" (on it's own feed!) - Adventure Scouts stranded on Catalina Island off the coast of California must use their wits and teamwork to survive during Outbreak.


And “We’re Alive: Descendants," which follows the children of the Survivors as they navigate a dangerous new world.


The story of survival continues; the fight is not over.


18 years after the Outbreak, the world is starting to re-organize and rebuild, but many different forms of humanity are still struggling to survive in the aftermath. Nicholas Tink grew up in the shadow of his father- the late, great, Saul Tink. Little does he know that deep in the places where infected dwell, another descendant lies waiting.

    It’s like a comfort food thing for me!
    I revisit the story when the real world is too much to handle. It’s like comfort food for the mind.
  • MRHidinger
    Nick is ANNOYING!
    You’re not going to find a better fictional story. The only thing that is so annoying is Nicks whiny voice. His little whiny voice is like nails on a chalk board!
  • 226bh
    Great Podcast
    Please get rid of Nick!

    The Best!
    We’re alive best show ever so sad it’s ending😑 But thanks for a great show. Actors are the best! Writing is the best
  • Phishattack
    Just listen, you won’t find a better story
    I listen to a lot of fictional podcasts, this is my all time favorite. This is an exceptional story, fantastic actors and great production/audio quality. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it.
  • Thrash907
    Listener since day one
    THE BAD -Nick is the most insufferable character out of all series. Such an unlikable character which is a bummer considering Saul was so awesome. The voice actor has such a weird inflection; like he’s trying so hard and it comes off ingenuine. -The number of ads in the original series is absolutely insane and makes it into an impossible listen. THE GOOD I love the original series. Been listening since the original series was being released weekly and there weren’t many other audio dramas.
  • LilCootie
    Spoiler warning
    Angel Angel what?!?? No way you killed… off 😭I’m so stoked for this new series. Thank you so much !!!!❤️❤️
  • Lukapotamus
    The best!!
    The best podcast ever let me addd this is the best podcasts I have ever ran across I mean Q code got some good stuff but I’ve been jamming We’re Alive since 2016 and never never disappointed what so ever And it will be one u re-listen to for the rest of your life I know they said the second season of descendants will be the last but I sure hope not!!! Love you guys PS I would love to be a voice actor
  • TheyCallMe.E
    WE’RE ARE SO BACK!!!!
    That’s the review! Finally!!!!
  • Tj6643
    Can’t listen anymore
    The original series was fantastic. So was Goldrush. Scouts Honor was terrible. Descendants is okay but I cannot stand Nicks voice. He sounds just like his ignorant father. I’m done with the series.
  • Obi2018
    What a Masterpiece!
    I started We’re Alive: A Story of Survival over two year ago. I never finished and recently decided to start back where I left off and the show has not disappointed!! I’ve listened through A Story of Survival, Lockdown, and now am currently going through Goldrush. And let me tell you, after two installments of drama, tensions, and survival. This hilarious installment has been a nice break before starting Descendants! Multiple times per day does this have me bursting with laughter. It’s a good thing I work alone, otherwise I’d catch a few weird stares. Highly recommend this series. I’m glad I came back to finish. And delightfully found out that Descendants is a proper sequel. Can’t wait to start listening to that one. Better than I could’ve imagined when I started listening a few years ago. Edit: 3rd time through and every major part still hits as hard as it did the 1st time. Nothing compares to this story.
  • DKGJ123
    Favorite Podcast Until Season 4
    I love this podcast, and it is the best thing I’ve ever listened to right up until season 4 where I’ve stopped listening and won’t resume. Left me feeling like there was all this herculean effort into getting to a resolution that it immediately turned into a disappointment I feel no investment for. I would encourage giving it a listen, many people seem to have different feelings than me and you may too, and the beginning of the podcast is truly exceptional, but for me I’ve lost interest due to some choices I strongly disagree with.
  • The Food and Yoga Chick
    Camp fan fiction!
    This is fan-fiction mashup camp at its best- If you like dystopian zombie survival stories, and don't take yourself too seriously, you're in for hours and hours of entertainment.
  • JoeTheVisualNarrator
    Must Listen-Nothing better!
    There is nothing comparable! Beware you will binge! And you will re-listen to the series the rest of your life, guaranteed.
  • El Lobo O66
    Good pod
    Podcast is good.
  • jodymonster
    More ads than content
    Some episodes are literally more ad than story. This podcast could be wonderful fun, but be prepared to hit “skip 30 seconds” five or six times every five or ten minutes.
  • PapaDTay
    Descendants is 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
    Aw come on upgraded and mutated infected with their own ecosystems?? Really?? 😂😂 Now we’re entering Hunger Games meets Zootopia lol. Armored infected let’s be real you guys have to come up with some better “original” material. Lock down and Gold Rush were just fantastic. Lost interest in Descendants. And why did they get so quiet?? Can’t hardly hear anymore with volume maxed out😩😩
  • Gimmie flash
    IMAX for the mind.
    There is absolutely nothing in the world of fictional storytelling on a podcast platform better than the We’re Alive UNIVERSE. Just put your ear buds in and go for the ride. You will laugh, cry, yell, binge the entire universe only to do it all over again and again. It is a true IMAX experience for the mind.
  • Condiserate Raven
    My favorite pod
    I love we’re alive. Any story line they have done has just been great. I have not found anything that comes close to this. I want more episodes so badly, I’m actually considering starting over. Yes, of course there are a lot of ads. Doesn’t matter. The story is worth it. I’m not sure there is anything that can top we’re alive.
  • itsmeNickB.
    Incredible Radio Drama, Fav Zombie Story
    I’ve been listening to the show as it released since around the beginning. This is easily one of the best podcasts made from both a storyline and production value. The original story is engulfing and the spin offs are good in their own merits. It is the most original zombie apocalypse story I’ve experienced and I can’t recommend it enough! Descendants was a great progression of the show and honestly felt so real. KC has mastered writing the protagonist that you want to strangle but are cheering for. Nick is the worst lol needs some therapy. Ads are annoying but they’re exactly 3-3.5 mins long so not exactly hard to deal with….
  • Fatpanda15
    A Great Zombie Story
    This is up there with Night of the Living Dead & The Walking Dead!
  • yo stepmomma
    Netflix PLEASE
    This would make an amazing show! It could go further than Walking Dead!!! Please Netflix 😩
  • 🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸
    Great show
    Went to the beach and finished all of it in a week lol (including all there spinoffs)
  • caught u lacking 😬
    hear me out
    so i LOVE this podcast and it’s understandable that ppl dont like the ads but think of it from their pov. they first of all need money, the other reason is probably because ppl can get scared with this show and sometimes need a break from listening so they put in ads and space them out in the show to sort of help ppl decompress for a second. thats just my opinion and what i think they do it for. idk anyways thanks for reading for a sec🤗😉
  • alexrenee82
    Must listen
    In the first few episodes, the voice actors sound uncomfortable BUT quickly find their rhythm and the show gets you into a chokehold. I’ve listened through this podcast (and scouts honor) at least 4 times. It is my favorite apocalyptic podcast. Can’t wait for the final installment!
  • ke151913
    Omg can’t stop crying
    Chapter 44 y’all omg this podcast is sooo dope .. love listing while driving.
  • My sreies
    Best series
    I don’t listen to a lot of podcast series. I have to say this is the best one. I’ve heard yet. It’s so good. I’ve listened to the whole series 3 times from the beginning to the finale. Can’t wait for the next one. Keep up the good work. PS I love Bert
  • Jayrich44
    BEST PODCAST EVER
    I’m on my 3rd play through. I love listening when doing my art. This is hands down the best made podcast. You can close your eyes and feel like your there. The magnus archive is my second favorite. It’s like the same. The amount of detail and sound behind this is mind blowing. It’s so amazing. I’m hoping they finish decedents soon because I’ve been waiting on the new season for 2 years. If you like the walking dead you’ll love this. IF YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO THE ADDS LISTEN ON AMAZON MUSIC THERE IS NO ADDS. Even though you can skip them on here I’m listening it for the 3rd time on Amazon with no ads and it’s so much better. My second play through I listened on here but they used to have an episode at the end of the season that had all the episodes for that season back to back with no ads. But Amazon prime is the best way to listen now. I dont know about YouTube.
  • gpsmonkey
    So. Many. Ads.
    I’ve listened to the first several episodes and there are just advertisements everywhere. Like half the show is ads.
  • Pantyboy4mommys
    I like this podcast a lot it’s well produced
    But the mint mobile ads are borderline harassing and are so annoying that it’s a turn off to hear I’d rather hear Fran dreshsr have sex with Gilbert godfried
  • Qotsa-st.vincent
    Best fiction podcast ever
    This is my absolute favorite podcast. The cast is amazing, the characters are fantastic - it’s so well written. There are many fiction podcasts that are great, but there are never enough episodes. We’re Alive is the best of the best and you can listen for hours. I did not want it to end.
  • Rolth
    Insane amount of ads
    10+ minutes of ads for a show that is typically sub-20 minutes? Oh god no.
  • rionracing
    One and only
    This audio drama was the first audio drama I’ve ever listened to. I explained it to my family and friends as a movie without video. The bad thing is multiple people have said they imagine it the same as me. I couldn’t imagine a series on tv. I’d be so invested and pay a membership.
  • Suckmysnorkle
    I love this show but the ads…
    The show is amazing but the advertisements are LOUD!!!!! Wish my ears didn’t have to bleed every time you needed a dollar lol.
  • Burnsglt
    Love and sadness
    I love love love love this show. I am sad that it is coming to an end though but I can respect their decision, begrudgingly. This show has brought me so much joy, entertainment, tears, anger(because they write characters who piss you off so well) and peace. I always thought it would be cool if they did a spin off of other locations, cities/towns, states and or countries. I will still do my bi-monthly listen of every story even after they’ve finished the storyline. You get so invested into the characters that you feel their happiness, pain, sorrow, and deaths. Even though I’ve listened to it multiple times and I know when things are going to happen I still get sad, I still cry and still get angry. The best audio drama I have ever heard. I still use We’re Alive as a benchmark for if a show is good or not.

    Best there is. Great cast. Great sound effects. Great music. I love it.
  • LucyLou972
    Nothing Compares!! 10+⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    I haven’t found a podcast yet that I have enjoyed more than We’re Alive!
  • Jimmybones661
    Great podcast
    I’ve been listening to we’re alive since 2009 and I’m still surprised this haven’t been picked up by Amazon Netflix hbo for a series to be adapted it’s literally gold the story and characters everything is so well done my hats off to you Mr. Wayland
  • (Walter55)
    One character is……….
    The actor who plays Nick, is so annoying, his voice is annoying , his character is annoying, delete his character!
  • Person-now-aware
    By far the best audio drama/podcast ever!
    Anything else is a very distant second. We’re Alive: A Story of Survival (4 full seasons) is the best of them, but Lockdown, Goldrush, and Descendants were all fantastic as well. Extremely excited for We’re Alive: Scout’s Honor (releasing March 19th), and they just started a kickstarter to help fund a second and third season of Descendants. So everyone, please pledge if you can. As silly as it may sound, We’re Alive got me through some really tough times, and it’s still a great listen, even the 3rd or 4th time. I’ll support them in any way that I can!
  • Mandoog006
    LITERALLY the best!
    Of all the story telling podcasts, scripted or actual D&D types, hands down my fav. Besides my mainstay info and political podcasts, def my most listened to. Over and over. It’s that good. Descendants is mid. Definitely the worst. Honestly so bad I haven’t finished it. But the rest is AAA+++!!!
  • ccsstarot
    Female characters lack depth and interest
    Most of the active roles in the plot so far are driven by forceful GI joe types. It would be more interesting and less predictable if there was a variety of characters but unfortunately not the case up to this point.
  • CurvyD01
    Best podcast ever!
    Absolutely captivating! One of the best podcast I’ve ever come upon. Love the characters and all of the wonderful work that goes into the entire story.

    ANAZING
    Fantastic binge, I’m currently going through it the first time and it just keeps getting better and better!!
  • M.N.E.
    Awesome show
    They do a very good job of painting a picture for you. There are a few different parts of the show and they do a good job at making each part feel like a completely different experience without being too repetitive.
  • Fredhues
    Make more!!
    I’ve listened to every episode and am hoping more will come! This is literally one of the best quality and best attention grabbing thrilling podcast ever!
  • Tortilla Turtle
    Need an Update!
    Please tell me the show will be back!! I’ve replayed every season three times now.
  • dayumDavonne
    Amazing podcast!
    I am re-listening to this podcast for the fifth time! I love all the characters and honestly, I cry when the bad stuff happens( no spoilers!) I cannot wait for the newest season to begin and I highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking for a great horror podcast! It’s full of twists, turns and you start to view Micheal and his friends as part of your friend group.
  • K8spad3
    Next?!?
    Love this! When’s the next season???
  • PredictableToast
    Perfect Storytelling Podcast
    I don’t like apocalyptic stuff. I avoid things like the walking dead. But this podcast? I love it. I’ve relistened to it at least four or five times. I’ll never be over the first heartbreak of finishing the original season for the first time.
