Today we bring you another audio drama to listen to while we work on season two of Alpha 8. And it’s perfect for the Holiday season. I Need a Miracle. 

In this unique series, each episode unfolds like a prayer, revealing stories where some wishes are granted while others have the power to upend the world. 

Each episode of I Need A Miracle is a monologue. A new character every episode. Never the same character twice. Always addressing a plea to a listening deity – which never makes a sound. Each episode, each prayer, is a single desperate moment of a life in another world. A world undeniably shaped by the divine. The voices we hear know an omnipotent being is listening. They know not all pleas are granted – but some are. And they believe in the benevolence of their god. Desperation and calculation, need and desire render each new character in vivid shades. And episode by episode, a miraculous yet tumultuous world is assembled in glimpses. 

Here is the first episode of I Need a Miracle - A Dream Come True.  

Happy listening!

With the holiday season upon us, many of us may feel unprepared for the driving, shopping, flying, eating, or whatever lies ahead this week. Fortunately, there are some fantastic audio dramas to help pass the time.

Today, I want to share one of my personal favorites: Apollyon.

About Apollyon

It’s the 22nd century. The Apollyon virus has torn through the world and wiped out 75% of the population.

30 years after the first wave hit, most of the world is under one government: the International Conglomerate of Research Scientists, a group of politicians and scientists working to keep the world as safe as possible.

Drs. Theo Ramsey and Gabriel Larson work in the American ICRS headquarters in Atlanta. They have developed an effective vaccine for AVS, but the stakes to get the vaccine to the public are higher than either of them ever imagined.

Apollyon was voted best sci-fi podcast at the Minnesota Webfest and best podcast at the Urban Media Makers Festival, both in 2022.

Two seasons plus two mini-series (Patient Zero & Chronicles) are available anywhere you get your podcasts. The third season is in pre-production and will be coming in 2025.

If you enjoy movies like Contagion and Outbreak but need a little more humanity in your storytelling, Apollyon is for you.

The creators of Apollyon are currently funding for Season Three to learn more about the series, visit fund.observerpictures.com.

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!

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.
