While we work hard on Season Two of Alpha 8 (coming early next year!), we wanted to share something special with you. Today’s episode features a feed drop from a sci-fi audio drama we think Alpha 8 fans will love — Give Me Away, created by acclaimed writer Mac Rogers (The Message, LifeAfter, Steal the Stars).

About the Episode

In Give Me Away, a mysterious UAP crash-lands on Earth, carrying extraterrestrials desperate to escape their own trauma. The only way for them to survive? Human volunteers who agree to share their minds. If Alpha 8 had a cousin, this might be it — think Venom meets the heartfelt comedy of All of Me, all set within a grounded, contemporary world. Now is the perfect moment to dive in: Seasons 1 and 2 are available to binge, and Season 3 is on the way. In this drop, we’re sharing Episode 5 from Season 1.

About the Series

After Dr. Anthony Harbor's experiment at MIT goes horribly wrong, destroying his reputation and costing him his life. His estranged sons, Ethan and Milo, team up to unravel the truth behind their father’s mysterious work. What follows is a globe-trotting journey that weaves together science fiction and spirituality, as these brothers face off against billionaires, the US government, and each other, all to save their father and Earth itself.
