About this listen

This exciting audio drama is based on an immensely popular podcast that has received hundreds of positive reviews and has had over four million downloads - and counting.

For Army Reserve soldier Michael Cross, the world as he knows it ends in an instant. One minute he’s in college, and the next rioters are roaming the highway around him, breaking into cars and literally tearing people apart. This is the day the dead walk. This is the world of We’re Alive.

The first season features 12 chapters packing performances and sound effects that rival movies and prove that modern audio drama is undead and well. Join our survivors as they band together, struggle to fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that zombies are far from the worst thing in a post apocalyptic Los Angeles, where the rules of human decency no longer apply.

Little food. Little water. Little hope. Who is lucky enough to say "We're Alive"?

Critic Reviews

We’re Alive is a modern rendition of an old-school medium. Maintaining a style that is both retro and contemporary, the radio drama will give horror fans the campy, kitschy style they like, but it also provides a variety of characters and development to keep general audiences engaged…Despite not being able to see the action, the excitement and intensity is still sustained through score and sound design. In some ways, the lack of visuals to accompany the audio creates more suspense. The narrator controls how much the audience knows, slowly teasing out information. Accompanying the drama are sparse moments of comedic relief…Expressing a keen awareness of the zombie subgenre, many of the jokes come from familiar scenarios and tropes of zombie stories.” (Examiner.com)

amazing

this series is amazing. action packed, good story and a plot that continues through with a good, different pay-off from most other zombie stories. characters and acting is great. I listen to books and music all day at work, and the sound in this is fantastic, especially over my car stereo. I would highly recommend listening on a good stereo. the only down side is that on rare occasions I couldn't hear some of the dialogue, like when they are talking over a radio, but this was very rare and didn't really affect my experience. all in all, this is a fantastic series, with a fantastic story.

. High quality thrilling production.

Listen to this. You won't regret it.

Look man... I read and listen to alot of trashy zombie books and this is NOT one of them. The story is gripping and unusual. The characters feel real and imperfect lacking the cleshay hero complex so many from this genre gift their protagonists.
The voice acting is supurb and feels very movie like including the sound effects that add a chilling and explosive atmosphere.

glad i kept to it

it was good, i struggled at first. i was told to listen to this after listening to impact winter. Im not big on stories about zombies but it was pretty good. I don't know if I'd continue on with the series but if i had nothing else capturing me I'd go back to listening to the others

Well acted, poorly written

The characters are highly ignorant. They lack both common sense and common knowledge. They have thick plot armour granting them immunity from death in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. 99% of the world dies in a day and these idiots stay alive for weeks.

Two side characters die in the season climax. No one dies before then. Certainly no one of consequence. Is this an issue where the writer doesn’t want to change voice actors?
