Alpha 8

by Bizzie Media Group

A desperate alien. A struggling mom. One life-changing swap that flips a family upside down. Alpha 8 is an award-winning sci-fi audio drama that blends E.T., The Princess Diaries, and a Freaky Friday twist into a heartfelt adventure about identity, parenthood, and second chances. When an extraterrestrial being secretly swaps places with a human mother, both worlds spiral into chaos. The alien must learn the meaning of family to save her species from extinction — while the real mom fights to escape, return home, and protect the people she loves. Government secrets, emotional discovery, and unexpected humor collide across two seasons of cinematic storytelling. Rich sound design, original music, and an ensemble cast bring this world to life — immersive from the first episode. Starring Richard Leacock, Jasmine Ashanti, Jessi Mechler, Todd Gajdusek, Cameron Elie, Malachi Josiah White, Sydney Thomas, Sam Gipson, and Jake Farrago. Created by award-winning writer Stephanie Elie. Sound design by Xperience J, original music by Steven Bias, story editing by Jake Farrago. A Bizzie Media Group production.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The description is accurate in that you’re getting the classic sci-fi premise of aliens coming to understand humans by being among us, the usual government paranoia about said aliens, and the fish-out-of-water wackiness that occurs. What I really enjoy about the series are the distinct personalities and motivations of the different family members and the very real moments of parenting and family life amid the sci-fi tale.

I listened to all eight episodes of Alpha 8 multiple times and everything about this Si-Fi drama was excellently done. The creative writing was of the chart and the accompanying soundtrack aptly drew you into the action, allowing you to easily visualize what was happening. Each episode kept you wondering what’s next? So I can’t wait until season two drops, to find out “what’s next”.

I looked forward to hearing all eight episode of Alpha 8. The end of episode eight had me wanting more of the story. I will definitely be tuning in for season two of Alpha 8. Every aspect, of the production of this podcast in my opinion is well done. Check it out!

I love Alpha 8 and can’t wait for the next season! It is good sci-fi listening fit for the whole family. Great writing and acting where the writer/producer’s entire family pitches in to bring the story alive, aliens and all.
