EMERGENCY ALERT. BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INCOMING. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. What would you do if you only had 20 minutes left to live? INCOMING is a thrilling and hilarious cinematic audio series that explores how people react in their most critical hour. Based loosely on the false alarm missile alert that terrified Hawaii in 2018, INCOMING imagines stories of all kinds – from terrifying to absurd, from heartwarming to heartbreaking. Each episode introduces a new city, new time period, and new set of characters as they get the news: THERE’S A MISSILE ON THE WAY.  Created by the award-winning screenwriter and Broadway composer David Singer, INCOMING features performances from Tracy Letts, Marilu Henner, David Pasquesi, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Paul Adelstein, Amy Landecker, Matt Walsh, Rusty Schwimmer, Brad Morris, Karen Rodriguez, Joe Miñoso, J. Nicole Brooks and many, many others.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The storytelling and acting in this series is absolutely excellent. I burned through all of these in 2 days and could devour more. Although the same "plot" for the story, putting this in different time lines really gives the listener a chance to delve into each of the characters and flesh them out with each episode. Masterful acting, casting, and scoring of each story. I've recommended this to a number of people already.

Truckzilla · Jul 2025

A great podcast - creative and very well-written & acted. Binged it on a road trip! Highly recommend.

Sleepless Sam · Jun 2025

Each episode is perfection. Writing and editing, the music and the cast, the entire production — outstanding. Highly recommend.

Spesh713 · Mar 2025

INCOMING is a phenomenally entertaining series that is as poignantly satirical as it is hilariously relatable. The emphatic dialogue, rich character development, and talented delivery from genuine performers show the true boundless quality of David Singer’s writing.
