While exploring the halls of their hospital ward, three teens with cancer discover a portal that leads them to Nightingale, a magical world inhabited by a race of sentient machines. Dani, Rocco and Sarah embark on an epic adventure to save Nightingale from a malevolent force known only as The Darkness before it can breach the portal and infect our world. With the help of their empathetic doctor, whose mysterious connection to Nightingale is more than it appears, the diverse trio must face their fears and, in the process, confront the unknown of their own diagnoses. The journey offers them the chance to not only escape their pain and be kids again, but to finally feel like more than just victims of their disease. They might even have a chance to be heroes. ----- Starring Ben Shenkman (Angels in America) as Dr. James Shepherd, Glory Curda (Crown Lake) as Dani Gwan, Gabriella Pizzolo (Stranger Things) as Sarah Thompson, Raphael Alejandro (Once Upon A Time) as Rocco Herrera, Ben Horner (The Blacklist) as Lawrence Faraby, and Christian Barillas (Modern Family) as Nails. ----- For more great shows and to listen early and ad-free, visit GZMShows.com.

So little story time with me… I’m 13 and I’m a 3 time cancer survivor. From the ages of 15 months-6 years old I had a rare form of kidney cancer 3 times which ended up making my childhood all about the hospital and cancer. I had radiation, chemotherapy, 9 surgeries, and now live with less than one kidney (about 75%). This show really brings me back to those days and nights i spent in the hospital with all the other little kids who could relate to me, i wish i would’ve had a show like this when i was little to help me through everything but it’s amazing that kids now can have that. Sure it’s not totally accurate to how things go in the hospital but still great to have representation of the struggles kids can face going through this stuff and add a fun twist to show it’s not all that bad! Definitely one of my favorite GZM shows so far (i’ve listened since the beginning) and i can’t wait for more episodes!! 🫶🎗️ OakTreeMoon P.S. if you’re struggling through cancer or any chronic illness just know you’re not alone and there are other people who know what it’s like, i believe in you and i’m sure people in your life do too! feel free to write about it and hopefully i’ll see! 🎗️🩷
My grandkids and I listen to this podcast twice a week when I pick them up from school. The car is absolutely silent as we listen intently to the story. I must confess that I can’t wait to pick up my grandkids so I can hear the next episode. Great work!
I love that one of the characters is disabled because I’m a bilateral amputee and I wear a prosthetic leg myself. I would recommend this podcast to kids who like fantasy stories, I don’t want to give any spoilers but I just want to say that this podcast contains death so if you get uncomfortable easily you might want to skip this podcast but besides that I would recommend this podcast to anybody interested.
This podcast had some one the most twisting, turning, and riveting plot I’ve seen, right next to Six Minutes. I love the way new mysteries keep being uncovered and all the characters are incorporated.
