Listen to the entire epic series, which follows Survivors in Los Angeles after the world has been turned upside down.
It begins with “A Story of Survival” which spans from Chapters 1-48. Our survivors band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat they will have to face.
The adventure continues with two mini-series:
“Lockdown” - A small group of inmates and prison guards are trapped in the T-block at Twin Towers Jail. They are forced to work together and find a way to escape while the rest of the world ends around them.
“Goldrush” - Set 17 years after the main events of “A Story of Survival”, this is a recollection story that describes the efforts of the four Soldiers as they attempt a side mission to retrieve a suspected stash of gold bullion.
Our newest season is “We’re Alive: Descendants”:
The story of survival continues; the fight is not over.
18 years after the Outbreak, the world is starting to re-organize and rebuild, but many different forms of humanity are still struggling to survive in the aftermath. Nicholas Tink grew up in the shadow of his father- the late, great, Saul Tink. Little does he know that deep in the places where infected dwell, another descendant lies waiting.

We're Alive is a post-apocalyptic audio drama podcast. The show follows a group of survivors in a dystopian future plagued by a zombie outbreak. Zombies are only one of the dangers in this morbid vision of the future. Brutal factions of survivors and warring outposts pose an ongoing threat. For those left in Los Angeles following the outbreak, staying alive seems impossible.
The podcast series started in 2009 with the seminal "We're Alive: A Story of Survival." That season follows Michael Cross, a reserve soldier who witnesses the outbreak. He leads a party to a stronghold called the Tower. There, Cross learns how easy it is for people to lose their humanity when the world collapses. The first season includes the voice talents of Jim Gleason, Elisa Eliot, and Nate Geez.
More than dialogue and exposition, the podcast is a captivating and immersive experience. Realistic sound effects and believable performances build a world that feels real. The brilliant sound design reveals what happens in each scene in clever ways. From the creak of a chair or a distant howl, listeners will get a clear idea of the setting.
Creator KC Wayland first conceived the series as a TV show. After several attempts to pitch it to networks, he decided to release it as an audio drama. It was such a success that Wayland went on to produce several more seasons of the show. Since it began airing, We're Alive has won many awards, including the Ogle Award, the Dead Letter Award, and the Webby. With over 250 million downloads, the podcast has a large following.
We're Alive brings listeners on an emotional journey through a broken world. Elements of action, drama, and horror combine to create a unique and compelling story.
