We're Alive

By: Wayland Productions Inc
  • Summary

  • We're Alive is an award-winning audio drama that follows a group of Survivors in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles now ruled by the "Infected."


    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:


    “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.


    "Scout's Honor" (on it's own feed!) - Adventure Scouts stranded on Catalina Island off the coast of California must use their wits and teamwork to survive during Outbreak.


    And “We’re Alive: Descendants," which follows the children of the Survivors as they navigate a dangerous new world.


    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: Descendants - Chapter 15 - Valley of the Shadow of Death - Part 1 of 3
    Apr 8 2025

    The battle for survival is far from over. Alex, Dot, and the refugees race against time, but exhaustion and uncertainty threaten to unravel their escape. As they push forward, the dangers of the desert prove just as deadly as the enemies hunting them. Meanwhile, Nicholas and Will navigate other treacherous terrain, where the past casts shadows and every step forward may lead them closer or further from where they need to be.


    18 years after the original STORY OF SURVIVAL, a new generation is forced to grow up in the post-apocalypse. The Infected have evolved into new deadly varieties, and humanity’s efforts to reclaim our lost civilization have put us in conflict with our greatest enemy: Ourselves. Now the countdown begins as the children of the survivors work to make sense of this deadly new world before it consumes them and everything they know and love.

    Vera is faced with a truth she never expected, but answers often come with more questions. As she steps deeper into the world of the Families, the weight of legacy, power, and deception begins to take shape. What does it truly mean to be a part of something larger—and what will it cost her?


    Meanwhile, Nicholas, Will, and Nakoma struggle to find their way through the Louisiana swamps, but survival isn’t their only challenge. The past lingers, trust is tested, and an unseen force watches from the darkness. As the trio edges closer to their next move, the question remains: are they walking into safety—or something far worse?

My #1 favorite

By far, the best podcast I have ever listened to. I have listened to entire series twice and would recommend it to anyone. As the series goes you can tell the effects get increasingly better and it is very well written. I haven’t heard another audio drama come close to this one.
