We’re Alive

Our flagship show that began with A Story of Survival. After producing 4 seasons, we went on to release 2 spin-off series, Lockdown and Goldrush. Currently we are actively releasing and producing the sequel: We’re Alive: Descendants.

An outbreak of Zombie-like “Infected” changes the world forever, and the survivors are left to fend for themselves. They band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, where the rules of human decency no longer apply.

Little food. Little water. Little hope. Who is lucky enough to say: “We’re Alive?”

The podcast eventually expanded into four seasons, spin-off shows Lockdown and Goldrush, an actual-play tabletop show by Geek and Sundry called We’re Alive: Frontier, and a sequel, We’re Alive: Descendants.

Melanie Hoskins, an experienced firefighter-paramedic, has been recruited by a very selective and secret organization known as The Division. Based in New York City, Hoskins is forced to leave her civilian life and those she loves behind, and join the front line to try to control the ‘dollar flu’ virus that has been spreading throughout the city.

Not everyone agrees with how this outbreak should be dealt with, and those who used to keep the city streets free of waste have taken matters into their own hands and formed ‘The Cleaners’. The mission is clear, until Hoskins discovers that one of The Cleaners’ newest recruits is someone she can’t bring herself to view as the enemy.

Based on the hit Ubisoft game Tom Clancy’s The Division and starring Katee Sackoff and Shannon Woodward.

An investigative, true crime podcast that delves into the slaughter of eight members of the Rhoden family in rural, Appalachian Ohio in 2016. It was a night that shocked the country with its brutality—and its mystery. Who would commit such horrible crimes? And why? Ohio native David Raterman, a longtime journalist and former author for National Geographic, spent 18 months researching this, interviewing Rhoden survivors and friends as well as hundreds of others in the small community. He even spoke with prosecutors and police officers who were officially gagged by the judge, visited the crime scenes countless times, and pored through records at courthouses throughout the region.
