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.

    More ads than content
    Some episodes are literally more ad than story. This podcast could be wonderful fun, but be prepared to hit “skip 30 seconds” five or six times every five or ten minutes.
  • PapaDTay
    Descendants is 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
    Aw come on upgraded and mutated infected with their own ecosystems?? Really?? 😂😂 Now we’re entering Hunger Games meets Zootopia lol. Armored infected let’s be real you guys have to come up with some better “original” material. Lock down and Gold Rush were just fantastic. Lost interest in Descendants. And why did they get so quiet?? Can’t hardly hear anymore with volume maxed out😩😩

    IMAX for the mind.
    There is absolutely nothing in the world of fictional storytelling on a podcast platform better than the We’re Alive UNIVERSE. Just put your ear buds in and go for the ride. You will laugh, cry, yell, binge the entire universe only to do it all over again and again. It is a true IMAX experience for the mind.

    My favorite pod
    I love we’re alive. Any story line they have done has just been great. I have not found anything that comes close to this. I want more episodes so badly, I’m actually considering starting over. Yes, of course there are a lot of ads. Doesn’t matter. The story is worth it. I’m not sure there is anything that can top we’re alive.

    Incredible Radio Drama, Fav Zombie Story
    I’ve been listening to the show as it released since around the beginning. This is easily one of the best podcasts made from both a storyline and production value. The original story is engulfing and the spin offs are good in their own merits. It is the most original zombie apocalypse story I’ve experienced and I can’t recommend it enough! Descendants was a great progression of the show and honestly felt so real. KC has mastered writing the protagonist that you want to strangle but are cheering for. Nick is the worst lol needs some therapy. Ads are annoying but they’re exactly 3-3.5 mins long so not exactly hard to deal with….

    A Great Zombie Story
    This is up there with Night of the Living Dead & The Walking Dead!
  • yo stepmomma
    Netflix PLEASE
    This would make an amazing show! It could go further than Walking Dead!!! Please Netflix 😩
  • 🇺🇸🇨🇮🇺🇸
    Great show
    Went to the beach and finished all of it in a week lol (including all there spinoffs)
  • rifjcnejxjfj
    hear me out
    so i LOVE this podcast and it’s understandable that ppl dont like the ads but think of it from their pov. they first of all need money, the other reason is probably because ppl can get scared with this show and sometimes need a break from listening so they put in ads and space them out in the show to sort of help ppl decompress for a second. thats just my opinion and what i think they do it for. idk anyways thanks for reading for a sec🤗😉
  • alexrenee82
    Must listen
    In the first few episodes, the voice actors sound uncomfortable BUT quickly find their rhythm and the show gets you into a chokehold. I’ve listened through this podcast (and scouts honor) at least 4 times. It is my favorite apocalyptic podcast. Can’t wait for the final installment!

    Omg can’t stop crying
    Chapter 44 y’all omg this podcast is sooo dope .. love listing while driving.
  • My sreies
    Best series
    I don’t listen to a lot of podcast series. I have to say this is the best one. I’ve heard yet. It’s so good. I’ve listened to the whole series 3 times from the beginning to the finale. Can’t wait for the next one. Keep up the good work. PS I love Bert
  • Jayrich44
    BEST PODCAST EVER
    I’m on my 3rd play through. I love listening when doing my art. This is hands down the best made podcast. You can close your eyes and feel like your there. The magnus archive is my second favorite. It’s like the same. The amount of detail and sound behind this is mind blowing. It’s so amazing. I’m hoping they finish decedents soon because I’ve been waiting on the new season for 2 years. If you like the walking dead you’ll love this. IF YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO THE ADDS LISTEN ON AMAZON MUSIC THERE IS NO ADDS. Even though you can skip them on here I’m listening it for the 3rd time on Amazon with no ads and it’s so much better. My second play through I listened on here but they used to have an episode at the end of the season that had all the episodes for that season back to back with no ads. But Amazon prime is the best way to listen now. I dont know about YouTube.
  • gpsmonkey
    So. Many. Ads.
    I’ve listened to the first several episodes and there are just advertisements everywhere. Like half the show is ads.
  • Pantyboy4mommys
    I like this podcast a lot it’s well produced
    But the mint mobile ads are borderline harassing and are so annoying that it’s a turn off to hear I’d rather hear Fran dreshsr have sex with Gilbert godfried
  • Qotsa-st.vincent
    Best fiction podcast ever
    This is my absolute favorite podcast. The cast is amazing, the characters are fantastic - it’s so well written. There are many fiction podcasts that are great, but there are never enough episodes. We’re Alive is the best of the best and you can listen for hours. I did not want it to end.
  • Rolth
    Insane amount of ads
    10+ minutes of ads for a show that is typically sub-20 minutes? Oh god no.
  • rionracing
    One and only
    This audio drama was the first audio drama I’ve ever listened to. I explained it to my family and friends as a movie without video. The bad thing is multiple people have said they imagine it the same as me. I couldn’t imagine a series on tv. I’d be so invested and pay a membership.
  • Suckmysnorkle
    I love this show but the ads…
    The show is amazing but the advertisements are LOUD!!!!! Wish my ears didn’t have to bleed every time you needed a dollar lol.
  • Burnsglt
    Love and sadness
    I love love love love this show. I am sad that it is coming to an end though but I can respect their decision, begrudgingly. This show has brought me so much joy, entertainment, tears, anger(because they write characters who piss you off so well) and peace. I always thought it would be cool if they did a spin off of other locations, cities/towns, states and or countries. I will still do my bi-monthly listen of every story even after they’ve finished the storyline. You get so invested into the characters that you feel their happiness, pain, sorrow, and deaths. Even though I’ve listened to it multiple times and I know when things are going to happen I still get sad, I still cry and still get angry. The best audio drama I have ever heard. I still use We’re Alive as a benchmark for if a show is good or not.

    Best there is. Great cast. Great sound effects. Great music. I love it.
  • LucyLou972
    Nothing Compares!! 10+⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    I haven’t found a podcast yet that I have enjoyed more than We’re Alive!
  • Jimmybones661
    Great podcast
    I’ve been listening to we’re alive since 2009 and I’m still surprised this haven’t been picked up by Amazon Netflix hbo for a series to be adapted it’s literally gold the story and characters everything is so well done my hats off to you Mr. Wayland
  • (Walter55)
    One character is……….
    The actor who plays Nick, is so annoying, his voice is annoying , his character is annoying, delete his character!
  • Person-now-aware
    By far the best audio drama/podcast ever!
    Anything else is a very distant second. We’re Alive: A Story of Survival (4 full seasons) is the best of them, but Lockdown, Goldrush, and Descendants were all fantastic as well. Extremely excited for We’re Alive: Scout’s Honor (releasing March 19th), and they just started a kickstarter to help fund a second and third season of Descendants. So everyone, please pledge if you can. As silly as it may sound, We’re Alive got me through some really tough times, and it’s still a great listen, even the 3rd or 4th time. I’ll support them in any way that I can!
  • Mandoog006
    LITERALLY the best!
    Of all the story telling podcasts, scripted or actual D&D types, hands down my fav. Besides my mainstay info and political podcasts, def my most listened to. Over and over. It’s that good. Descendants is mid. Definitely the worst. Honestly so bad I haven’t finished it. But the rest is AAA+++!!!
  • ccsstarot
    Female characters lack depth and interest
    Most of the active roles in the plot so far are driven by forceful GI joe types. It would be more interesting and less predictable if there was a variety of characters but unfortunately not the case up to this point.
  • CurvyD01
    Best podcast ever!
    Absolutely captivating! One of the best podcast I’ve ever come upon. Love the characters and all of the wonderful work that goes into the entire story.
  • Csamuel19
    ANAZING
    Fantastic binge, I’m currently going through it the first time and it just keeps getting better and better!!
  • M.N.E.
    Awesome show
    They do a very good job of painting a picture for you. There are a few different parts of the show and they do a good job at making each part feel like a completely different experience without being too repetitive.
  • Fredhues
    Make more!!
    I’ve listened to every episode and am hoping more will come! This is literally one of the best quality and best attention grabbing thrilling podcast ever!
  • Tortilla Turtle
    Need an Update!
    Please tell me the show will be back!! I’ve replayed every season three times now.
  • dayumDavonne
    Amazing podcast!
    I am re-listening to this podcast for the fifth time! I love all the characters and honestly, I cry when the bad stuff happens( no spoilers!) I cannot wait for the newest season to begin and I highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking for a great horror podcast! It’s full of twists, turns and you start to view Micheal and his friends as part of your friend group.
  • K8spad3
    Next?!?
    Love this! When’s the next season???
  • PredictableToast
    Perfect Storytelling Podcast
    I don’t like apocalyptic stuff. I avoid things like the walking dead. But this podcast? I love it. I’ve relistened to it at least four or five times. I’ll never be over the first heartbreak of finishing the original season for the first time.
  • Quincy BJJ
    Started out a little over-dramatic, but **** it got really good!
    I think the first few episodes were a little over-dramatic, but then they started building nicely and then it just remained really good! Only a couple of small details I didn’t like: (1.) military would never call a magazine a “clip” and (2.) if you were on the receiving end of a rifle shot, you would hear the impact before you would hear the rifle shot… 2023 update: everything after 2019’s Goldrush just tanked in comparison to the earlier episodes.

    An all-time favorite story and adventure. ♥️
    After 5+ years of annual relistens, We’re Alive has cemented its place in my heart as an all-time favorite. I just finished listening from “It Begins” to the end of “Descendants” for the first time and cannot wait to start from the beginning again. Even if I know what’s coming, I am still engaged and immersed in the story. It is so intricate and thought out, I feel like I catch something I missed with each new listen. I look forward to putting more pieces together as new content is made. The storytelling and production value is simply incredible and truly makes you feel personally connected to the characters. It really is a great escape while driving or going out on walks. I am so thankful to have come across the We’re Alive universe and hope to have it to listen to for the years to come. 🧟‍♀️♥️
  • mjb0411
    Guess no more episodes!!!!!!!
    Love it but why new episodes since march?
  • onlymekat
    better than most
    saul is the goat. great writing and acting there. looks like the writer started out writing women annoying and cliched but evolved eventually into seeing them more as individual humans. we’re always glad to see a writer evolve.

    The Best Show Ever.
    I have listened to this ENTIRE show twice. The voice acting, the sound effects and the suspense building are incredible. Can this show be turned into tv series or something like that because there is no chance it doesn’t blow up. I want to say more but I don’t want to spoil it. DON’T SKIP the shorter shows they all tie together and listen to them in order. Enjoy!
  • Lilsd2momma
    Love love love
    This is by far my favorite podcast! I wish they would make it into a movie!!!! I have listened to every episode twice now and currently going through my 3rd time but this time with my son. I couldn’t find a way to get him to sit still during car rides until I introduced him to this. He tells everyone about it and he also loves it. Sadly I haven’t found any other shows that compare.
  • Cartersauce
    Deserves 5 stars.... but...
    This podcast is amazing. I have listened almost every episode. The original story was captivating. They writer and actors painted the scenes extremely well and I felt like I was in the environment myself. Lockdown was great Goldrush was hilarious. Then all of a sudden in Descendants the story and who exactly is talking is not always clear. What makes it even more confusing is a new character Dean's "parents" apparently are 2 lesbians. So not really his parents.. then you hear CJs daughter talk about how much she liked Nick but dated a girl before. We dont need to pander to the gays. Just keep it normal and it will be less confusing.

    What a Masterpiece!
    I started We’re Alive: A Story of Survival over two year ago. I never finished and recently decided to start back where I left off and the show has not disappointed!! I’ve listened through A Story of Survival, Lockdown, and now am currently going through Goldrush. And let me tell you, after two installments of drama, tensions, and survival. This hilarious installment has been a nice break before starting Descendants! Multiple times per day does this have me bursting with laughter. It’s a good thing I work alone, otherwise I’d catch a few weird stares. Highly recommend this series. I’m glad I came back to finish. And delightfully found out that Descendants is a proper sequel. Can’t wait to start listening to that one. Better than I could’ve imagined when I started listening a few years ago.
  • Chestervoltaire
    Dot???
    I’m going crazy with the dot dot thing. It’s annoying. I’ve enjoyed this overall saga for years, but lately it’s been hit or miss. The focus is lacking in my opinion. As a whole body of work, We’re Alive universe is impressive. Just not feeling these characters much.
  • Samantha Keathley
    This show is amazing
    I love love love this!
  • Superhero Freak
    The Golden Ticket of Horror Podcast
    I LOVE this show. I found it back in 2019-2020 when I use to work for Amazon. Listening to it on my deliveries definitely helped the day go by fast and kept me interested. Every since then I’ve heard ALL of the different versions/seasons at least 20 times over through & through! Also have put a couple people onto it as well. Even tried to audition for it once but I wasn’t in Cali lol. This is a Quality
  • 3 piece n a soda
    The last of Us type world. Brilliant audio drama
    Wow, talk about a thrilling ride that keeps u wanting to hear more. I have been looking for a audio drama that will help me kill some time at work and boy did this one fill that void. It’s basically the last of us in a audio version. I’m about a quarter of the way through right now and am so excited to see what’s next for this Exceptional apocalypse drama

    MASTERPIECE
    I’ve been looking for good and engaging fiction podcasts and they are few and far between… This one though is incredible not a dull moment throughout the entire Descendants series. And lockdown is just good so far! Keep it up! Great work!! It’s a must listen!
  • Emilsal
    Still, an instant classic!
    Listening to the whole series again, from beginning to end. This audio drama sets the bar high. Descendants series is so sick and engaging. Sooooooooo frick’n good!
  • Hawaiian girly
    Best show ever!
