For the exceptional script, acting, and production
quality, We’re Alive is the gold standard of modern audio drama. I started listening a couple of weeks ago,
and if I had the time I would spend hours each day until reaching the end. As
it is, I’ve gotten through 12 episodes and love every second of it.
The premise of the show is survival of a small group
in Los Angeles during a zombie apocalypse. Characters come and go through the
course of the show and you don’t know who might die without warning.
Presented in a staggering 139 episodes starting in May
of 2009, the final episode came on 29 July 2014. The show is professionally
done in a real sound studio with a full cast of actors. Strangely, though it’s
an audio drama, the show is listed on www.imdb.com as a TV show. There, you can
find the full cast listed, many of whom you may recognize from film,
television, and theater.
If you don’t like zombie movies, let me assure you
that this is not a gore-fest. I don’t even consider it horror. This is drama.
This is suspense. This is story-telling at its finest.
