This entirely fictional (and entirely hilarious) immersive audio drama features performances by Kevin Nealon (Zeta Doug), Natasha Lyonne (Narrator), and Amy Goodmurphy (Katie).
Set on a large ranch in rural upstate New York, it’s early days for the eccentric group of people who call themselves The Zeta Family — quite possibly the next big cult phenomenon.
Our protagonist, Katie, is an aspiring reporter who has decided to infiltrate the compound, and her future success as a journalist depends entirely on her ability to win the confidence of Zeta Doug, the likable spiritual leader of the group.
He’s like a cross between Hunter S. Thompson and George R. R. Martin, with a little too much sci-fi in his head and acid in his blood stream. Like all good cult leaders, Doug is elusive and mysterious, and Katie quickly begins to wonder if this cult is truly just a gnarly collection of weirdos hanging out in the woods, or is there something else going on here?
The Zeta Family was created and written by Gretchen Enders and Produced by Kelly&Kelly.

Our favorite moments from The Zeta Family




Cults are back, baby
On the Venn diagram of my listening preferences, The Zeta Family occupies several circles: It’s got the pacing of a thriller along with plenty of jokes, a storyline about cults, and the vocal talents of (*dies*) Natasha Lyonne. Kevin Nealon and Amy Goodmurphy round out the truly awesome cast of narrators, and the sound design is next-level. As Editor Aaron attests, "Referring to The Zeta Family as anything less than a truly original audio experience would be an understatement." I can’t wait to join the cult when this weird and wild listening adventure debuts this month!

About the Performer
Kevin Nealon sets himself apart from other comedic performers with his unique sense of humor, dry wit and likeable demeanor. He is perhaps best known for his nine-year stint as a cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, where he created some of the show’s most memorable characters including Subliminal Man and Hans and Franz. Quite notably, it was his reoccurring role as an anchor on Weekend Update that helped make the sketch a show staple. He also earned an Emmy nod as part of the SNL writing team. He received much critical acclaim for his role as Doug Wilson in the Showtime series, Weeds. He currently stars alongside Matt LeBlanc on the CBS-TV comedy series Man With A Plan, and he also hosts the YouTube series Hiking With Kevin. His 2009 Showtime stand up special, Kevin Nealon: Now Hear Me Out! aired to rave reviews, followed three years later by a second standup special for Showtime, Whelmed...But Not Overly. Other televisions credits include guest starring roles on Hot In Cleveland, The League, Soul Man, Drunk History, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He is also a regular on the talk show circuit. On the big screen, Kevin starred alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Just Go with It, and opposite Andy Samberg and Sarah Silverman in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Other credits from his extensive film career include Anger Management, Blended, Eight Crazy Nights, The Wedding Singer, Happy Gilmore, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, Joe Dirt, Walk of Shame, Daddy Day Care, Good Boy, Roxanne, and the cult hit Grandma’s Boy. Kevin continues to tour the country performing stand-up comedy, and he is currently working on his third, yet to be titled, stand-up special. In addition, he authored Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me?—a comical look at the male perspective of pregnancy which is available in bookstores.
