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 13 - Coming Home - Part 1 of 2
    Feb 25 2025

    After the chaos in Primm, Alex, Dot, and Grant lead a desperate escape across the desert, but the Boar’s forces aren’t far behind. As the survivors push forward, exhaustion and uncertainty weigh heavily—especially with an unknown threat lurking in the darkness. Meanwhile, Nicholas, Will, and Nakoma take to the skies on a high-stakes pursuit, but navigating the dangers of both the air and their own pasts may prove more treacherous than they expected.

    Far from home, Vera wakes up to a reality she never saw coming. With her trust shattered and questions mounting, she’s forced to confront a place—and people—who claim to hold the answers she’s been missing her whole life. But some truths are more dangerous than the lies that kept them hidden.

    As old loyalties are tested and new dangers emerge, the road home has never been more uncertain.


    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.

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.

one of the best series in the genre!

wonderfully narrated by an awesome cast! the characters feel real and act as such. the story is engrossing, and has you sitting on the edge of your seat, shedding a couple tears, or laughing out loud. everyone should give it a listen!
