Alpha 8
A desperate alien. A struggling mom. One life-changing swap that flips a family upside down.
Alpha 8 is an award-winning sci-fi audio drama that blends E.T., The Princess Diaries, and a Freaky Friday twist into a heartfelt adventure about identity, parenthood, and second chances.
When an extraterrestrial being secretly swaps places with a human mother, both worlds spiral into chaos. The alien must learn the meaning of family to save her species from extinction — while the real mom fights to escape, return home, and protect the people she loves. Government secrets, emotional discovery, and unexpected humor collide across two seasons of cinematic storytelling.
Rich sound design, original music, and an ensemble cast bring this world to life — immersive from the first episode.
Starring Richard Leacock, Jasmine Ashanti, Jessi Mechler, Todd Gajdusek, Cameron Elie, Malachi Josiah White, Sydney Thomas, Sam Gipson, and Jake Farrago.
Created by award-winning writer Stephanie Elie. Sound design by Xperience J, original music by Steven Bias, story editing by Jake Farrago. A Bizzie Media Group production.
