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.

Daniel can talk anyone's ear off about science and extraterrestrial beings. But he also has a sweet spot for rap music. He'll often pop in his earbuds and sing along to his favorite songs. Flip It by Trae Haze is at the top of that list.

Balancing a demanding job, family expectations, and her own confusion about human emotions, Alpha 8's behavior veers from endearing to unsettling.

Daniel's discovery forces Alpha 8 to reveal who she truly is — and why she chose his family.
Armed with evidence from the emergency test, Daniel convinces his siblings that their mother has been replaced. But their escape attempt collapses when Alpha 8 reaches them first, leading to a stunning confession about her origin and mission on Earth.

Malachi White voices Jackson in Alpha 8. I love having two boys in the series who are the same age but have different personalities. Jackson is the "cool" kid who loves sports and video games (as long as they are sports-related). He jokes around a lot with Daniel, but at the end of the day, he will always have his back.

Sydney Thomas voices Taryn in Alpha 8. She's Jackson big sister and she's really trying to figure out who she wants to be and how close she wants to get to Larson. Fun fact Sydney and Cameron use to dance at the same dance studio when they were younger!

Cameron Elie brings Daniel to life in Alpha 8. Fun fact: the entire concept of Alpha 8 actually began with Daniel—or more accurately, with Cameron, the actor behind him. I'm thrilled that Cameron could join our cast for this audio drama, and it’s been great to see him reconnect with his on-set dad from another show. Thank you, Cameron, for being an essential part of Alpha 8!
