About this listen

The Bright Sessions is a science fiction audio drama that follows a group of therapy patients. But these are not your typical patients - each has a unique supernatural ability. The show documents their struggles and discoveries as well as the motivations of their mysterious therapist, Dr. Bright.

The show was created by Lauren Shippen and is a production of Atypical Artists. The show has seven seasons, including the previously paywalled Seasons 6 and 7, The AM Archives and The College Tapes.

The Bright Sessions has been downloaded tens of millions of times and cemented itself as a classic of audio fiction. Three spin-off novels were published through Tor Teen: The Infinite Noise, A Neon Darkness, and Some Faraway Place.

intriguing, addictive

listening in on therapy sessions - a fascinating format for revealing unusual characters in sci fi

enjoyed this as an adult, but wouldn't recommend it to my teenage son, due to ambiguous sexual deology, although that is probably the target audience.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
