Description
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.

I don't consider myself a fan of anyone or anything, I don't care to meet any sort of star... but I genuinely get stoked to hear Zack Valenti acting, and I wasn't aware that he was in this episode until I heard the voice... and Gabriel, ah such an amazing writer, I could feel everyone's work in this episode... utter magic. You people truly amaze me.
I really can't bring myself to dislike Wadsworth. like yeah I don't "like" her but also I don't dislike her.
"so... you had a change of heart?" "no, I just listened to it."
Damien truly did ruin all the chances he had
ah oh
the punch from Sam wasn't enough he really needed the torn to shreds

"he's dating Wadsworth nephew???" needed that laugh 😭

"You're going to send it regardless of what I have to say about better forms of communication, aren't you?" (sending noise) "Yep." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
