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. If you enjoy this show, check out the rest of Atypical Artists' shows!

"This is greatness "

"I listened to this whole podcast in about a week, and it was a wonderful week let me tell you. The amount of representation was really refreshing, and Caleb and Adam’s relationship was so beautiful and sweet. I loved the concept and the plot, and the characters were all really likable. I liked the discussion of ethics when it comes to superhuman abilities because that’s honestly not something I’ve seen in a lot of the sci-fi/fantasy media I have encountered. The biggest thing that did stood out to me as a negative though would be the pacing. The pacing just didn’t feel right for some reason? It’s hard for me to describe, but all in all about a 7/10 podcast, would highly recommend. "

"I recommend this show. It the first fiction podcast I started and I just love it. It has a storyline and it looks at mental health. It is pretty much people with superpowers having therapy. If interesting to you I would recommend it but if not then still recommend it because I am not doing it justice. I love the format and the characters. Again I recommend everyone to listen to this "
