Hello strange and unusual family! If you're one of the many people joining tumblr for the first time, coming back, or getting into fiction podcasts for the first time, we've got a show we think you might like!
The Bright Sessions is a science fiction podcast 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 is complete, with seven seasons and three books, and has a cast of interesting characters, found family feels, and swoon-worthy ships.
There's a whole world of Atypicals to jump into, and you can start right now! And keep reading to see the *chef's kiss* ideal way to consume all the different content (aka in in-universe timeline order)
The original podcast ran from 2015-2018 as a single, serialized story over four seasons. Then, in 2018, 10 standalone bonus episodes were produced as a fifth season. In partnership with Luminary, two spin-offs were produced: first, The AM Archives in 2019, and then The College Tapes in 2020. Both are now available on all podcast apps and can be listened to as stand alone series, but should be listened to after listening to the original show. Within the events of the universe, this is the correct order of story progression:
A Neon Darkness (book)
The Bright Sessions Season 1 (original podcast)
The Bright Sessions Season 2 (original podcast)
The Infinite Noise (book)
The Bright Sessions Season 3 (original podcast)
The Bright Sessions Season 4 (original podcast)
Some Faraway Place (book)
The Bright Sessions Season 5 (bonus episodes)
The Bright Sessions Season 6 (The AM Archives)
The Bright Sessions Season 7 (The College Tapes)
