The new 9-part serial graphic audio drama, Brother, Mine written by KC Keene and Eric Dente, explores the confluence of dramatic, aural, musical, graphic and illustration artistry.

Part One begins with Malcom O'Brien, a young man adopted into a life of privilege returning to the neighborhood of his birth seeking credibility from a father he has never known. In determining his own destiny and applying his privilege to a greater cause, he finds himself at odds with everyone he's ever called family both old and new.

"A hard-hitting contemporary parable, rendered with passion and urgency," - Steven Levenson, Tony Award-winner Dear Evan Hansen.

What is graphic audio? An homage to the golden era of 45 record story books brought into modern motion with a fully realized soundscape, extraordinary voiceover actors, and poignant visual imagery. Portable, episodic storytelling in the solitude of your own earbuds. A transportive and revelatory artform amplifying the immersive experience.
