Six Minutes

Six Minutes is a serialized audio drama from Gen-Z Media, the Peabody Award-winning studio behind The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel. The story opens when eleven-year-old Holiday is pulled from the icy waters of Alaska with no memory of who she is or where she comes from. As she begins to develop extraordinary abilities, she realizes she is not alone and that powerful forces are looking for her. Each episode runs roughly 10 to 14 minutes, making them easy to stack back-to-back during a long drive or parcel out one at a time between rest stops. The cliffhanger endings are addictive; kids will beg to keep the next episode rolling. Across five seasons and 367 episodes, the show builds a sprawling sci-fi mythology that rewards committed listening. Full-cast voice acting, cinematic sound effects, and a propulsive score give it the feel of a blockbuster movie unfolding in your speakers. A Spanish-language version, Seis Minutos, is available for bilingual families. The show holds a 4.6-star rating from nearly 17,000 reviews, and it consistently ranks among the most downloaded family audio dramas ever produced. For families who loved Mars Patel and want another gripping serial to devour on the highway, Six Minutes is the obvious next pick.
