The Zeta Family

De: Gretchen Enders

Narrado por: Kevin Nealon, Natasha Lyonne, Amy Goodmurphy

This entirely fictional (and entirely hilarious) immersive audio drama features performances by Kevin Nealon (Zeta Doug), Natasha Lyonne (Narrator), and Amy Goodmurphy (Katie).

Set on a large ranch in rural upstate New York, it’s early days for the eccentric group of people who call themselves The Zeta Family — quite possibly the next big cult phenomenon.

Our protagonist, Katie, is an aspiring reporter who has decided to infiltrate the compound, and her future success as a journalist depends entirely on her ability to win the confidence of Zeta Doug, the likable spiritual leader of the group.

He’s like a cross between Hunter S. Thompson and George R. R. Martin, with a little too much sci-fi in his head and acid in his blood stream. Like all good cult leaders, Doug is elusive and mysterious, and Katie quickly begins to wonder if this cult is truly just a gnarly collection of weirdos hanging out in the woods, or is there something else going on here?

Format is great and the story is fun, but...

I love the immersive radio play format and the plot concept was fun. I’m pretty sure the only value added by Natasha Lyonne is that the publisher was able to say that Natasha Lyonne was in the story. Fortunately, that portion is easily avoided with the 30 second “skip ahead” button. All in all, it was worth a listen.

Great for the beach!

I wanted something light and funny for my summer vacation and this did the job! Funny and light! Totally recommend.

Cute listen

This was a cute listen. Wonderful performance, funny, not really a page turner but worthwhile

Fun Short Read

The performance was run and exciting. The story was pretty interesting. My first fiction audible read and it was fun that it was "acted out" rather than just read aloud.

Good fun listen

It's a pretty good story with some big names doing voice work I really liked it if your a fan of comedy you'll like this I think

Pretty different but interesting

So I gave this a chance because it was shorter and I thought it would be a really interesting listen. While I’m not super impressed with how it ended, the voice actors did a really good job making the story interesting and engaging for anyone who listens. It’s a quick, laughable and an eye rolling story that most people with a dry sense of humor will enjoy.

hated narrator character

the rest of the characters were good the story was well written and acted. the narrator character was the most abrasive and annoying character of the whole story. I dreaded each time I heard her voice I just wish the story would regress she didn't add much besides setting up the additional plot. in the end she gets sober and is less annoying before she runs her mouth more she does not set up the story she just talks about herself and almost ruined a perfectly enjoyable and will done story.

What a delight!

Great cast, unique story, and holy cow, the writing, acting, production are all superb. Highly recommend!
