About this listen

When the evidence points to two realities, which will you believe?

Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Caught between two mind-blowing possibilities, Dr. Veronica Chapel leaves her job as a high school science teacher to search for answers with her old friend Malcolm Feldman, a determined journalist, and Ada Park, a brilliant astronomer. Oh, and it also happens to be Dr. Chapel's one chance to redeem her destroyed scientific reputation, no pressure...

As the group digs deeper, they uncover layers of mystery that challenge their grasp of the universe and their place in it. With time running out and the world hanging in the balance, they must navigate a tangled web of corporate secrets, government interference, and ethical dilemmas on a high-stakes journey to uncover a truth that will upend our understanding of the cosmos—and ourselves.

The Signal is directed, edited, and scored by Mark Henry Phillips.

Give it a listen.

Fabulous. Painted a great picture for the mind. I couldn’t stop listening, it had great flow and the actors performances were very impressive.

Meh

Started out really strong, but the ending, really could have been way better.
Not the worst story, definitely not the best.

Almost good

This is a neat idea but it was so full of cliches that it keeps pulling the reader out of the story. People with sensitive eyes should be careful because there will be a lot of eye rolling

Thought Provoking

Paget Brewster and cast present a wonderful performance in a "what would you do?" story.

Great story, bad ending

Ending is abrupt and needs work. Felt like a waste of 2 hours to end like that.

An Excellent Listen

A great, relevant plot. Enough twists and turns to make it interesting. An ending with a few messages which are important and thought provoking. A great way to spend an evening or two. Enjoy!

Main character ruins the story.

This is another great story messed up by an annoying, arrogant, simpleton of a main character who is claimed to be the smartest person in the room. Save your time or listen to it on something you don't mind punching.
