The Bright Sessions is a science fiction podcast audio drama created by Lauren Shippen and starring Julia Morizawa as the titular Dr.

The podcast takes place in a fictional universe where super-powered individuals, called "atypicals", exist.

Sam Barnes who can travel in the past, Chloe Turner who is a telepath and Caleb Michaels, an empath.

Caleb is a high school boy who begins to run into problems when he discovers a classmate can overwhelm his powers.

Bright, Sam, Chloe, Caleb, Adam, and Mark go to a safe house to escape Damian.

Chloe, dealing with the negative effects of Damian's attack, leaves to spend time in the country to recover.

Bright begin working together in atypical investigation, as well as becoming co-directors of the AM Archives with Agent Green after Wadsworth gets promoted to Washington.

Bright's evaluation, a patient named Helen, a frequency manipulator, escapes and forces Agent Green to call Wadsworth.

The serum works and is able to be used to help another patient named Alex, a fire manipulator who had been in a coma for his own protection.

At the same time, Oliver Ritz, an alchemist and friend of Mark's from tier 5, is hired to take apart an atypical artifact at Yale.

He concluded by saying that while the podcast feels constrained, due to focusing solely on the therapy sessions, it manages to make it work.
