What is American Afterlife and why did it top the Apple fiction charts?
Hi, it's Scarlett Esteves, or Cielo from American Afterlife. Thank you so much for listening to this audio drama. It's been wonderful seeing all your positive comments about the series, and we really appreciate every single one. We actually hit number one in the fiction and drama podcast charts on Apple, which has been incredible to see. If you haven't already, I would really appreciate it if you give us a review on Apple or Spotify. And guess what? Now we're giving away three pairs of American Afterlife socks, designed by me and made by our partners, Pair of Thieves, as a thank you. Check out the link in the description for more details on how to get your socks. Here are some clips from my recent media tour where I talked all about the making of American Afterlife, so you can get a behind-the-scenes feel of how we built the world of our show.
And Scarlet is on the phone with us. Scarlett, good morton and welcome to Hey Morton, how are you? Hello, great. How are you? Really good. So the American Afterlife podcast is about a massive earthquake and then the aftermath from a perspective of a woman trying to figure out what to do next. Did I get that part right? Yes, totally. That's definitely. Yeah. And I'll tell you about ten minutes in there's a twist where you thought she was just narrating what's happening and then you realize there's another layer that may end up being rather sinister. And I don't want to give that away 'cause I think everyone should absolutely if you make it to ten minutes in this podcast, you're absolutely hooked. Uh so Scarlett, first of all, um you've done I mean everything in acting, right?
Have you done voiceover? Yeah, I've done a lot of voiceover before too, but never like podcasting. So this was super cool and very different. How is it different when 'cause that was my biggest thing in thinking, okay, it's different when you're in front of a T V show or, you know, a movie and you're like, Okay, I know my lines, I know what I'm gonna do physically, but in this, in American Afterlife, you don't have that visual. So how is it different? The podcast is really cool because it's kind of set up like an interrogation. So that was really different from anything that I've ever done because I was like sitting in a room and like the stuff that I was saying was like supposed to be on like a microphone and stuff like that.
So that was really cool and just like yeah, I think it made it feel very different. The whole like tone of it is very different. I think it's interesting that a lot of people have probably imagined for a second what would take place if a major seismic event happened and then I had to fend for myself. And I think you guys bring that to life pretty well because there are parts of it that you're not thinking about. And if you are listening to this podcast right away, you start getting introduced to some of the events that would take place that you would not anticipate would be the immediate immediate aftermath of a major event like that. Yeah, for sure. It was like I remember when I first read the script, I was like, Oh my God, it was so scary.
I was like, I'm so stressed for her. She's going through this right now. Yeah. I think it's a good time for these kind of podcasts 'cause here's what I think we're tired of. We're tired of podcasts where it starts out going, Okay, we're here, we're on. Yeah, we're here.
How did Scarlett transition from TV/film to voice‑only audio drama on The Hey Morton Show?
All right. John, you there? I'm here. All right, we're doing it. We're doing it. All right. Hello. Right. Stop. Also, I think the people are looking for, you know, the art of storytelling to be come back. You know? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I listen to podcasts too, like in my car whenever, like, you know, I have long drives and stuff. But yeah, sometimes I'm like, I need something that I can listen to that's more than music, but the podcast I also am not that interested in anymore. So I think that this is like a really fun thing 'cause it's Not it's not an audiobook, but it's like yeah, it's storytelling and it's really painting a picture for you and I think that that's really cool and really special that we get to do that.
