Six Minutes
by GZM Shows
From the publisher
Discover the most downloaded family audio drama in history. Eleven-year-old Holiday is pulled from the icy waters of Alaska with no memory of who she is or where she comes from. And when she begins to develop incredible abilities, she’ll soon learn she’s not alone in the world.
Why we recommend it
A serialized mystery that drops a six-minute cliffhanger every episode — the one that turns 'one more' into the whole drive.
What Six Minutes is recognised for
Most reviewed
At least 400 written parent reviews. These are the shows with the deepest body of first-hand experience behind them.
Binge-worthy
Rated 4.6 or better AND 300+ episodes. Episode count alone says nothing — plenty of shows are long and mediocre — so this is the two together: worth getting into, with somewhere to go.
Every distinction here is either computed from the whole catalogue or picked by us and labelled as such. How each one is decided

How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.
This summarises what reviewers said. It isn't our verdict, and we don't write reviews ourselves. See exactly how every number is calculated.
