Alaskan Bush People Noah and Bam Bam Brown make it official with heartfelt tribute to late father. May 2025, it’s official. Alaskan Bush People’s stars Noah and Joshua Bam Bam Brown have launched a deeply personal new project that pays tribute to the legacy of their late father, Billy Brian Brown. In a touching social media reveal, the brothers confirmed that the longanticipated audiobook adaptation of their father’s autobiography, One Wave at a Time, is now live, marking a significant moment for the Brown family and fans of the reality TV series alike.
The duo, best known for their roles on the Discovery Channels hit show from 2014 to 2022, shared the news via a casual but emotional Instagram video.
Hey guys, I’m here with this guy, no equipped, gesturing toward Bam Bam. He has something kind of cool to tell you.
Moments later, the announcement was made. The audio book for Dad’s autobiography, narrated by yours truly, is officially available, Bam declared. A mix of pride and emotion in his voice.
An audio journey through the life of Billy Brown. One Wave at a Time chronicles the gripping, inspirational story of Billy Brown and his wife Ammy as they chose to live an unconventional life with their seven children deep in the Alaskan wilderness. The family’s off-the-grid lifestyle, rugged adventures, and fierce loyalty captured the attention of viewers for nearly a decade. This was something dad really wanted to do himself. Bam shared he wanted to narrate the audio book in his own voice. Sadly, he never got that chance. Billy Brown passed away in February 2021 following a seizure, leaving a void in the family and among fans who had grown to admire his steadfast spirit. In the months that followed, Bam Bam decided to take on the task himself, both as a tribute and a way to preserve his father’s voice and spirit. “It took way longer than it should,” Bam admitted with a chuckle.
“But I’m really proud of how it turned out. I set a deadline for May 18th, and I stuck to it. The final product spans just over 6 hours, broken into 13 chapters, and based on the 270 page physical book published before Billy’s passing. Listeners can expect intimate reflections, harrowing stories of survival, and the raw emotionality that made the Brown family story so compelling. Fans react with emotion and support. Fans were quick to flood the comment sections with encouragement and praise. Some celebrated Bam’s narration skills, while others reminisced about the early days of the show and the values it taught them. I’ve watched the show from the beginning. Your dad would be proud of you boys, one follower wrote. Another added, very cool, and Bam has a great voice and inonation for narration. Kept my attention the whole time. Noah, who appeared visibly joyful in the video, drew his own share of praise from fans relieved to see him in high spirits. “It’s nice to see Noah smiling again. You guys are doing great things,” one supporter noted. The emotional toll behind the project. While the announcement video had its light-hearted moments, there’s no denying the emotional weight behind the project. For Bam, this was more than a creative endeavor. It was a way to reconnect with his father’s memory.
Hearing his words again, reading them aloud, it hit me harder than I expected, he confessed. But it also felt healing.
Billy Brown’s memoir isn’t just a tale of Bush life. It’s a story of overcoming adversity. The family faced poverty, public scrutiny, medical emergencies, and tragedy, yet remained united. As the book’s Amazon description aptly notes, it’s a testament to the incredible power of love, trust, and the strength of family. What this means for the Brown family legacy. Though Alaskan Bush people officially ended in 2022, the Brown family has remained active in various creative ways. From bears wild survivalist videos to Rains Art and mental health advocacy, the siblings have carved out their own identities.
But this joint project between Noah and Bam feels especially significant. A symbol of unity in a time when family bonds are more important than ever. This isn’t just about the past. Noah said it’s about carrying the message forward.
Dad believed in living life boldly, even when it was scary. We want people to hear that in every chapter. The brothers hinted that more collaborations may be on the horizon. This was the first step.
Bam teased. We’ve got other ideas.
There’s a lot more of our story to tell.
A special gift for longtime viewers. As a gesture of appreciation for longtime fans, the Browns are offering a discounted download of the audio book exclusively through their new website, alaskanbushpeople.com.
