  • Great way to get back into speculative fiction!

    I really love this podcast! The writing of the stories is consistently excellent. Within the genres of Hard SciFi, Speculative Fiction, Fantasy, and (light) Horror, Wil’s selections are always imaginative and emotionally engaging. This series has definitely reignited my joy in speculative fiction. I love that he often features authors who are not as well known. This has enabled me to learn about new authors I never would have discovered otherwise.

  • I was sad when Lavar Burton Reads ended. I loved hearing him read me stories. Recently I discovered that Wil Wheaton now doing a short story podcast called It's Storytime. I love him as an actor and book narrator. Now he's reading to me, and everyone else, once a week. Check it out!

    So excited for this amazing replacement for my beloved Levar Burton Reads. It’s just fantastic to hear from new (to me) writers and to share WW’s excitement for these stories
