  • You Feel It…All Over

    Within the Wires is a fiction podcast set in an alternate universe. Each Season stands alone with unique narrators and voices, but also interweaves with the previous. Janina and Jeffrey have deep and incredibly fastidious world building throughout the ten year series. Listening to each episode you get immersed into the world. You feel like you’re listening to a museum audio guide, a lost cassette tape, or old answering machine messages. Written by one half of the original Welcome to Night Vale c... more

  • To wait and binge listen or dive right in

    I wait every season to hear what world Jeffrey & Janina will create for me. I try to wait until the whole season is out but usually give in by week 5.

  • WTW sis a great PC if you don't have much time. Each Season is disconected and each episode also feels like you don't need to know the one before buuuut there are some small sprinkles that doe connect them. I've listend to WTW while in the baththub, to calm and to get lost in the show.

    Great, ofc it's from WTNV which started my pc obsession, but only 4/5 stars since there have been (at least for me) Episodes that clearly stood out to be better and overshattered others.
