Crack Between Worlds
Welcome to the Crack – the wound between worlds, the rift among the stars, the fracture between universes, the only news network that brings you every story from every reality. CRACK BETWEEN WORLDS is a weekly fantasy/science fiction podcast from a pocket universe that exists inside a tear in time and space. The CBW Channel broadcasts news and popular shows like Diced, Violet Anatomy, and Dance Sharks. CEO and owner Mr. Stanton, a palm-sized fuchsia dragon with itty-bitty spectacles perched on the tip of his snout, is proud to provide a safe, happy working environment. The life-expectancy isn't nearly as bad as the naysayers claim. Any criticism should be disregarded without investigation. He didn't rip a hole in reality, or force strangers to fall into the crack. If Mr. Stanton didn't employ the lost love interests, former main characters, villains, and mentors, who would? The CBW News team travels across the multiverse and through the time stream, thanks to the sparkly lead reporter top hat, to witness history and conduct on the scene interviews during meaningful, tragic, and exciting events. Here at CBW, we know there are a hundred billion worlds scattered across millions of universes. Add time into the equation, and there is no end to the stories we can cover, from zombie cheerleaders to man-eating stick bugs among purple trees, and the unplanned pregnancy rate at Windlemere War College to the tragic Yuletide Massacre. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We also take time out to talk about our sponsors, like Dracula's Resort and Spa (where relaxation meets undead luxury) and Notta Perfume (because it comes in a black bottle). During this season, our lead reporter is Princess Mito'ca'hondria, Powerhoose of Cellaria. Unfortunately, we've recently lost Dr. Ravenwood, the previous lead reporter to a nanite blizzard. Our other regular reports are Dolly, a grandmotherly southern lady, and rookie reporter, Rob Skythrust… commonly referred as Mr. Beefcake among his devoted fans. If you'd like to get in touch with us here in the Crack Between Worlds, please remember that the shadow people are on strike. Do not stand in a dark corner chanting your message. Instead, you can put a coin under your tongue and think of mayonnaise. Alternatively, write, chisel, or paint your message onto a stick, burn said stick, then feed the ashes to the nearest pigeon.

Interesting Fact: Stick bugs are carnivorous. This fact is less interesting on planets where stick bugs remain smaller than the average hand. In the towering purple forests of an uninhabited planet in Universe 11, this fact is positively fascinating.
As reporters Mito and Dolly grieve the death of their co-worker, they are forced to welcome the newest edition to the CBW Channel, Rob Skythrust. Join Mito, Dolly, and Rob as they inves...
Interesting fact: pom-pons were invented in either 803 AD or 1932 depending on the universe in question. Originally used to intimidate opposing sports teams, cheerleaders would often use the fluttery texture to conceal weapons such as knives, maces, and small battle axes. During the game, cheerleaders would rustle their pom-poms, warning the opposition of what was to come. At the start of halftime, they would rush the stands while ...
Interesting Fact: Windermere War College was originally founded by the Villain Association, a secretive guild dedicated to the elevation of evil and the scheming of plots both impressive and classy.
As the VA rose to prominence in the multiverse, the quality of heroes, protagonists, and chosen ones consistently fell. To rectify this imbalance, the VA created a training school for any 16-22 year old interested in opposing ...
Interesting Fact: Necromancers hate reanimation. It is written in the bylaws of the Necromancy Guild and in the oath all junior necromancers must swear. The exact reason has been lost to time, but it might have something to do with the reanimators undercutting prices. When handling the dead, you get what you pay for. Any fool with sufficient lightning and formaldehyde can reanimate a corpse. It takes power to summon the dead to pic...
Interesting Fact: Of all the locations in the multiverse, Ireland varies most from reality to reality. While countries like England and China tend to have commonalities with their counterparts, the Emerald Isle tends to be drastically different. Mainstays like accent, technological advancement, and culture rarely have any similarities to other Irelands. This phenomenon is also seen in Wales, Basque, and Venice.
After Mito, Dolly, an...
Interesting Fact: The inter-dimensional travel bureau has no origin. They have always existed, or possibly never existed at all. Anthropologists theorize the ITDB may have begun as the Mothers Against Time Travel Movement, but historians call that laughable. Anthropologists then called the historians 'cute.' Hostilities escalated when the historians levied accusations of grave-robbing. The resulting feud had claimed thous...
Interesting Fact: 40% of dragons are vegetarians, and a further 8% claim to be pescatarians. The Inter-dimensional Society for Dragon Welfare conducted this survey, and no other studies have been concluded. Biologists, archaeologists, and other naysaying elitists refuse to continue research in this area, despite 'strong doubts' about the honesty of this study. Allegedly, there were concerns over the multiple universities ...
Interesting Fact: Only 33 truly apocalyptic events have occurred in the known multiverse. Commonly imagined causes like nuclear fallout, flesh-eating bacteria, and atmospheric removal are not as efficient at destroying worlds as most beings believe.
Aside from obliterating a planet into chunks the size of ping-pong balls, it's nearly impossible to wipe out all life on a given world. Scientists have no explanation for the multi...
