“A Cure for Solastalgia” by E.M. Linden, narrated by Wil When we leave home for the first time, and enter the so-called Real World, we become responsible for so much more than our laundry, our food, and our bills.

“The Sort” by Thomas Ha

“The Sort” by Thomas Ha, narrated by Wil We don't have to imagine a world where people who aren't doing anything wrong have to hide themselves -- or, at least, their true selves -- for their own safety. I wish that world only existed in imagination, but, well, you know. Today, we will experience that world through a father and his son, who share a very special, telepathic  bond. And, about that, a technical note: this communicat...

“If We Make It Through This Alive” by A.T. Greenblatt

April 30, 2025 • 63 mins
“If We Make It Through This Alive” by A.T. Greenblatt, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time. I must confess that dystopian fiction currently doesn't have the impossible distance from the present for me that it once did. A story about three women navigating crumbling roads and misogyny in equal measure on a dangerous and frequently deadly road race could have come from this morning's paper; we j...

“The God of Minor Troubles” by Megan Chee, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.From a mortal's perspective, a god is a god. Omnipotence isn't really on a spectrum; it's pretty binary. The gods don't see it that way. From the moment humans dreamed them into existence, they've fought among themselves to determine which mortals they will hear, what responsibilities they have, and how they will be ...

"Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death" by Caroline M.

Take a moment with me to feel that -- really feel it -- in your body. Got it? Now, imagine that moving heaven and earth -- well, more earth, but I'm getting ahead of myself -- is not qu...
