An immersive fiction podcast using found audio from an alternate universe.

Season Five, "Voicemail," follows the romantic relationship of Indra and Nan, from its cordial aftermath to its distrustful end to its passionate first moments. This 10-episode season is told in reverse chronological order, and entirely through voice mail messages. (Narrated by Amiera Darwish).

Each season of Within the Wires stands alone as its own story, with different narrators and timelines, but they do overlap. You can immerse yourself in the entire universe by listening to the first four seasons, or start listening to the most recent season.

Within the Wires is written by Jeffrey Cranor and Janina Matthewson, with original music by Mary Epworth.

New Book: You Feel It Just Below the Ribs

A new novel by Night Vale co-writer Jeffrey Cranor and Within the Wires co-writer Janina Matthewson.
Coming November 16, 2021.

You Feel It Just Below the Ribs.jpg

A haunting, provocative novel, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a fictional autobiography in an alternate twentieth century that chronicles one woman’s unusual life, including the price she pays to survive and the cost her choices hold for the society she is trying to save. A jarring and uncanny tale of loss, trauma, and the power of human connection and deception, You Feel It Just Below the Ribs is a portrait of a disturbing alternate world eerily within reach.
