    It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton

    You may recognize Wil Wheaton’s name from his acting work in television shows like The Big Bang Theory, Leverage, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, or 1985’s timeless classic, Stand By Me. You may recognize his voice from one of the many audio books he’s narrated, including number one New York Times bestseller, Ready Player One, John Scalzi’s award-winning Collapsing Empire Trilogy, or even his own bestselling memoir, Still Just A Geek.
    Beginning on March 26th, Wil brings you It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton, a weekly audiobook podcast, featuring stories that Wil loves, pulled from the pages of Uncanny, Lightspeed, On Spec, and others. You’re going to meet authors you don’t yet know you love, including some who are being narrated for the very first time. Listeners will travel through time, meet some gods, watch people fall in and out of love, and more, brought to life by Wil’s remarkable narrative voice.

    "To Carry You Inside You" by Tia Tashiro, narrated by Wil

    Today, we are going to visit a future where child actors are still exploited, still used up and discarded, facing an adult life without purpose, that they were never prepared for, because nobody cared what happened to them past an arbitrary age.We will meet a young woman who is doing her best to assemble the pieces of a stolen childhood into a fulfilling adult life. It isn't what she wanted, or would have chosen for herself, but she's doing her best, which is all any of us can do.

    This is: To Carry You Inside You


    Original Publication Credit: "To Carry You Inside You" was originally published in Clarkesworld in print and audio in November 2023; it was translated into Chinese in print in Science Fiction World: Translations in October 2024.

    "Heathman Ldg" by Brian Evenson Apr 15, 2026
    Show notes

    "Heathman Ldg" by Brian Evenson, narrated by Wil

    A splashing fountain in the center court of a mall with fully stocked stores but no shoppers, muzak cheerfully playing for an audience of none. A paper ticket in your hand, in an airport departure lounge that hasn't seen a passenger in fifty years, the board still updating flight information, with whirling letters. The front desk in the empty hotel lobby, an abandoned cigarette burning down in a glass ashtray, static on a black and white TV.

    .These are Liminal Spaces: familiar, recognizable, but not quite right, and also a little bit wrong, in a way that is just beyond your ability to describe. Fortunately for us, it is not beyond author Brian Evenson's ability to describe. In fact, you may want to look up now and then to remind yourself where you actually are, as we take you out on the road, destination: Heathman Ldg.

    Original Publication Credit: “Heathman Ldg” was first published as a limited edition concertina chapbook in Brazil, in English with facing Portuguese translation: Heathman Ldg (Sao Paolo, Brazil: Raphus Press, 2023). Edition of 88, concertina. Nearly simultaneously it appeared in English as: “Heathman Ldg,” Bourbon Penn 32 (2024), 7-22.
