Within the Wires is like. What if World Wars I and II happened as a thirty year stretch. What if only a fraction of humanity survived. What if we lost an unfathomable amount of art and culture. What if the systems we put in place to prevent nationalism and bigotry were just as oppressive. What if family abolitionism and the eradication of religion would devastate our concept of community. What if the few who survived were haunted forever, not just by the dead but by the world that was lost. What if the price of safety is freedom. What if we used mind control and targeted assassination to enforce this. What if it still didn't stop people. And, crucially, what if the person on this cassette tape from this alternate universe you are listening to right now were gay.

This summer, over the course of three months at most, I listened to the entirety of Within the Wires. It’s a sci-fi podcast produced by WtNV Presents (Welcome to Night Vale fans, this is right up your alley).

The stories in this anthology are all set in a world parallel to our own, in which the last war in history ended with the establishment of a globalized society without national borders, ethnic divides, and most bizarrely, without biological families. All children are raised communally and none are allowed to know their parents.

Every season (except for the Chicago one, which I seem to recall features a trans man as protagonist) has a woman in the leading role. Every season focuses on the protagonist’s relationship with a woman/the women in their lives. The series has multiple canonically sapphic leads, explores complicated mother-daughter relationships, and dives into the treacherous waters of nuanced subjects, such as:

What does it mean to be an artist? What is art?

What does it mean to love/be in love? What does it mean to be responsible for other people’s well-being, as a leader, a mentor, or a parent?

What does societal progress really look like?

Is greed/arrogance/selfishness inherent to the human condition? (What sociopolitical factors might make corruption the path of least resistance for both politician and civilian, as opposed to compassion and enlightenment?)

What dangers exist in anarchy? What other hazards are posed by hard authoritarianism?

Anyway, if you’re interested in hearing “relaxation tapes” in a high-tech “hospital” being used as a means to coordinate a breakout with one of the inmates, or listening to an old woman ponder and lament the possible murder of her fellow artist & lover, I would highly recommend Within the Wires.

I love when queer characters are mean or rude or morally grey. I love you Carpenter, Paige and Faulkner, I love you Jon, Martin, Melanie and Tim, I love you Mike(s) Walters, Anne and Edgar, I love you Claudia Atieno, Michael and Hester. I love queer characters that don't sound like they are trying to get a good grade in therapy, I love people with genuine flaws who are messy and do bad things and hurt people and still deserve love and sympathy.

Can any world survive a benevolent god?

Coming Summer 2024 from @foggyoutline and @wirelesstheatre:

(not final artwork)

In this upcoming audio drama podcast, each episode is a prayer, some prayers are granted, and a granted prayer can upend the world.

For fans of

Each episode of I Need A Miracle is a short monologue. A new character every episode. Never the same character twice. Always addressing a plea to a listening deity – which never makes a sound.

Play god

You, the listener, stand in for a silently listening god. Hear brazen demands for divine intervention and vulnerable, secret pleas for deliverance. Whose requests would you grant and why? Does anyone deserve a miracle?

Play detective

Which pleas are granted? How does the listening being decide? What are the Upheavals that regularly wrack this world? What threatens to rise from the Depths? And can any being with ultimate power truly be benevolent?

Play the heartstrings

I Need A Miracle is all about the many kinds of wanting, and the many ways of asking for help. How would you make your case to an omnipotent being who grants some miracles but not others, based on ineffable criteria?

Coming Summer 2024

I'm late to the party, and I'm only now reading You Feel It Just Below The Ribs (the Within the Wires novel, which I highly recommend), and I am LIVING for the way an unreliable narrator is literally getting called out in the notes for being unreliable
