| 1/21/26 | "Wend-Way-Go" by Tim Pratt | "Wend-Way-Go" by Tim Pratt, narrated by Wil Aesop, of the Fables, wrote that no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. If you've listened to me for any amount of time, you know how committed I am to choosing kindness, celebrating kindness, and encouraging kindness in others. Today's Storytime is all about kindness with a capital K. It's also about Family with a capital F. Now, to me, Family are the people who love you no matter what, who always show up for you without question or judgment. When you are with Family, you are safe. Family can be your siblings, your parents. It should be, but not all of us get that, and for us, it can also be -- and frequently is -- chosen and assembled from friends, coworkers, and extended relations who are willing to do the hard work of being a Family. We're just a moment away from meeting Wade, a man who is a little lonely, and a little lost. His cousin, Keifer, who is a bigger part of Wade's capital F family than I think Wade realizes, is pulling into his driveway. It seems that Kiefer knows Wade needs his Family right now, and he's here to drive him exactly where he needs to go, using his brand new Wend-Way-Go.

| 1/7/26 | “The Other Side of Mictlān” by M.M. Olivas | “The Other Side of Mictlān” by M.M. Olivas, narrated by Wil Hi, I'm Wil and it's Storytime. I have an interesting life. I get create art and share it with a loyal audience. I get to travel all over the world and meet people from every culture and background imaginable. I frequently have the privilege of speaking to large groups of people about the value of kindness, inspiring them to be the change we all wish to see in the world. I do my best to make a difference with all the privilege I have, and that keeps returning to me ten times over. All of that is interesting, and it feels pretty good ... but it isn't even the best part of being me. That part of me, the most important and valuable part that lives in the most sacred, protected depths of my heart, is my family. The very best part of being me, is being married to Anne, and being Ryan and Nolan's dad. Everything else is a distant second place. Today's storytime is about a family that loves each other the way we do. It's not all roses and chocolates -- real love never is -- but it forms a bond that is so powerful, it persists no matter where they are, even on The Other Side of Mictlān.

| 12/17/25 | “The Coffin Maker” by AnaMaria Curtis | “The Coffin Maker” by AnaMaria Curtis, narrated by Wil I will never understand the reckless inaction humanity seems to have chosen in the face of catastrophic climate change. Last time I looked, Earth was the only planet we have, and taking care of her should probably land real close to the top spot on our species' to do list. Catastrophic Climate Change is scary, it's real, and it's dangerously close to inevitable because it is so scary, we tend to look away and pretend it's going to somehow be okay. Y'all, it is not going to be okay unless we choose to make it okay. And one of the ways we can inspire people to do that is through fiction that suggests what our future may look like, if we continue to choose inaction. This week, we're boarding The Guiding Light, a research vessel that's been sent on a desperate mission from a dying world to find someplace new to live. They've been looking for a long time, and all they've found is death. Maybe this planet will be different. Let's find out, as we join The Coffin Maker.

| 12/10/25 | “A Cure for Solastalgia” by E.M. Linden | “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. We truly become responsible for ourselves. We choose our values, we choose who we will trust to share those values, and when we come home for the first time, we will do everything we can to convince our parents that the values we are now living should also be their values.The resulting, deeply disappointing and frustrating experience, is commonly called "The Generation Gap" and some of you are noticing a rueful grin has appeared on your face just now because you have experienced this for yourself. Some of you, like me, have experienced it from both sides of the gap. Today's Storytime is about someone who is very special, just as their mother intended them to be. They carry their mother's talents, shaped and nurtured by her teaching. They've been away from home long enough to discover that the way they use those talents is very different from the way their mother intended. There is no bridge that can cross their Generation Gap, and if I told you why, there wouldn't be much of a story left. So, we are about to join them, in their Real World, while they work to claim their talent for themselves, to make it their own, as they seek A Cure for Solastalgia.A Cure for Solastalgia was originally published in January 2024, issue 1, of Strange Horizons.E.M. Linden (she/her) is a speculative fiction writer from Aotearoa New Zealand who likes coffee, books, and owls. Her work has previously appeared in The Deadlands, Flash Fiction Online, Weird Horror, and elsewhere. To learn more about the author, please visit: emlinden.blog or @emlinden.bsky.social.

| 12/3/25 | “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 communication is clear in the text, but it's less so in this format. So when they are communicating directly, our editors will make it sound like this. Now, let me bring you with me to a world that is all-too familiar, as we meet a family who are about to encounter The Sort.The Sort by Thomas Ha was originally published in Clarkesworld Issue 215, in August 2024. Thomas Ha is a Nebula, Ignyte, Locus, and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated writer of speculative short fiction. You can find his work in Clarkesworld, Lightspeed Magazine, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Weird Horror Magazine, among other publications. His work has also appeared in The Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy and The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror. His debut short story collection, Uncertain Sons and Other Stories, is now available. In fact, I have a copy sitting on my desk. Thomas grew up in Honolulu and, after a decade plus of living in the northeast, now resides in Los Angeles with his family.
