About this listen

Welcome to the Crack – the wound between worlds, the rift among the stars, the fracture between universes, the only news network that brings you every story from every reality.


CRACK BETWEEN WORLDS is a weekly fantasy/science fiction podcast from a pocket universe that exists inside a tear in time and space. The CBW Channel broadcasts news and popular shows like Diced, Violet Anatomy, and Dance Sharks. CEO and owner Mr. Stanton, a palm-sized fuchsia dragon with itty-bitty spectacles perched on the tip of his snout, is proud to provide a safe, happy working environment. The life-expectancy isn't nearly as bad as the naysayers claim. Any criticism should be disregarded without investigation. He didn't rip a hole in reality, or force strangers to fall into the crack. If Mr. Stanton didn't employ the lost love interests, former main characters, villains, and mentors, who would?


The CBW News team travels across the multiverse and through the time stream, thanks to the sparkly lead reporter top hat, to witness history and conduct on the scene interviews during meaningful, tragic, and exciting events. Here at CBW, we know there are a hundred billion worlds scattered across millions of universes. Add time into the equation, and there is no end to the stories we can cover, from zombie cheerleaders to man-eating stick bugs among purple trees, and the unplanned pregnancy rate at Windlemere War College to the tragic Yuletide Massacre. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We also take time out to talk about our sponsors, like Dracula's Resort and Spa (where relaxation meets undead luxury) and Notta Perfume (because it comes in a black bottle).


During this season, our lead reporter is Princess Mito'ca'hondria, Powerhoose of Cellaria. Unfortunately, we've recently lost Dr. Ravenwood, the previous lead reporter to a nanite blizzard. Our other regular reports are Dolly, a grandmotherly southern lady, and rookie reporter, Rob Skythrust… commonly referred as Mr. Beefcake among his devoted fans.


If you'd like to get in touch with us here in the Crack Between Worlds, please remember that the shadow people are on strike. Do not stand in a dark corner chanting your message. Instead, you can put a coin under your tongue and think of mayonnaise. Alternatively, write, chisel, or paint your message onto a stick, burn said stick, then feed the ashes to the nearest pigeon.

  • Fern Frenzy: Reporter Rob’s Terrifying Encounter and Sentient Ferns Get the Nibbles
    Oct 2 2025

    Interesting Fact: Stick bugs are carnivorous. This fact is less interesting on planets where stick bugs remain smaller than the average hand. In the towering purple forests of an uninhabited planet in Universe 11, this fact is positively fascinating.

    As reporters Mito and Dolly grieve the death of their co-worker, they are forced to welcome the newest edition to the CBW Channel, Rob Skythrust. Join Mito, Dolly, and Rob as they investigate the crash site of a prison transport.

  • Cannibalism: The Hot New Teen Craze
    Oct 9 2025

    Interesting fact: pom-pons were invented in either 803 AD or 1932 depending on the universe in question. Originally used to intimidate opposing sports teams, cheerleaders would often use the fluttery texture to conceal weapons such as knives, maces, and small battle axes. During the game, cheerleaders would rustle their pom-poms, warning the opposition of what was to come. At the start of halftime, they would rush the stands while chanting war cries and swinging their weapons. After the Dolphin/Packers massacre of 2003, this traditional practice fell out of favor, as stadiums began selling team-branded spears.

    After Mito, Dolly, and Rob land in a penitentiary, they soon realize the situation is much, much worse than they initially expected. Zombies, basketballs, and witchcraft. Oh my!

    Oct 16 2025

    Interesting Fact: Windermere War College was originally founded by the Villain Association, a secretive guild dedicated to the elevation of evil and the scheming of plots both impressive and classy.

    As the VA rose to prominence in the multiverse, the quality of heroes, protagonists, and chosen ones consistently fell. To rectify this imbalance, the VA created a training school for any 16-22 year old interested in opposing them. Over time, enrollment requirements were loosened to allow the attendance of love interests, funny best friends, and academic rivals.

    As Mito, Dolly, and Rob investigate a pregnancy scandal the fire crotch epidemic, they hope for an interview with popular protagonist Indigo Glindingfail and her vicious dragon.
