NEW SUPPORTER!

Welcome to Earth Stories is a surreal sci-fi show where short, crafted tales collide with reality.

Each episode is twisted, thoughtful, and unpredictable. You’ll hear government cover-ups, hyperdimensional cubes, and versions of yourself you haven’t met yet.

The stories are obscure, emotional, and sometimes unsettling.

If you're a fan of Black Mirror and the Twilight Zone, then consider this their love child.

To listen and follow the show, go to Welcometoearthstories.com
