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.

Villainette de Eville Finally Revealed?
Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Like cars and restaurants, the Michelle Tire Company is charged with rating prisons. Many people think the Super Super Super Max prisons were awarded their supers based on the security measures in place. While it is true that triple super prisons have extensive security measures, these penetentaries are actually rated on the quality of their food.
Mito and Rob chase Dolly’s tracker across the known universe. As they attempt to rescue her from the kidnappers, they find themselves inside a super super super max prison. Unfortunately for Mito, this isn’t any high security prison planet. This is the world that killed Dr. Ravenwood.

Evil-Doings Incorporated: Giving Back to the Community is the Responsibility of Every Humanoid
Thu, 26 Feb 2026 20:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Percival is the second most evil name throughout the history of Universe-7. The first is a tie between Agffjfkip and Mary-Jane.
Onomatologists don't know why some names tend to be more common among villains, but the phenomenon is hard to refute. One popular theory suggests that the names themselves attract evil like some sort of moral magnet. Another theory claims that anyone willing to name their child 'Percival' is obviously the kind of parent that kills all faith in humanity. Whatever the case, one thing is clear: Never give your social security number to a Percival.
Sparks fly as Mito, Dolly, and Rob arrive for their interview at Evil-Doings Incorporated. As they investigate the intern program, Dolly proves that it's never too late to fall in love.

Where Are They Now? Victims of Villainette de Eville Speak Out
Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Villainette de Eville singlehandedly reduced the carbon footprint of an entire planet. She accomplished this by turning every life-form into carbon munching slugs.
Villainette de Eville’s passion for the environment didn’t stop there. Over the course of her reign of terror, she’s turned factories into dragon-guarded castles, private planes into irritable swans, and locked 33 unscrupulous businessmen in a single port-a-potty. Truly, she is a paragon of environmentalism.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob visit a town cursed by Villainette de Eville. As they explore the unusually musical town, they find that not everyone is enjoying their new life.

Valentine’s Day Special: Cupid Declares War on Love
Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Marriage counseling is illegal in 37 universes. After the Czar of the Interdimensional Travel Bureau caught her son-in-law in bed with a Neo-Noctorian, she began Mothers Against Awful Marriages. MAAM became one of the most successful legislative campaigns in multiversal history.
MAAM pushed through several important laws, but are most known for their stance on marriage counseling. In a post-MAAM world, marriage counseling is seen as a war crime, and all marriage therapists are charged accordingly. MAAM’s official slogan declares “It’s doomed. Just divorce each other and get a pet to fill the void.”
Fresh from yet another temporal storm, Mito, Dolly, and Rob arrive to record the Valentine’s Day Special. Cupid has a message, and he isn’t playing around.

Hope: Dangerous Mind-Altering Substance or Life-Changing Prescription?
Thu, 05 Feb 2026 22:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Every business has attempted to sell the necessities of life, but the Pendulum Corporation is the only one in humanoid history to bottle an emotion.
Doctors prescribed Pendulum Brand Hope to millions of humanoids over the course of the corporation’s existence. Rumors of tax fraud brought imperial attention to the multi-trillion dollar company. After a lucrative twenty-year career, the CEO fled in the night to the Bermuda Octagon. His body was never recovered.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob visit the River Longing to record an exciting segment on Pendulum Brand Hope. After meeting a pair of curmudgeonly wish auditors, the reporters are forced to reevaluate their goals.

Teacher Reaches Breaking Point: You Won’t Believe What She Does Next!
Fri, 30 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Mobsters are an invasive species. Like pigeons, the mafia can be found across the multiverse. Unlike pigeons, these mobsters tend to be vaguely Italian, even on planets where there is no Italy.
A close relative of this species is known as the Bratva. These mobsters are Russian adjacent and have an instinctual fondness for vodka, despite the scarcity of potatoes after 4500 Universal Time. Fans of these species argue over which breed of mobsters makes the best love interest. Though there is no clear consensus, all agree biker gangs create the least alluring love interests.
Hate mail poured in after the reporters debuted on Love is Timeless, leading Dolly to question her faith in sentient life. Mito tries to cheer her up, while Rob bemoans his life.

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 22:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: Love is Timeless is the longest running show on the CBW Channel. This gameshow features a bachelor and three time-displaced singles. If chosen, they will be allowed to live in the decade of their date.
This gameshow was ultimately halted by the Galactic Police Force, when allegations of kidnapping arose. Allegedly, many of the contestants did not wish to leave their time, as they found their previous lives more fulfilling. The most egregious of these cases occurred when Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine won the show and found herself confined to the life of a barista. She then went on to raise an army, which took on the name Galactic Police Force.
After Mito, Dolly, and Rob Skythrust’s failure to interview the legendary Gnomish king Ganock Ganock, they find themselves hosting Love Is Timeless. All hate mail should be forwarded to Marketing. The CBW Channel is uncertain of their exact duties, so they might as well sort through threats, insults, and marriage proposals.

HOA: Vicious Monster or Harmless Parasite?
Thu, 15 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: The second Gnomish civil war on Earth-3 raged for 1241 standard days. Given the average gnome life span of ninety days, this equates to over 13 life spans and is proportionately the longest war of any species weighing less than eight ounces.
From the chaos, Ganock Ganock cut through the pretenders and claimed the throne of the Gnomish Gnom. He ushered in the Gnomish Golden Age, and is best known for the architectural marvels he commissioned beneath the pristine lawns of Pleasant Lane.
Unfortunately, the construction led to the collapse of several front yards. The HOA retaliated with rat poison. The Gnomish people saddled their moles once more and readied themselves for battle. This war proved short lived, as humans were ecstatic to learn of the existence of gnomes. Within hours, the HOA caved to public pressure and allowed the creation of a Gnomish sanctuary.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob set off for the first televised interview of Ganock Ganock. Navigational difficulties land them in the middle of a vicious neighborhood feud.

Harriet Pottery Tells All: 'You Know the One' Is Going Down!
Thu, 08 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: Disaster tourism is a pressing issue in Universe 256. According to the Inter-Dimensional Travel Bureau, Harriet Pottery’s battle with The Sorceress Who Shall Not Be Named has drawn over 10,000 curious time-hoppers. This makes it one of the most watched re-watched epic battles in history.
The ecological side effects were/will be devastating. Tourists camped out in the Enchanted Nature Preserve to get a good vantage point, which devastated the habitat of endangered wood fairies. Worse, the destruction of ground cover left the unicorns without their primary food source. With no other options, they turned to humanoid flesh. This has been exceedingly unfortunate for the nearby magical academy, as the unicorns refuse to return to a vegetarian diet.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob are sent to investigate Harriet Pottery’s epic battle. As they attempt to find the reclusive chosen one, they must contend with the legions of other reporters and tourists.

The Origin of Time: Temporal Crossroad or Tourist Trap?
Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: Chickens are strongly attracted to the color red. While chicken intelligence can vary across the multiverse, most species see red more vividly than other colors. This became a major problem when the Inter-Planetary Avian Beakball League began accepting chickens.
After the Great Scarlet Riot, all red uniforms were banned. This did not stop the chickens from swarming their goalie when one daring pelican chose to wear a red ankle band. The following skirmish killed two and led to the Blue Footed Boobies winning their first championship.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob celebrate the New Year at the origin of time itself. The museum docent, Mr. Bwacawk, attempts to teach viewers of the CBW channel about time.

Christmas Miracle! Yuletide Massacre Solved - 6K Dead Readers Receive Justice
Wed, 24 Dec 2025 15:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: The Yuletide Massacre had long-lasting consequences in Neo-Noctoria and the second Glundark Empire. Over 6000 avid literature enthusiasts disappeared one Christmas morning. This devastating tragedy led to a backlash against literacy, librarians, and the written word.
In the century after the Yuletide Massacre, storytelling was seen as immensely unlucky. All fairytales, fables, and fantysteries were henceforth condensed into four line poems. Longer stories were allowed to exist as summaries under 500 syllables, but were not allowed inside the home. This led to the creation of “cursed sheds” where summaries could be stored without infecting the household with bad luck.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob investigate the Yuletide Massacre. As they attempt to discover the culprit, these brave reporters must race against the clock to escape before the tragedy begins.

Interview with Tayla Quick: “I Really Wish You Hadn’t Done That”
Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Tayla Quick, the beloved singer, song-writer and musician from Universe 56, holds the record for most consecutive chart-topping albums. During her twenty year career, she released thirty-seven albums, which encompassed 592 songs.
Tayla Quick has won awards in a multitude of categories, including country, cyber-rock, and synth folk. This has garnered passionate fans from all corners of Universe 56. At their height, the aptly named ‘Quicklies’ were so numerous as to begin the Bleckforth Revolution, which overthrew the 98th emperor of Yeltzberg. Although her last album was pulled from the shelves before its release, this collection of Christmas carols is rumored to be a currency of the universal black market.
After the harrowing events of the last episode, reporters Mito, Dolly, and Rob are sent to interview the phenomenal Tayla Quick. Although many listeners are excited to hear about Ms. Quick’s Christmas album, this episode has been confiscated by the authorities while they investigate the allegations. Anyone with knowledge of Ms. Quick’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact the emergency hotline.

Breaking! CBW Reporters Missing in Action
Thu, 11 Dec 2025 22:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: Geese are psychopaths. Breed, home planet, and reality make no difference. Geese lack the capacity for empathy and altruism. While they are capable of functioning within flocks, this pro-social behavior can only be maintained if there is a foreign enemy to plot against.
Some biologists argue that all bird brains are too underdeveloped for the human concept of empathy, however that has been repeatedly proved false. Corvids, such as crows and ravens, often show empathy as fledglings and are conditioned out of it. In contrast, pigeons have on average 206% the empathy of humans. This makes them incredibly susceptible to charismatic leaders, totalitarian governments, and geese.
After a temporal storm blows Mito, Dolly, and Rob off course, the three reporters find themselves stranded on Planet Peter. Fortunately, the human rebellion is looking for recruits to fight against the avian overlords.

Orpheus in the Underworld: Crazed Romantic or Dating Coward?
Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:00:00 -0600
Interesting fact: The descent of Orpheus into the underworld has been widely dispersed amongst the multiverse, but it has only happened in one reality. Anthropologists are uncertain as to is how this story has spread, but its proliferation is undeniable.
The tale of Orpheus and his legendary love for Eurydice has transcended myth and vocal tradition. It has been retold through opera, stage plays, radio shows, and glopknick ice-dancing. The melodic melancholy of Orpheus is thought to have inspired the infamous pocket-poet Thumbelina, whose striking ballads prompted Worlds War 12.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob Skythrust journey through the Underworld to interview one of the greatest musicians of all time. Join the CBW team as they investigate OSHA violations and Orpheus’ unusual preoccupation with matrimony.

Thanksgiving Doom: Extra-Man Threatens Innocent Billionaire
Wed, 26 Nov 2025 11:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Pumpkins are psychic. Dr. Jackol Antern first discovered this in 4482, Universe 6, but it has since been corroborated among scientists across the multiverse. All pumpkins larger than a humanoid thumb are psychic.
Botanists have yet to discover why pumpkins develop psychic abilities, especially given the utter normality of the vines themselves. The most popular theory suggests the psychic powers are used to deter predators. Pumpkins do not naturally ripen into various shades of orange, instead they project colors onto weak minds, potentially hoping the bright colors will make them seem dangerous. This has not stopped the annual pumpkin massacre, where pumpkins are mercilessly slaughtered, disemboweled, and baked into pies. To suppress pumpkin rebellion, many humanoids now decorate their porches with the hollow, desecrated corpses of former pumpkin leaders.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob accidentally switch assignments with the Epic Battle Announcers. While the three reporters are eager to go ahead with the interview Extra-Man has a few qualms.

Boy in the Bunker: I Am Not Bee Vomit
Thu, 20 Nov 2025 22:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: Only 33 truly apocalyptic events have occurred in the known multiverse. Commonly imagined causes like nuclear fallout, flesh-eating bacteria, and atmospheric removal are not as efficient at destroying worlds as most beings believe.
Aside from obliterating a planet into chunks the size of ping-pong balls, it's nearly impossible to wipe out all life on a given world. Scientists have no explanation for the multiverse's stubborn refusal to admit defeat. Somehow, life always seems to find a way.
When Mito, Dolly, and Rob Skythrust land on a barren world, they have no choice but to investigate the strange boy in the bunker.
Sir Bruce the Dragon-Slayer: Interview With a Reformed Love Interest
Thu, 13 Nov 2025 18:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: 40% of dragons are vegetarians, and a further 8% claim to be pescatarians. The Inter-dimensional Society for Dragon Welfare conducted this survey, and no other studies have been concluded. Biologists, archaeologists, and other naysaying elitists refuse to continue research in this area, despite 'strong doubts' about the honesty of this study. Allegedly, there were concerns over the multiple universities that caught fire shortly after challenging the academic integrity of the IDSD.
Mito, Dolly, and Rob Skythrust journey to the heart of the mountains to interview the legendary Sir Bruce the Dragon-Slayer. After the exciting tell-all the magnificent heroine interrupts Robs ongoing existential crisis to lay down her hard-won wisdom.
Breaking News: Time Hoppers Banned By Inter-Dimensional Travel Bureau
Thu, 06 Nov 2025 18:00:00 -0600
Interesting Fact: The inter-dimensional travel bureau has no origin. They have always existed, or possibly never existed at all. Anthropologists theorize the ITDB may have begun as the Mothers Against Time Travel Movement, but historians call that laughable. Anthropologists then called the historians 'cute.' Hostilities escalated when the historians levied accusations of grave-robbing. The resulting feud had claimed thousands of lives and wreaked untold devastation on the multiverse. The ITDB has/will declined to comment.
After the disastrous events of the previous episode, Mito, Dolly, and Rob are forced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the CBW channel in the cramped studio. Join Rob Skythrust as he discusses time travel bans, career advice among dragons, and the origin of the Crack itself.
Halloween Special: Local Celebrity Meets One True Love
Thu, 30 Oct 2025 15:00:00 -0500
Interesting Fact: Of all the locations in the multiverse, Ireland varies most from reality to reality. While countries like England and China tend to have commonalities with their counterparts, the Emerald Isle tends to be drastically different. Mainstays like accent, technological advancement, and culture rarely have any similarities to other Irelands. This phenomenon is also seen in Wales, Basque, and Venice.
After Mito, Dolly, and Rob land in the verdant hills of what can only be described as Vaguely Ireland, they find a charming village where nothing ever seems to happen. Sure, it might be Halloween, but love is in the air.
Frankenstein’s Big Discovery: Doctors Don’t Want You to Know This Life-Changing Health Hack
Thu, 23 Oct 2025 20:00:00 -0500
Interesting Fact: Necromancers hate reanimation. It is written in the bylaws of the Necromancy Guild and in the oath all junior necromancers must swear. The exact reason has been lost to time, but it might have something to do with the reanimators undercutting prices. When handling the dead, you get what you pay for. Any fool with sufficient lightning and formaldehyde can reanimate a corpse. It takes power to summon the dead to pick up your dry-cleaning.
The CBW reporters travel to Universe 13, where Mito gets road rash, Dolly goes sightseeing, and Rob goes grave-robbing.
Pregnant and Stabby: Scandal at Windlemere War College
Thu, 16 Oct 2025 15:00:00 -0500
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.
Cannibalism: The Hot New Teen Craze
Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:00:00 -0500
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!
Fern Frenzy: Reporter Rob’s Terrifying Encounter and Sentient Ferns Get the Nibbles
Thu, 02 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0500
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.
