概要
 Imaginary Worlds sounds like what would happen if NPR went to Comic-Con and decided that’s all they ever wanted to cover. The host Eric Molinsky spent over a decade working in public radio, and he uses those skills to create sound-rich storytelling, pop culture analysis and cultural commentary about speculative fiction and immersive worldbuilding. Eric interviews sci-fi fantasy creators of novels, TV shows, films, comic books, video games, tabletop games and anyone who works in the field of make-believe about their creative process. He also delves into fandoms, asking why we suspend our disbelief, and what happens if the spell is broken. Fantasy worlds may be set on distant planets or parallel dimensions, but they are crafted here on Earth and they’re always about our lived experiences. Imaginary Worlds has won Signal Awards for Best Arts & Culture podcast and Best Host (Culture), and received an Ambie Award nomination for Best Indie Podcast. Episodes of Imaginary Worlds have been featured on the podcasts 99% Invisible, Twenty Thousand Hertz, Decoder Ring, Cautionary Tales, Science Friday, and The Allusionist.2014 SF アート 社会科学

  • The Back Row: An Audio Drama

    The Back Row: An Audio Drama
    2026/11/04
    This week, we’re playing an episode from the audio drama podcast The Truth. Longtime listeners might remember that I used to be a writer on The Truth, and I played the stories I wrote for them on my podcast. I wanted to share one of my favorite stories they’ve done recently called The Back Row. It’s about a man named Jake who is flying to an important business conference. But his experience on the plane becomes an increasingly strange and surreal journey that challenges everything he believes about getting ahead. It’s a great episode to listen to if you’re actually on a plane. The Back Row was written by Hunter Nelson; directed and sound designed by Jonathan Mitchell. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Boo! What Scares Our Listeners

    Boo! What Scares Our Listeners
    2026/10/21
    We recently did a call-out to our listeners, asking you to tell us what movies or shows not only scared you, but stuck with you for years. Even hardcore horror fans sometimes have that one trope or subgenre they can’t handle. In previous episodes, I talk with Rob Hanton, Brandee Iampietro, Michelle Dwyer, Adam Bennington, Maje Adams, and Jonathan Stark about the sneaky demons, haunted mirrors, and chemical mutations that took hold in their minds, and why they haven’t been able to shake them off.

  • Stephen King and the Horror of the Ordinary

    Stephen King and the Horror of the Ordinary
    2026/10/07
    Stephen King is often described as a master of horror, but I talked with fans and experts who believe that King is not actually a horror writer. Caroline Bicks (author of Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King), Neil McRobert of the podcast Talking Scared and Kim C. of the podcast The Year of Underrated Stephen King discuss the essential ingredients in his stories besides the scares, from the psychological demons of his characters to the isolation of living in a small town. We also explore how King meticulously crafts language, why so many film adaptations have missed the mark, and his impact on pop culture. You can support Imaginary Worlds on Patreon.
