TW 4: Talking Wicked with Nico Vettese

This week on Talking Wicked, at long last, thanks to the new format, I bring on one of my favorite people on the planet and the person most responsible for the sound and texture of the show, composer Nico Vettese of We Talk of Dreams. Nico now works for multiple other shows, and shares his journey.

We talk about how Nico comes up with the soundscapes he creates for The Wicked Library and The Lift, what it's like finding your voice, the terror and reward of following your true path, and much more. Get a rare look behind the scenes to learn a bit about how the episodes come together and what makes Nico such a popular composer for multiple podcasts.

Host / Producer / Showrunner: Daniel Foytik

Get your copy of Nico's EP, Building Blocks, as well as his other albums, and maybe even hire him to write music or edit your podcast.

TPC 102: The Private Collector “The Night the Bible Let Me Down”, by Aaron Vlek

Frank Enfield has a new assignment from the Librarian. This time, it’s a trip, under the cover of darkness, to retrieve the Packard Clan’s Family Bible which is much more than it seems.

TPC 101: The Private Collector “The Library on The Other Side of Town”, by Aaron Vlek

Cartwright and Enfield Detective Agency had shuttered its doors under what they call “mysterious circumstances”. After a catastrophic destruction of their offices in Manhattan, with the Cartwright half of the equation missing and presumed dead, Frank Enfield winds up in Bellevue. Once he gets out things get even stranger.

TW 2: Talking Wicked with Christopher Long

This week on Talking Wicked, Christopher Long visits the Library to talk about last week's story Episode 902:  "The Man in Number 23".

We also discuss his novel Fluff, how ideas for horror stories come to us, the writing process, Quentin Tarantino cameos, and how inscribing a book with your actual signature might be a bad idea.

TWL 902: “The Man in Number 23”, by Christopher Long

Who knows what your neighbors are really up to behind closed doors? One man learns the horrible truth that his neighbor has seen . . . and comes to learn that terror is not limited to under the sea. It is far, far closer than you could ever imagine.

TW 1: Talking Wicked with Meg Hafdahl

We also discuss Meg's upcoming work, Daughters of Darkness - the sequel to Her Dark Inheritance, as well as her first non-fiction book, The Science of Monsters, which  she coauthored with her best friend.
