TWL 904: A Wicked Fairy Tale

The Librarian brings you a dark tale of a young man who manages to use his lack of fear to interesting results.

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

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.
