Within the Wires

Within the Wires is an audio drama series in which the listener takes the role of a patient in a research institute who is issued a course of instructional relaxation cassette tapes, performed by Janina Matthewson.

Set within an alternate reality, “Within the Wires” tells stories in the guise of instructional audio programs. Season One, “Relaxation Cassettes,” is a 10 part scripted fiction podcast that takes the form of an audio course on full body relaxation issued by The Institute to you, (the listener) a nameless medical inmate. Who is this narrator? Is she relaying something more than just relaxation techniques, and is she to be trusted? And are there subliminal messages hidden within the music? As listeners move through the relaxation curriculum a deeper and more personal story unravels.

The series is produced by the team behind welcome_to_night_vale, featuring writing by Jeffrey Cranor and Janina Matthewson, original music by Mary Epworth, and is part of the Night Vale Presents network.
