What happens when your loyal listeners hand you three words—redemption, superfluous, and resigned—and demand a freestyle audio drama? It leads to a dark spiral, trippy dreams, and an exhausting battle against an unbeatable creative block.



Join York as he recounts the journey to make good on a promise, only to find his own foundation slipping. He sought guidance from a therapist who looks suspiciously like a miniaturized, rude, and pipe-smoking Gandalf. The rude reality delivered by this unconventional shrink forces a profound question: Do we have to fulfill every single promise we make, or is that effort simply... superfluous?



​Listen to this bonus episode to hear the unexpected, often humorous, and deeply relatable struggle of a storyteller pushing to his creative limit, complete with an existential grocery store encounter and a crucial lesson on knowing when to let go. You’ll also hear the original challenge words from listeners Steve Webb, Timothy from Create Art Podcast, and James Ray. The episode you’ve been waiting for is not what you expect.



York is now taking time off to think about the show's future, so don't miss this one.

Every good thing comes to an end.



This statement may be overused but it's true.



In this special episode you'll hear about the potential conclusion, not of the universe or reality itself but of my time with you. I'm trying not to spoil everything in the show description so consider this a tease.



Writing and producing fictional audio dramas is a dream come true. Since 2017 I have been creating stories after stories, and I've also been producing shows for other podcasters.



I thank you for giving me the opportunity to share these wild tales and I thank my Saviour Jesus Christ for giving me the strength to continue the show during the dark chapters of my life.



Oops, I may have said too much in this "tease" so before I get carried away hit play and send me a message on X (@Poeticearthling) and let me know what you think.



If you want to take part in the freestyle episode, please record your random word along with your name and town or city you live in. I'm going to take your random word and turn it into a freestyle episode. I know that sounds scarry. Record your message on Speakpipe.com/welcometoearthstories.

Can two wounded soldiers survive when their only path to freedom is to rely on their bitter enemy?







In the explosive conclusion of this two-part sci-fi audio drama, "Siege of Covenant City," Lieutenant North (Green) and Commander Marshall (Blue) are trapped in the war-torn ruins of Jubilee Fields. Covered in mud, their true allegiance is obscured, and their vital signs are fading fast. Their one chance at survival, disarming a massive, armed explosive, requires them to work together. But to do so, they must overcome a primal, tribal hatred that has defined their lives. Tune in to see if they can find common ground and their "true colours" before the clock runs out, or if their ingrained beliefs will be their final undoing.



Welcome to Earth Stories is an audio drama anthology that blends mystery and wonder, hosted and produced by York.

Will Eddie uncover Julia's true intentions before it's too late? 



After a frantic escape from the party, highlighted by Julia's reckless driving and the discovery of a sinister tracker on their car, Eddie's world shatters as Julia reveals her true identity as Mika Swan, an International Security Intelligence (ISI) agent. Their entire relationship, she admits, was a cover to leverage his unique recording abilities for a high-stakes mission.



Now, Julia urgently needs Eddie's latest recording of the elusive JL Hubert, whom she exposes as the dangerous kingpin behind a vast drug and human smuggling operation. As JL's men quickly surround Eddie's technologically advanced, highly secured home, complete with night vision cameras and multiple backup systems, Eddie is forced to confront the truth about Julia's deception. 



Can Eddie reconcile her betrayal with her desperate plea for his trust, especially as she insists her developing feelings for him are real? And will his "vintage" 1967 Mustang, hidden escape route, and unexpected ingenuity be enough to outsmart their attackers, survive a deadly siege, and bring down a criminal mastermind? 



The thrilling conclusion promises high-speed chases, unexpected alliances, and a revelation that will forever change Eddie's understanding of his place in the world.



Julia was performed by Emily Inkpen, JL was performed by Oral Brooks, and an extra special performance by York's wife Valrica. Buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/earthstories.

Hold onto your interdimensional hats, earthlings! Josh and I are going headfirst into two voicemails about York's vanishing act – one from a poutine-obsessed government worker tangled with 10th-dimensional beings, and another from an astrophysicist convinced of York's vibing in a hyper-dimension!



(Seriously, Josh, stop calling him an astrologist!). 



We'll also spin a classic York episode, '1800 Life Coach,' where a trusted counselor starts tripping out in strange ways.



Think string theory, cosmic kidnappings, and questionable Canadian politics – it's a proper Earth Stories doozy!

Something is reaching out from beyond our reality—and it’s using a language we don’t understand. 



When cryptic beeps hijacked our phones, we uncovered a desperate plea hidden in Morse Code: 



“Help I’ve been taken by 10th dimensional beings”



Is this an alien abduction? A glitch in the fabric of existence? 



Or something far stranger?

York is gone. But where?



On this emergency episode Josh and I are cutting through the endless misinformation and puzzling clues surrounding the sudden disappearance and alleged kidnapping of York Campbell. 



Was his recent controversial episode, Escape from Wokeville, a step too far, leading to his abduction?



Or is something more uncanny at play, something eerily similar to his own fictional tales, especially with no blood or stolen items found at the scene? 



We even received a mysterious voicemail of beeps! Is it a political conspiracy, an alien encounter, or could it all be... staged? Join us as we try to make sense of the senseless.

In a city turned upside down by urban warfare, a cry for help to the Wokeville Police is met with unusual questions rather than immediate assistance.



Escape is the only option as our main character is pursued by the authorities. Out from nowhere a mysterious voice from an underground rebellion offers unexpected aid. 



What is the true nature of Wokeville and its police? 



Will the escape succeed, or is the underground rebellion part of a larger plot?
