What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

There’s something comforting about having someone read a story to you. If you loved LeVar Burton Reads—and if you didn’t listen to that, may I enthusiastically encourage you to check that out, too—then you’ll love “It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton,” which is very capably carrying the torch for short science fiction with some fantastic story selections read by everyone’s favorite Traveler, Wesley Crusher—er, I mean Wil Wheaton. I’m hard pressed to pick a favorite, so do yourself a favor and just listen to them all.

Jeffrey A. Ricker · May 2025

If you’re like me and you would listen to Wil Wheaton narrate the back of a cereal box, then this podcast is for you. He’s reading short stories that he’s clearly thoughtfully selected from interesting authors. I look forward to another season, which I hope will be sooner rather than later.

CarolinaBlueBerry · May 2025

Wil’s an accomplished audiobook narrator, and one of my favorites, so I was thrilled to hear he was launching a podcast in which he would read us stories. The selection is excellent, as is the performance, of course.

smolbird · May 2025

Wil Wheaton is one of my all-time favorite narrators and his story choices and performances for this podcast are a treat.
