Everly Heights Tales episodes

October 26 The Fakist Spooky Everly Heights Treats (No Tricks)
The Fakist might be dead, but the team behind the story lives on! Join us for two original stories from our audio drama Everly Heights Tales, an anthology set in a nostalgic Ohio town called Everly Heights.
Everly Heights, Ohio—where the past clings like smoke, and every escape route loops you back to Main Street. In each standalone episode of this scripted anthology, you’ll hear stories set in Everly Heights about growing up, breaking down, and being pulled back to where it all began.
Equal parts quirky and tender, these stories drift between the uncanny and the everyday—haunted theaters, fractured families, strange friendships, and the kind of hometown lore that follows you long after you’ve left. Everly Heights Tales is funny until it’s tragic, ordinary until it’s not, and always ready to remind you that leaving doesn’t mean you won’t be back.

June 11 The Best Chance Detective Agency: Danny Chance Starts Up

Thirteen-year-old Danny Duplas is tired of being just a normal kid. Armed with a metric "ship ton" of dust-covered Hardy Boys books and a signboard in his dad's driveway, he rebrands himself as "Danny Chance, the boy detective with the freaky good luck." From a Swiss Army knife buried in a box of Super Mario cereal to a whirlwind encounter with national media icon "Ask Marilyn" vos Savant, Danny outsmarts local delinquents in a bid to earn his cynical cop father's respect. Danny Chance is on the case.
NEXT TIME: Years later, Danny Chance is all out of gas and stuck in his dad's driveway. When his former partner returns in shame, a childhood promise forces them to confront changing times, a fractured legacy, and a nostalgic secret.

May 20 Zarvan's Time Repair
Twenty-four years old and sleeping on his sister Aurora's couch, Jeremy Hahn is exactly the kind of guy who needs a miracle. What he gets is Zarvan, a clock shop owner who may or may not be a cosmic entity, and an offer that sounds insane: go back to 2016, find the moment the whole thing went sideways, and put it right. But one choice leads to others, and as Jeremy takes a speed run at a new future, he begins to wonder if the past is best left in the past, after all.
After the story, creator Bill Meeks pulls back the curtain on the real Los Angeles storefront that inspired Zarvan’s shop, the obscure Canadian sci-fi series that gave him the story engine, and how this episode weaves together threads from across the Everly Heights universe as the last few pieces snap into place.
NEXT TIME: In a small town, gossip isn’t actually A Secret to Everybody.

April 10 Infinite Tina: Let's Get Singular
The woman hunting Tina Infantino across the multiverse has a singular grudge, and she's not backing down. Between a infinite shopping mall, a frozen wasteland with a chilling message, and a full-scale breach inside W.E.I.R.D.E. headquarters itself, Tina's running out of room to figure out what she's supposed to be. A girl who's spent her whole life feeling small finds out she might be anything but. The thrilling origin of Infinite Tina concludes!
After the story, creator Bill Meeks brings in voice actress Mandy McCullough where she finally answers "what makes up a Mandy." She also shares her kid perspective on malls like the one Tina visits in this episode.

April 07 Infinite Tina: Welcome to W.E.I.R.D.E.
With Ken gone and the guilt eating her alive, Tina takes Jim Colvin up on an offer that sounds a lot like a job: join W.E.I.R.D.E., save the multiverse, and maybe find her friend along the way. A whirlwind tour of the strangest headquarters in Everly Heights introduces her to a crew of weirdos she didn't know she needed. Then a punk rock troll with a blowtorch takes her along for a field assignment on the wrong side of the multiverse, where someone familiar is waiting for her.
In the aftershow, Bill Meeks brings back voice actress Mandy McCullough for another Saturday morning discussion. They get into cereal loyalty, the multiverse destination Mandy would actually want to visit (she has conditions), and the strange legacy of the Pizza Hut lunch buffet.
NEXT TIME: The multiverse is unraveling, W.E.I.R.D.E. is under siege, and Tina Infantino is the only one who can stop what's coming. No big deal. INFINITE TINA PART 3: LET'S GET SINGULAR.

April 01 Infinite Tina: Worlds Apart
In the fallout of a digital betrayal that’s made her a middle school pariah, Tina meets Ken Sako at the Dixon Park swingset for a big talk, and maybe a fresh start. But something they find in the sand has been waiting for a lonely kid just like Ken, and the friendship that was holding him in Everly Heights is on life support. After a world-weary waitress at Gaston's points them toward a mysterious man named Jim Colvin, the two friends discover that the Ometahedron can offer Ken something Everly Heights can't: a clean slate. Ken finally has an option better than computer club, and he’s ready to take it. But can Tina stop him before their friendship disappears?
After the story, creator Bill Meeks brings in voice actress Mandy McCullough for a Saturday morning aftershow that's part craft talk, part 90s nostalgia therapy session. They dig into the era's design DNA, weird Prince jokes on Animaniacs, and how Mandy became a voice actor. She also shares what it's like returning to Bill's Everly Heights universe across multiple characters and productions.
NEXT TIME: Tina gets a part time job and learns to love the multiverse in INFINITE TINA PART 2: WELCOME TO W.E.I.R.D.E.
