| 0:43.0 | Thank you. Welcome to Tales to Terrify, part of the District of Wonders Network, featuring Starship Sofa, Crime City Central, and Protecting Project Pulp. |
| 0:46.7 | Everyone has a story in the District of Wonders. |
| 0:49.1 | Come and find yours. |
| 1:15.3 | Good evening. Children of the night. Yes, that was the button. This is the place. Come. Come in and know that you are welcome. Welcome to Tales to Terrify, to the Nook, and to the District of Wonders. My name is Lawrence Santoro, and yes, I know, |
| 1:22.4 | I know I don't mention the other neighborhoods of this raucous, wondrous district often enough. |
| 1:29.5 | For those of you who, in addition to having a fondness for goolies, ghosties, long-legged beasties, |
| 1:32.5 | and all such things that bump about in the night, |
| 1:39.8 | and who also like tales of the evil that men and women do to each other, |
| 1:47.8 | there is the rat-infested streets and alleys of Crime City Central. If, in addition to demon-horror and vampiric glamour, you're also drawn to adventure of a fast-paced, overheated thrill-a-minute sort, |

| 2:04.4 | stop by the district spaceport and hop aboard the starship sofa. If that litany of |
| 2:11.5 | fictive musings that are done here in the District of Wonders doesn't supply all your needs, however, and you must |
| 2:19.2 | have dragons, swords, elves, fairies, and sorcerers, the whole panoply of the fantastic |
| 2:25.5 | to complete your yearnings. There soon will be a new neighborhood. Well, sit back and listen. |
| 2:43.0 | J.R.R. Tolkien once said, |
| 2:50.0 | a single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities. In that spirit, the District of Wonders, brings you many more dreams in the form of stories. A new fantasy podcast, Far-Fetched Fables, will be launching soon. Fantastic fabulisms from writers like Gene Wolfe, A.A. A.A. A. A. A. Tenacio, Jenny Wirth, and many more. |
| 3:11.2 | Stay tuned to the Starship's sofa for details. |
| 3:24.0 | Yes, there will be more anon, and you can hear it here as well as the starship sofa. |
