WELCOME TO THE FOLD.

Midst is an immersive, semi-improvised, sci-fantasy podcast recounted by a trio of playfully omniscient and unreliable narrators about complicated antiheroes making bad decisions in a world on the edge of disaster. 

Engage your imagination in this highly original setting using a unique storytelling style, distinctive audio, and lightly animated visual accompaniments to help ground you in this bizarre, space-western world. 

New episodes of Midst are available every Wednesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Critical Role YouTube channel! You can binge the entirety of Seasons 1 and 2 right now, but if you want to unlock more episodes, bonus content, AND support the story, we invite you to Join the Fold!

The small desert planet of Midst spins on the border between two halves of the cosmos: the dazzling Un and the mysterious Fold. Life is simple for most of the planet’s inhabitants… until an influential civilization known as the Trust takes an interest in Midst and sparks an unexpected chain of events, intertwining the lives of three complicated antiheroes. Also, unrelated to any of that, Midst’s moon is about to fall out of the sky and cause reality to eat itself alive, so that’s not great either. Unsolved murders, cult brainwashing, and supernatural darkness all combine to create a clusterfuck of cosmic proportions.

Join us, won’t you?

The Narrators

TWO THINGS ARE CLEAR:

They're not from around here. And they know more than they're letting on.

Less clear, on the other hand, is their relationship to all of this. Astute listeners, picking up on several infinitesimal clues in the compiled materials, have occasionally suggested that Midst is not actually a true story, but rather a massive multimedia deception fabricated as some kind of twisted exercise in creative self-expression. Or maybe it’s interdimensional field journalism. Maybe it’s both. Or neither. In any case, the whole thing is probably part of some larger agenda.
