Fetching Creativity
Storytelling
I’ve come to realize that storytelling is the thread running through nearly everything I do creatively.
Sometimes it’s told through words. Sometimes through illustration, design, sound, or interaction. The medium changes, but the goal remains the same: to create experiences that connect with people and leave them with something worth remembering.
These projects represent different chapters of that journey.

Podcast
Like many people during the pandemic, I found myself spending a lot of time in online meetings. After hearing “Who’s got the radio voice?” more times than I could count, I finally accepted the possibility that everyone might be talking about me.
So in 2020, Wilhelm Presents: Frightening Tales was born.
Inspired by classic radio dramas like The Creaking Door and The Whistler, and shaped by years spent reading bedtime stories to my son, the show became a place where I could combine storytelling, performance, sound design, and a lifelong love of the strange and unusual.
What started as a microphone purchased for work meetings evolved into a podcast, a YouTube channel, and a growing community of listeners who enjoy a good story told in the dark.
Listen… if you’re brave enough.
Writing
Somewhere along the way, I developed a love of writing. Horror is usually where I end up, but I’ve always been fascinated by stories in all their forms. Give me an interesting idea, a strange situation, or a question worth exploring, and sooner or later, I’ll start building a story around it.
Writing for Frightening Tales gave me an unexpected gift: an audience. Over the years, I’ve had listeners reach out to tell me a story kept them awake at night, gave them chills, made them laugh, or simply helped them escape the pressures of everyday life for a little while. Those messages mean more to me than they probably realize.
If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a firm believer in the power of story. Long before books, films, podcasts, or social media, people gathered around fires to share experiences, warnings, myths, and dreams. We’ve been telling stories for as long as we’ve been human.
Stories help us understand the world, connect with one another, and occasionally see ourselves from a different perspective. They’re one of the few things that can survive generations and still make someone feel something.
That’s a kind of magic worth preserving.
