Podcast creator and host Eric Molinsky worked in public radio at WNYC and NPR, but was drawn to podcasting because of the freedom it provided the host.[1][2] Molinsky deconstructs fantasy and science fiction stories and examines the real-world influences and implications.[3][4]
The podcast releases content on a bi-weekly basis and is an interview style or talk show format.[5][2] The podcast format has been described as documentary style or a non-fiction analysis of fictional works.[6][7]
Imaginary Worlds was on the 2016 list of best podcasts published by Business Insider.[8] The podcast was also a 2017 top pick by The Christian Science Monitor.[9] Charles Pulliam-Moore of Gizmodo included the podcast on a list of ten sci-fi and fantasy podcasts.[10] Miranda Sawyer of The Guardian recommended the podcast saying that "Eric Molinsky is a clever and generous host who knows his stuff, and, at their heart, these shows explore just why we need and want worlds that don't exist."[11]
