About
Weird Waves is a curated radio play and audiobook archive of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and weird fiction! Find shows in the Archive, check or re-order your queue in the Booth, and listen to them in the player. Have fun!
The Archive contains series and shows.
Content notes
The Archive has content notes for individual shows where I think they need them, but there's a few general ones: death and worse fates, and implicit bigotry in the older series. I rejected anything truly awful, but the ones I did pick are still products of their time.
Font credits
The serif font is Bitter by Sol Matas.
The sans-serif font is Fira Sans by Carrois Type Design.
The code font is Fira Mono by Carrois Type Design.
Streaming
Want to use Weird Waves in your own video or audio livestreams? Here are some tips on how to convert it into an on-screen widget (for video) and advice on copyright (for either). Make sure you check the main Settings too!
Making a widget
If you use OBS or any app based on it, then you can add Weird Waves to your stream in a few easy steps.
- Create a browser source.
- Set its URL to
https://weirdwaves.net/
. - Delete its default custom CSS.
- Right-click it and select “Interact” to use it just like you are now.
Make the audio player easier to crop by adding this custom CSS:
#player-container {
margin-block: 100vh;
}
Customise the theme by setting it to “Dark” in Settings, adding this custom CSS, and writing in your chosen colour values:
[data-theme="dark"] {
--fore-colour: (your foreground colour);
--back-colour: (your background colour);
--hot-colour: (your hot colour);
--cold-colour: (your cold colour);
}
Customise the font by setting it to “Serif” in Settings, adding this custom CSS, and writing the name of any font installed on your computer (if it includes spaces, wrap it in quotes, e.g. "Comic Sans"
):
[data-font="serif"] {
--font-stack: (your font);
}
Copyright?
Getting the easy answes out of the way first: All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. The copyright status of old radio broadcasts is murky, but virtually any person or organisation who could press a claim is long dead or gone, and almost nobody cares about the atom-thin penny shavings you'd make from streaming ancient, commercially-irrelevant radio broadcasts on Twitch.
If you're still concerned, switch on the following toggle to exclude certain series when adding random shows or the entire archive to the queue: CAS selection, The Mercury Theatre, Mindwebs, Nightfall, and Seeing Ear Theater.
Some of these (The Mercury Theatre and Nightfall) are muted on Twitch due to copyright claims. The others are possible, but unconfirmed, risks.
