Host

Jay Hutchins is the host of Edges of Elsewhere, a podcast that dives deep into the strange, the speculative, and the storytelling that dares to imagine otherwise. With a deep love for genre fiction—especially sci-fi, fantasy, and anything that bends the boundaries of reality—Jay brings curiosity, critical insight, and heart to every conversation. His passion for narrative runs deep, rooted in a belief that genre stories aren’t just escapism—they’re blueprints for possibility.

Each episode of Edges of Elsewhere centers fresh voices in speculative fiction, elevating emerging creators alongside established names. Jay thrives on uncovering what’s hidden between the lines: the worldbuilding choices, character arcs, and cultural threads that shape the tales we tell. Whether interviewing authors, exploring the craft of storytelling, or examining the themes that linger long after the final page, Jay guides listeners through the wild frontiers of imagination with wonder and care.

In addition to hosting Edges of Elsewhere, Jay is the founder of Worlds Within Reach, a creative venture dedicated to storytelling, community, and bringing bold ideas to life. Across all of his work, Jay is driven by a desire to understand the human experience—what motivates us, what connects us, and what we carry with us through change. Whether behind the mic or building something new, Jay’s mission is simple: to spark deeper conversations that leave people feeling seen, understood, and a little more human.
