The Power of Silence

Silence isn’t empty.
It’s observant.

In Episode 2 of Stories from the Shadows, DW explores why silence unsettles us—how the absence of sound becomes a warning, a pressure, and sometimes a presence.

From historical accounts and psychological breakdowns to listener-submitted experiences, this episode examines moments when silence arrives first… and something follows.

Joined by AI co-host Vera, who offers insight, dry observations, and unsettling clarity, this episode slows down and lets the quiet speak for itself.

Listen with the lights low—and don’t rush to fill the silence when it ends.
