Over the weekend I always take some time to fill up my phone with podcasts in anticipation of the coming week. If you find yourself driving for hours a day and not sleeping enough at night, having access to stimulating audio content may just save your life. No pressure, podcast producers.
My apologies if you’ve already heard of Night Vale, it seems I’m a bit late to the party. If you are already a fan, please don’t post any spoilers in the comments section, and pay no attention to the hooded figures.
If you are not already a fan, then I must assume you haven’t heard the show yet. Here, try it out now: http://youtu.be/Ncv2jfbqXAU?t=10m5s
Assuming you just skipped past that link and kept reading, you are a heedless fool and don’t even deserve to know about Night Vale. Forget…forget…forget…
If I had to describe Welcome to Night Vale, briefly, I’d ask you to imagine a place where all the conspiracy theories and mythical creatures (the ones we skeptics love to debunk) all turn out to be real, and what is more, far from rare or well-hidden. Now imagine a radio station in that town, complete with a relaxed DJ, unseeable station management, and a mysterious hovering cat living in the men’s restroom. Alas, I’ve already said too much. If you never hear from me again, know that I lived a full and rich life, up until just now.
