So far, my favorite episode is the Sandstorm. I like the show they way it is, having the weather be music just made sense to me given the logic of the show. Strangely enough, one of my friends found you guys without me even telling her about it. Spooky!

Sooo, I love this sort of story, strange mysterious happenings and all. Are there any other podcasts like this one out there? Or is Night Vale alone in its creepy funny near perfection?

Podcasts are pretty much all dominated by interviews, stand-up, and hosted shows. I'm surprised radio drama hasn't returned yet.

There's some radio drama ranging from not bad to slightly above terrible out there but they have spotty update schedules.

Okay I've never listened to a podcast before. I noticed I can listen to each episode in quicktime through firefox. But is there a way I can listen to these on my iphone? It'd be cool to lay down and listen to these at night.

While it is sketch based vs ongoing story and was a radio show, you may want to see if you can track down any of Chris Morris's "Blue Jam" work. There is a bunch of the skits on youtube and I believe the bbc had it up for download some time back. Similar horror as comedy type stuff with downtempo and triphop soundtracks, strange monologues and odd skits. The whole thing has a very dreamlike quality to it.

Plus, with iTunes you can open up the track options and tell it to treat it like a music or audiobook file rather than a podcast, so it won't disappear after you've listened to it once.

My favorite part of this latest episode is when Cecil gets angry with himself for forgetting the basic info from transdimensional migration[?] studies. I want to take that course.

Do you think there's any chance of getting an occasional Desert Bluff episode? I kind of want to know more about their terrifying Big Pharma run town.

I'd be really curious to see if (Episode 19 A/B Spoilers) The Horror-version of Desert Bluffs the Cecil saw after he went through the portal was the real version, or if his perceptions were being twisted. I could see it being either way.

Soooo... Is it that despite its sinister appearance and paranoia, Night Vale is actually pretty much the "good" town, where as Desert Bluffs is filled with corporate psychopaths who seem pleasant but make decorations out of their victims? Cause after someone pointed it out the office... Yeah... Thought it was from the desert bluff intern double who gashed her head open and that Cecil was just freaking out, but yeah that doesn't add up.

Holy crap this is good I just found this thread. I'm only on episode 5 now but it just keeps getting better and better. I really liked the episode about the stations management and the weather reports are always worth listening too. Thanks for this.

I like to think of it this way: each town in this reality has it's own founding Elder God, so the towns follow the theme of the God that resides buried deep under the town. EDIT: Man those Desert Bluffs themes were really good, the second one with the accordian was especially great. Dreadwroth fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Apr 4, 2013 |

This is amazing. I had intended on listening to one episode per night while I got caught up, but I find myself going through three or four every night. It's a fantastic, if slightly unsettling, way to relax before bed. Thank you so much for this podcast.

I do think that the voicemail from Carlos has been the only real misstep so far. No offense to whoever did Carlos's lines (Joseph?), but I got a couldn't-get-another-voice-actor-in-time vibe from it. It definitely didn't match up with how Carlos had been described, but maybe that was intentional, like maybe Night Vale's impression of Carlos is completely off. Kevin, on the other hand, was great, and I look forward to more from Desert Bluffs.

Cecil is head over heels for Carlos, so it makes sense that everything he reads about him is this idealized version of Carlos.

We originally did it with Lou of Lou Reads The Internet, who has a great voice, but we decided that Carlos was such a major character we wanted to keep his voice with someone who could be called up to do it last second at any point. It was actually Cecil who recommended Jeffrey, and I agree with him. Jeffrey has this great "expert" voice that I think works perfectly.

Listening to the Pilot episode now. Seems cool so far. Does it have a overarching story or is it just weird happenings in a small desert town?
