Hoppy with peppery tones and a slight aftertaste of terror.

Don't spoil anything for me, but I just got up to the sandstorm episode and it's wonderful.

To be completely honest, I don't like the voice of Carlos, at all. He has the "feeling" of carlos down pat, but his voice just seems way too...much of a letdown from Cecil.

When he got the call from Carlos the first time, I was like IS IT?? IS IT?! IT IS OMG :gizz: and had such a big stupid goofy grin on my face.

I can't believe I didn't hear about this until my non-not-really-a-goon-but-kinda friend wouldn't shut up about it.

Also: Could there be more ambient stuff playing to set the mood while cecil talks?
Also: I didn't like the Weather at first, but the songs lately have been much better.

This person has apparently gone through all the episodes and drawn a detailed map of Night Vale based off of the descriptions of where things are in the show. (Click the pictures for big.)

I am not a huge fan of Carlos's voice, which doesn't fit at all what I thought it would be (He's got some kind of non-New York accent that I can't place) but if Jeffrey Cranor wants to do the voice, he can do it all he pleases, because he writes the show.

If anyone feels like getting at their computer and the world, search the tag #whitevale on Tumblr. Oh, no, I see it's been taken down for everyone calling everyone else racists.

I love it because, Jesus, no offense, it's endearingly nerdy, but it's so hilariously far out from "oaky tones" that you know either standards of oaky perfection are different in Night Vale, or Cecil's got it bad. Probably both.

2007 Noob. Sorry. :(
I saw this thread a few months ago but was buried under way too many episodes of This American Life to give it a whirl. I kept hearing about it on Tumblr, so I decided to start it up. Took me a couple of episodes to decide whether or not I liked it, but it's really grown on me. I can't wait until t-shirts are back in stock!

Have you kept up with the Tumblr fandom? They all seem annoyingly hooked on Cecil's skin color and "head cannon" theories when I search the "Welcome to Night Vale" tag. :( (My confession: I don't really picture him much because when I listen to your podcast I'm picturing the town. When I do imagine him, he sort of looks like Ira Glass to me.)

We've gotten a few emails about that. There is zero chance we are getting involved in fan arguments about anything though.

It's okay, but I'd like to know what the hell kind of accent the writer has that makes "air" come anywhere close to rhyming with "fear".

I just started listening to this like 3 days ago and I've just now finished the last episode. I saw so many references on Tumblr, and figured SA would have a thread, but it was good to discover it was goon-made :allears:

By the way, the link to the store on the website doesn't seem to work, should that be linking to Topatoco?

After Telly cut Carlos's perfect hair, he was abducted and punished, and later seen wandering around, eating an ice cream cone made of styrofoam.

Speaking of which, are there any official or unoffical transcripts around? I think I remember the op saying there wasn't really transcrips...I just love the openings and endings for the shows and wish I had them written sometimes.

That was, and it was done by the secret police:

Episode six - the drawbridge posted:

Apparently, The Sheriff’s Secret Police agree with me about old Steve Carlsberg. Dear listeners, we just received a report from a reliable witness that two days ago, Steve was whisked into the back of a windowless van, only to reappear earlier this morning, wearing thick head bandages and eating styrofoam shaped like an ice cream cone.

As addressed, that was actually that huge jerk Steve Carlsburg, who just wouldn't shut up at the Night Vale PTA meetings.

Telly...treacherous Telly, who shorn the beautiful hair from the beautiful head of our favorite resident outsider, Carlos, was subjected to a far more archaic and damning fate. Telly was last reported roaming the sand wastes, shrieking angrily at the sky and, presumably, attempting to give a cactus a haircut.

I started re-listening to the series, and this was in one of the earlier episodes. I think Telly's last appearance was shrieking at 'You' as the car drove into the sand wastes in Ep. 13.
