Also I can not wait for the audiobook. I've listened to the preview chapter a good 4 times now.

Disparition has a new album? Or is there going to be a WTNV album?

By the way, AWESOME episode today.

Oh, awesome. Granicha was one of my favourite albums of last year, so I'm super excited for the new one.

This episode was a ton of fun- love the way Janice is becoming more awesome (basically, she's turning into Oracle from Batman) and Cecil admitting that Steve is a good father. And the remixed theme song was fun, though I wouldn't want it to permanently replace the original. With due respect to Disparition, though, there was one section that I thought should be rescored.

Much like the laser grid, Carlos would have been fascinated but Steve would get them through it (having seen an instructional diagram in the sky).

They would've wasted all their time in the Shrine and missed out on Space Camp and cool backpacks.

This is pretty off-topic, but did anyone else find it odd that a big news story recently was about a lion named Cecil being killed by a man named Palmer? Just an odd coincidence.

Cecil is clearly not human, because he mentions Hirum (sp?) as a human, assuming that's what humans look like. In other words, he doesn't know.

Hiram was wearing a normal human disguise and is excellent at identify theft.

Hmmm...
Cecil is just a cabin in the wilderness, with two spoons tapping together by the wind at such a rate it sounds suspiciously like a human voice.

Carlos is his human boyfriend.

Consider that the standard citizenry of Night Vale includes a telepathic river rock, at least one shapeshifter, a (formerly) two headed football player, a little girl who was born as a disembodied Russian man's hand, some angels winged people, and a faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home, I think Cecil can be forgiven for assuming that Frank Chen having more than the usual number of heads was nothing out of the ordinary.

By which I mean that Cecil is obviously a three eyed lion and you're a racist if you disagree.

Don't forget the several faceless old women who openly live in their own homes.

The biggest problem is the pacing, The show keeps hitting the breaks so we can go on these tangents that don't go anywhere. (Cecile's fanny pack for example)

I still think it's weird they crossed over with the sci-fi show instead of Beyond Belief.

I half wonder if this wasn't down to cast availability at whatever convention it was where they originally did the crossover.

I still say there needs to be a Night Vale/Beyond Belief crossover that's just Cecil and Paget Brewster pronouncing things at each other for an hour and a half.

I'm gonna need to hear Paget say "BRINY DEPTHS". Just once. For a friend's birthday.

Oh, and The List. Paget reads The List, Cecil reads Frank and Sadie's liquor delivery order.

They just put those historical plaques anywhere these days, don't they?

Also, I can't help but hear the ending as the opening to some 80s dystopian cyberpunk movie. So, kudos to encouraging me to watch some of my old favorites after every episode.

I enjoyed it, but it's not the best example of either podcast. That said, I'd pay literally dozens of dollars to hear Sadie and Cecil read things to each other.

This is pretty much how I feel. It's a solid episode of either podcast, I think (though I think it's a better Night Vale episode than it is a Thrilling Adventure Hour episode), but both shows have done substantially better.
