But, I also understand that WTNV came under some contention earlier over a debate that charged that portrayals of Cecil as being white were inherently racist because of a particular line the character spoke. Of course it loving did.  Met posted:It doesn't really matter. This is true.

Earwicker, was this a one off intro and outro? I really liked it, even more than the new one(not that I don't like that one also). The episodes you've produced have been fantastic!

Just finally caught up with the show after 2+ years of listening and falling behind and I am so loving glad I did. For me things went from "this is pretty good" to "holy poo poo I love this" around the time of the Old Oak Doors and the Mayoral Election. Really curious to see where the rest of this season goes with what's been going on with Desert Bluffs. Also...was this founded by SA people? I noticed that Zack Parsons wrote the last episode about the Blood-Space War and the OP keeps saying "we" in reference to the show. It also is uh, really old and back from when the show was just starting.  If so that is really awesome.I missed the book tour show here in DC but now that I'm caught up hopefully I'll find out if there's another live show in DC from the update at the beginning of episodes rather than saying "ooo they're in DC, oh it was a year and a half ago"  And a book question: if I got it on Kindle would I be missing out on anything cool in the hardcover edition? or wait, there's an audiobook version!? is it setup like a super-long episode with a different narration focus or more of a traditional audiobook? axeil fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Dec 6, 2015 |

Earwicker (formerly a mod here) is Disparition, the dude who does the music. This is also like the third or fourth episode Zach Parsons has done.

for what it's worth there is about an hour's worth of new Disparition music in the audiobook that is not (nor will ever be) on any album nor used in the actual podcast at any point. also in addition to Cecil the audiobook also includes voice work by Dylan Marron and Retta

I think this means we have our first majorly successful goon project that isn't 4chan.  So I dunno if this has been asked before, but how did you (maxnmona) come up with the idea for Welcome To Night Vale? Emong posted:The bulk of it is a traditional audiobook, but there are interludes that are done up like the standard podcast episodes. Oh nice. I wonder if Amazon is doing an e-book+audiobook special... I got Seveneves that way and it was great because I could listen on the way in to work and pick up where I got off when I got back. Earwicker posted:for what it's worth there is about an hour's worth of new Disparition music in the audiobook that is not (nor will ever be) on any album nor used in the actual podcast at any point. Welp, I'm sold. Love the music you do for the show and an hour of exclusive music is enough of a sell for me. Thanks for all the clarifying info guys. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this thread now.

yeah Jeffrey has never been on SA as far as I know. I think me and Joseph are the only goons involved though I would not be surprised if Mary Epworth secretly had an account here I don't really think of Night Vale as an "SA thing" even though Joseph and myself have worked here (briefly) and Zach Parsons has written some episodes. A majority of the people involved in the show know each other through the Neofuturists, mostly the NYC branch. But really what everyone has in common, at least in terms of the core group of people from the beginning, is that everyone was involved in the downtown NYC theatre scene in some way

That's pretty neat. Explains why the production values have been really good since the start; everyone's a fairly experienced actor/writer/musician/eldritch horror already. Also picked up the e-book and audio-book version of the novel and have been listening in the car on my way to and from work. It's great

The new episode was great. I especially loved the bit about immigrants from rival city Desert Bluffs being tagged with garish orange hats. It seems like there was some subtle social commentary there, if I could only put my finger on it...

Almost every episode of WTNV is written pretty far in advance of when it actually comes out, so whenever it seems like there's a reference to something super recent in the news, that's usually just a coincidence.

I listened to most of the novel on a trip last week and finished it last night. That was really wonderful, and hearing it read by Narrator Cecil Baldwin (as distinct from Voice of Night Vale Cecil Palmer) was quite enjoyable. Though it was disturbing to hear my own first name over and over again. Then I listened to Epilogue again, and it was even better the second time around, after the novel. It worked really well both ways.

A random thought: the WTNV people really dropped the ball when advertising the Thrilling Adventure Hour crossover, because, since the first recording was lost forever and the second one didn't come out until over half a year later, WTNV has a real, honest-to-every-god lost episode. Imagine the difference in advertising... TAA: Be sure to tune in for the infamous lost episode of Thrilling Adventure Hour that's captured the imaginations of listeners everywhere!

All the clever metafictional advertising in the world wouldn't have done much to make that rambling plotless mess full of empty catchphrases, awkward pauses, and relentless mugging any better, sadly.
