The Orbiting Human Circus This was unexpected. Is this a Night Vale crossover? The cast seems amazing. LASER BEAM DREAM fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Sep 24, 2016 |

My wife and I have been huge fans of the Podcast for years. Over the last year we've both really fallen out of it for whatever reasons. Yesterday while driving home on a 4 hour trip we decided to listen to a bunch of episodes. We had both stopped about midway through "Season 4" and we listened to a ton of episodes. I felt like Season 3 was a bit lackluster, but everything after "A Stranger" has been amazing. Can't wait to get caught up on the podcast again and I'm sorry I gave up on you guys

Ok so I didn't manage to catch up with the episodes, but I'm in the lobby now, with about 40 minutes to show time. Looking forward to it! Still can't quite believe how many Night Vale fans there are in Denmark of all places, it's so neat.

Good to know Ryanair can take time out of their busy schedule of getting into twitter beefs with Danish politicians to throw away some luggage  I thought you did pretty well though! It was a good show, I'm glad I took the trip to Copenhagen to see it

So, how about The Orbiting Human Circus (Of The Air)? It's something that takes getting used to, but I think it's pretty good all things considered. Also I'm really worried about how things are gonna work out with Within the Wires.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. The narrator absolutely nails what they're going for and the janitor's a lot of fun, but it's going to take a bit for it to really click I think.

I didn't "get it" at all. Or maybe I did and I just didn't like it, and assumed I didn't get it. WTW continues to completely nail it, though. I always listen to these as I'm falling asleep, and I kinda drifted off for a minute and came back as the drugs were kicking in. Freaky. I've probably listened to the newest episode four times already. I'm not really doing right by Night Vale. I pretty much fall asleep before or during the Weather without fail, then try and start over in the morning but kinda gloss over the second half because I'm working by then. I really enjoy reading through "Mostly Void" though, especially the forewords to each episode. Definitely gonna pick up the second book when I see it in-store.

The thing that WTNV has, that Circus & Wires seem to be missing, is a bit more context. Wires seems to be in some sort of dystopian world, and Circus seems to be something internal, but WTNV's framing as a Public Access Radio show helps give you something to hold onto and navigate what's going on in the episode. Even episodes such as "story about you" can still be navigated, while listening to the other two feels like I'm trying to grasp what's going on at times. Still enjoyable stories, but I like knowing where I stand while viewing the funhouse.

One is way more important when you're trying to get into a thing and the other can be expanded on once that happens.

I get what they mean. In night vale even if you have no idea about the setting you know it's a radio broadcast that you are a listener of from minute 1. In WTW you figure out quickly that you are a person listening to tapes in a Bad Place and the rest can follow from that. In Circus it's a radio broadcast, but we aren't listening to the broadcast itself but being narrated the janitors perspective, but also there's some girl listening in on all of it? It's a bit harder to grasp what the audiences perspective is supposed to be

The girl is the janitor. The narrator is the voice in her head. The radio show is "reality". I thought it was easy to pick up

No, but the voice is high pitched, so I thought that was who Farg was referring to.

I like Orbiting Human Circus's premise. I especially liked the old woman's reverie. But I hate the voice acting of the janitor. Its just so grating and annoying. I have to strain to understand what he's saying much of the time. The voice is like some horrible combination of Michael Jackson, young Toby McGuire, and whiny hipster. Ugh...

The premise is great, the wheezy whisper-mumbling voice is the opposite of great.

It kind of reminds me of Adventure Time, in the sense that they both throw you into the middle of a weird setting without explanation and you're expected to figure it out from context.

It's a bit harder to grasp what the audiences perspective is supposed to be I think what WTNV has versus the others is plot, or more accurately an easily digestible plot. Night Vale presents a world with an A to B to C story quite literally. And with time, the world gets more fleshed out and realized in a way that's not too disimilar to, say, Star Trek. And Alice Isn't Dead follows a similar path, while also bridging a longer form story in a serialized way. While Within the Wires has a story that's a lot more obfuscated, that's less about characters and more about a world/situation. And I can respect that, but that's not personally my thing and I'm okay with that. While Orbiting Human Circus is hard to pinpoint quite yet being only one episode along, but I theorize it's a more character based story. I imagine the context of it's story will be revealed with time, trying to tell a character's/characters story in a more experimental way. As is I'm interested to see what the next one will be.

I love the first season finale of WtW. I really hope she was listening too. And I'm so worried our narrator got caught cleaning up. That would make her interesting to The Institute.

I'm torn between "I'm glad WTNV is enough of a thing that you got Retta to do a voice" and "who the hell thought Retta sounded old enough to be Old Woman Josie?". I always pictured OWJ as one of those pushing-a-hundred types not capable of doing much more than staring out the window and dialing the phone. But whatever. Still really liked the episode. Re WTW: I never considered that Hester might not have gotten out! Oh nooo...

Heard a lot about this show but never checked it out until recently. I listened to the first few episodes and didn't really grab me at all. Seemed like just a lot of weird monkey cheese. I like weird but I was expecting something with more plot. Does that develop?

It is more of an absurdist comedy and it does take a bit before it really finds it's footing.
