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?

I'll repeat what I said in the serialized fiction podcast thread:

It's very much in the Buffy style: start each season with episodic stories, with subtle background elements that build to a major confrontation at the end of the season. The story arcs get stronger later on in the series, so you might like that better. Of course, then some fans of the early episodes say "I liked it better when it was just creepy stuff being narrated and not so much story." *shrug* Can't please everyone.

All cans are welcome and equal in your city, regardless of can content, and whether empty or full.
I would greatly like to see how you pull off Hush in a podcast format.

Just listened to the latest one. I figured that all the obvious deaths wouldn't happen. But did not expect Purple to bite it, or for Cecil to be so affected by it. Honestly I figured someone random like John Peters, you know, the farmer? would get killed off.

Hell of a way to cool down on my walk, but as always loving it!

Yeah that was brutal.

So, going by scheduling looks like we'll hit episode 100 in January? Hope they've got something special planned for that milestone.

Late Wednesday night. They usually aim releases for the 1st and 15th of each month. The last month has been different due to OHCotA preview episodes.

It has been consistently the 1st and the 15 of the month since June 2012. There has never been any change to that schedule.

I think they specifically said "almost every guest." There may be a few holdouts.

Okay, it said "every guest we've had in our almost five years," and I think I switched the words around and heard "almost every guest."

Well, it's official: Cecil and Carlos are married! I was expecting the whole thing to be a fake out, after which I would have left a flaming bag of dog poop on Fink's front door, but they actually went through with it! Woohoo! I also loved the meta-text of the Weather as a love song to the fans.

Just finished the new episode. I started crying at the weather. Thank you Joesph and the entire WTNV cast and crew. The past year has been a strange one for me and the weird town you all built has been such a comfort, even when staring into the face of a devil dog.

Here's to a hundred more episodes.

I wasn't sure how you were going to fit in everyone when I saw the episode was only 30 minutes long, but you guys did it. That was just a great feel good episode.

I don't know if there's a separate thread for OHC but I just wanted to say that it sounds like whoever foes the foley work for it is having a blast. :)

I am really loving OHC. It's extremely soothing and has a magical quality that always characterised audiobooks for me as a child that I've never quite been able to capture since. I don't know what kind of audience it's netting (none of my friends who enjoy Night Vale have listened to it, despite my prodding) but I hope it sticks around. I think it's something genuinely special.

Yeah I'm liking it as well, though none of my Night Vale fan friends seem to be able to get into it (they didn't like Within the Wires either, but liked Alice Isn't Dead.) Guess they need more of a narrative.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
I'm not really into Orbiting Human Circus either, and I think it's that I don't like the janitor for some reason. I do love the Orchestrel (Orkestrel?) idea though.

Same here, and for the same reason. I'm so-so on Alice Isn't Dead, love Within the Wires.

Been listening to OHC today too and I have to say I don't like the Janitor either. The character itself as well as the voice and delivery are all very annoying to me, which I'm bummed about because I'm loving the rest of the podcast.

For the record, I dug the absolute poo poo out of Alice Isn't Dead and couldn't get into Within the Wires.
