Being that I'm an animator I'm obviously biased or whatever - but have you guys considered making this into an animated series? If you did, I would love to see the art direction like something in this vein: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGzghUQRVk8 What I'm getting at here is looking for an art style that is a good combination of humorous, stylized, but also genuinely scary when it needs to be. Also while adapting the radio plays to animation (especially for web episodes or mini-episodes) is an obvious choice, I'd love to see an actual TV series that takes place within the town, with Cecil's radio readings only popping in and out periodically during the show. The show is deceptive in that it comes off initially as spoof, and always has black humor to everything - but really is closer to being actual horror and noirish scifi, with the humor letting us coast along between the scary parts that catch us offguard. I'd love to see that feel captured in animated form...where people think they're safe watching a comedy and then witness something that feels like a snapshot out of their own nightmares.

I love it but my favorite is still the stuff that looks like 1960's public safety/propaganda posters, those are absolutely perfect. also I haven't listened to the new episode yet so I'm not sure what you guys did but my Soundcloud is really blowing up today!

Yeah, more than any Night Vale art, I would probably pay good money for just like... a coffee table book of these. I find most representational fanart (character portraits, etc.) to be kind of boring/uninteresting, but I love in-universe advertisements, posters, design type stuff for some reason. Edit: There have been some great ones in the past few days: http://kazuos.tumblr.com/post/56929876368 http://bagelartnstuff.tumblr.com/post/56915907777/welcome-to-night-vale-pilot http://musain.tumblr.com/tagged/nightvalepr I love the Hiram McDaniels for mayor poster so much.

Saw this on MetaFilter and figured I'd share. MetaFilter posted:In the pre-podcast days of 1999, the then Sci-Fi Channel website worked with the Seeing Ear Theater and Bablyon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski to produce a series of Twilight Zone-inspired radio stories called "City Of Dreams" along with a cast that included Steve Buscemi, Tim Curry, Kevin Conway, and John Turturro. 13 episodes were planned, but only 8 got produced, and with the decline of Real Player and the Seeing Ear Theater, the episodes were thought to be lost to the mists of internet history. Until someone uploaded all of them to Youtube. Sounds pretty cool. Here is a link to the Youtube channel. Might be old news since they got uploaded 3 years ago but figured I'd post it here anyway.

Seeing Ear Theatre is why I purchased Sirius Radio, there were a TON of awesome audio plays on there, all Sci-Fi from some pretty big names. Extremely well done, I remember when they went off the air and scrambling to find everything I could.

I'm just surprised how quickly the new art gets churned out. (Here's a new piece from the older episodes as well; I just liked the artwork here.)

What kind of equipment do you guys use when you record? Also, would you be willing to put up a copy of one of your scripts? I write film scripts once and a while, and am familiar with that format, but I'm curious to see how you format a script for a podcast.

And our scripts aren't really formatted as scripts cuz its just one guy talking. Just a word doc broken into chunks with a number identifier so I can match it to Cecil's finished recording.

Got my shirt, really loved the printed label on the outside but I was sad there wasn't a proverb on the receipt (yes I checked...). I plan to wear the shirt next week at Otakon. I also started a folder for fanart. I like seeing all the different interpretations of the characters.

Night Vale is perfect and you are perfect for creating it. I tried to donate using one of those American Express gift cards but Paypal was like, "Nope, gently caress you" so just thank you for the awesome show I guess. Edit: I used half of that money to buy a new avatar with a Welcome to Night Vale quote in it. The picture is unrelated but makes me laugh every time I see it. Edit 2: Made it sound less fangirly. I have to do boring grown-up poo poo with that money, but I'm buying that shirt eventually. Action Yak fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Aug 9, 2013 |

That's some weird poo poo, no dragons. Sounds like a pretty hosed up place. I bet their radio guy bathes in the blood and entrails of small animals and has somehow hacked together a radio transmitter out of their bones.

The backlog on Tumblr for Night Vale posts is HUGE. My Sunday post hasn't shown up yet. Granted I've never used Tumblr before, so that could be part of it, but apparently they can be delayed by people rushing tags.

I finally decided to dive into Night Vale when I saw my favourite local band (Doomtree) was featured in a recent episode. I just had minor surgery, and discovered that laying back and listening to episodes when pain was really aggravating was seriously the best medicine. I think I may have had some sort of strange out of body experience due to the mixture of painkillers and Cecil's hypnotic voice. It. was. glorious. I marathoned the whole thing in just five days and I am definitely buying some merch once I'm not a broke rear end bitch. I'm so glad you exist, Night Vale!

I remember reading that only 200 or so posts get shown in a tag overall. That might have changed since then, but it's something to be aware of.
