I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Is it going to be a stage show or will it be available in a pod cast?

The Thrilling Adventure Hour facebook said either one show or the other (or maybe both) will release it as a podcast but it won't be until late this year or maybe early next year.

If you guys still don't know what Thrilling Adventure Hour is, we have a thread here. If you like WTNV there's a good chance you'll like at least a couple of the segments in TAH.

Got my ticket for the Dallas show yesterday. So excited. :)

Do any of these live shows make their way online, such as for the people who live in Australia who'd like to attend but can't justify or afford plane tickets to fly to one of these shows?

I believe the Brooklyn shows from October and December will be released as episodes.

They may be released as pay-only episodes. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to release them exclusively on CDs. Or cassettes. Or 8-track tapes. Or wax cylinders. I'd buy them anyway.

How many different live episodes have there been? Have any been released online yet?

Has the episode with Carlos' new voice been released yet? If so, what was the in-universe explanation for it?

As far as I know there's been Condos, the Mayoral Debate, and the current one touring. The recording of Condos has Carlos' new voice. None of the live episodes have been released yet. There is an in-universe explanation in the recorded version of Condos as noted on Jeffrey's tumblr.

Also having seen both Condos and this tour I really loving want the debate episode and will gladly pay any amount of money to listen to it.

I also can't express enough how sad I am that I can't afford to see the WTNV/TAH crossover at the end of March.

25 is One Year Later and was performed live before being recorded for the podcast. The Shape in Grove Park, Wheat and Wheat Byproducts, and The Man in the Tan Jacket were all performed live, though well after their original podcast dates. Some (all?) of them featured different material from the podcast versions, and I know for example the performance of Condos I saw had two segments that have since been used in other episodes of the podcast.

I don't know if it's cool to post this but it exists: someone did record a live show of Condos and it is on Youtube. For personal use, I took the audio from these and spliced them together into one "episode" and put it on Soundcloud, but that was before I knew that it would be released so I won't post that link anywhere and fully intend to buy the episode if given the chance. I am willing to pay absurd sums of money for any and all of the live episodes.

I thought the mayoral elections were in April? Or I think Cecil said that during the first Debate show in Brooklyn. For some reason I'm thinking April. Obviously I'm wrong about that.

Since votes don't matter, Pamela Winchell for mayor!

I'm a little confused. What does Strexcorp have to do with the current storyline (I haven't gotten caught up yet)? Also, if Cecil did indeed say the elections are in April and they can't put up the debate episode before then, Cecil can always say that the council has declared that the calendar is being temporarily set back to another month or something. A problem like this would be unfixable for most fictional universes, but Night Vale is not most fictional universes, though the jury's out on the 'fictional' part.

What will you do if you can't release the debate episode before then? Make it a pay-only episode set between other episodes (which I would totally buy, by the way)? Come up with a weird in-universe explanation, possibly involving calendar fuckery by the council or some other group or force, thus redefining June? A contradiction like that in any other series would be difficult or impossible to fix, but in Night Vale, it's just another Monturday.

I was at the Phoenix show last night, and I'll echo what everyone has said: if you're at all on the fence about going to a live show (and why would you be at this point?) you should definitely GO. It was a ridiculous amount of fun. Cecil has this ability to make you feel like he's looking right at YOU no matter where you're sitting.

The new episode is amazing. Definite echoes of "cassette" in the conflicting newspaper articles.

I can't help but suspect that the lighthouse is a manifestation of the dark tower. There are a LOT of Dark Tower references and parallels. Strexcorp is even reminiscent of North Central Positronics and the Sombra corporation.

maxnmona, I just wanted to thank you and the other writers for having so many incidental characters be women. I feel like every time I hear a mention of a new one-off character (Director of Tourism, the owners of the ice cream shop from an episode or two ago, etc.) I am pleasantly surprised to hear a woman's name mentioned. Thanks for keeping a realistic proportion of men, women, and of course genderless figures in Night Vale.
