Man I never got into the podcast scene when it was starting, but I've really been enjoying WtNV for the graveyard shifts I've been working recently (up to episode 58 now - Monolith)

I think I'm going to enjoy this slice of horrific Americana pie.

Yeah, that was an amazing turn. Just...holy poo poo.

The disjointed way of the recording/radio style works so surprisingly well. We go straight from Thistle to surprisingly calm for a while...to horror...to...

It just occurred to me that the main character in AiD doesn't have a name, does she? Calling it now: She was Alice the whole time.

That's really my thinking on it too. Shes simply talking to herself.

I hope I'm wrong. It's a pretty obvious twist for a horror series.

I hope you're wrong too.

Anybody else getting a weird post apocalyptic vibe too? Our narrator keeps referring to "the world you (Alice) left us"

Am I the only one who's preferring the non-Thistle episodes of Alice Isn't Dead? I'm finding myself in a similar situation with The X-Files, enjoying the episodes outside the so-called myth arc more.

I am. I'm enjoying the bizarre, horror-tinged road trip atmosphere they've got going on.

The mud stuff was terrifying. It reminded me of the Night Vale Fun Run through a canyon, but I haven't heard that ep in a while. I'm still hoping that The Distant Prince turns out to be the Big Bad of this season.

The only positive to the mud is that at least the people the strangers have abducted can potentially be saved....

Don't disparage Kevin like that. Kevin would be more positive. Disgustingly positive.

The first couple lives shows did feel like they had a lot of fanservice, but that's due to the number of guests slotted into their plots.

Not that I'm complaining. Condos is still one of my favorite episodes.

Also, Tumblr, reddit and 4chan are always internet scapegoats. Just how it is.

Interestingly, the only actor I can think of that was cast as a result of the popularity of the show was Wil Wheaton. Everyone else are people we knew from before the show blew up.

That makes a lot of sense. Most of them are New York based and I could see Jackson Publick and James Urbaniak being completely into your style as well as the NY theater scene.

One day WTNV will be distributed within small black gelatinous cubes that devour all light that dares fall near them.

Some will claim the cubes are harmless but others will be afraid - no, not afraid, concerned - that the cubes whisper in strangely dulcet and comforting tones of times they believe are of times long past or, perhaps, of times yet to come...

So is Huntokar the woman who oversees the men with the crates in the desert? Is the underground city partially resulting from the reality split that the lady in the physical sciences building experienced?

Can't wait to see where this is going.

No she's the deer mask woman who has complained about the men with crates stealing miniature buildings
