This is a pretty cool podcast and I'm looking forward to getting a new one on Sunday.

Also I'd like to echo whoever said that the occasional call-in would be alright. I'd love to hear Cecil have a matter-of-fact talk with someone about how their cows keep disappearing and when they come back their udders squirt blood or whatever. "You see John, the trick is to make sure they're inside a barn covered in ancient sigils on the night of the waning gibbous moon."

Oh no not Cecil! Really looking forward to episode 4. Can't wait to see if our intrepid reporter made it out alive.

Tigsaw posted:I'm currently listening to the latest episode, I'm really enjoying the weather, definitely going to check out this artist. I was kinda disappointed that we didn't get a follow-up to what happened after Management left the office last time. The constant references to the hooded figures/the dog park makes me think they're a Thing, though.

maxnmona posted:For instance, developments continue occasionally in the Apache Tracker story. I can't believe that guy. What an rear end in a top hat. Honestly as long as we keep hearing about John Peters I'm good.

maxnmona posted:I just recently wrote something about John Peters (you know, the farmer), so no worries. "John Peters, you know, the farmer?", "Old Woman Josie", and "the Apache Tracker, you know, that guy with etc etc" are things that I never want to change. I never want those introductions to change ever. Unless John Peters changes his job and it turns into "you know, the accountant" or something.

The way they described their request for instructions makes me think it's being built by a bunch of small children. I will fiercely cling to this belief. Also dang this was a dark one.

Len posted:Is there any chance I could ever buy like a Nightvale window cling or bumper sticker? I'd be interested in buying something advertising the show or cheering on it's football team. I bet Telly is from Desert Bluffs. Why else would he cut Carlos's perfect, magnificent hair?

I want to know more about three things/people: 1) John Peters. You know, the farmer? 2) The five-headed dragon 3) The Apache tracker.

I love Cecil's hatred of the Apache Tracker. He's the only one that Cecil has poo poo-talked who hasn't either A) been a voice of reason or B) cut Carlos's perfect, beautiful hair. Can't wait two more months to get to the next one about that one guy.

Len posted:Steve Carlsburg is an rear end in a top hat. He can't even take care of his Corolla! No, Steve's a spoilsport, the Tracker is an rear end in a top hat. And Steve would be the "voice of reason" I mentioned. I mean he was the only one to point out how goddamn stupid a drawbridge in the middle of a desert is.

Bumping because new episode! Glow Cloud on the school board was easily the highlight.

maxnmona posted:Thanks. Next episode is the first one with a guest writer, and look forward to the just written ep. 13 (Dec 15) which is a very, very different format than previous Night Vales and has some exciting big picture story stuff in it. Ugh why is it not December yet?

The gat-dang OP posted:There will be new episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month, so if you like it, you can also subscribe and we'll keep sending you stuff directly from our bizarre and dangerous small town to your earholes. Enjoy!

Looking at the descriptions this is going to be the best one yet.

As soon as the Desert Bluffs music hit I started laughing. Easily the best episode yet.

quote:My relationship with Lovecraft is a complex one, as normally bad writing coupled with virulent racism would be a deal-breaker for me, but it is weirdly endearing coming from a nervous, over-mothered, reclusive eccentric. To make an analogy: a few weeks ago, I saw a homeless man wearing a black-silk kimono (with a dragon on it) happily feeding squirrels in the park. Then he abruptly turned around and angrily called a pigeon a "human being." My reaction, rather than any sort of moral discomfort, was mostly just "Ha- of course that guy said that!" Lovecraft: A homeless man calling a pigeon a "human being", forever.

maxnmona posted:To clarify for people who didn't click the link: that's the interviewer talking, not either of us. Yeah, sorry. I like that your response is flat out "I don't like Lovecraft." I just really like that visual of a homeless man in a kimono randomly calling a pigeon "human being."

Yo this death is all kinds of bullshit. Y'all just killed the best character. The best. I'm quitting this podcast and never coming back. Not until July anyway.

This one is great. I was listening to The Man in the Tan Jacket last night and the old woman gets a throwaway mention. Never thought she'd get her own episode.

maxnmona posted:There are plans. They might involve a live recorded debate in front of a real audience. Who knows? I don't ask for much that isn't an update on John Peters Youknowthefarmer but I'm asking you to please make this a reality. Speaking of John Peters, I like that he's literally the only farmer in Night Vale. It makes that stupid joke twice as funny.

Ariong posted:Well, it is quite a small town. In a desert. I know, but until like last night I just assumed he was a farmer, and not literally the farmer, until some comment about "the farmer and some other people" made it all click and now I giggle twice as hard.

Coco13 posted:Beginning. You don't have to listen to the entire podcast in order, but you want to listen to the individual shows in order - like 'Sparks Nevada' and 'Beyond Belief'. If there's one you don't particularly enjoy - 'Tales from the Black Lagoon,' for example - you can skip them and it won't affect your enjoyment of 'Captain Laserbeam!' or 'Colonel Tick-Tock.' Is there a way to see just the episodes of a certain series?

maxnmona posted:Oh, and I guess the word is out now, so I can say here that the guest star from later this summer will be Jasika Nicole, aka Astrid from Fringe. That's awesome.

I'm pretty sure I said "Awwww" out loud at least four times while I was listening to the new episode. Cecil talking about how happy he was that Carlos kissed him was the most :3 thing yet.

dj_clawson posted:I'm still not sure if Cecil and Kevin are their own doubles and met each other and just have different interpretations on what happened, or they each had their own doubles and Cecil ran into Double Cecil and Kevin ran into Double Kevin. No, they're each other's doubles. The point of Cecil's part in Sandstorm B is that Desert Bluffs is, deliberately or not, unaware of what's actually going on.

Republican Vampire posted:Yeah, that's probably the intended effect. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to see all the sunny-but-ominous stuff Kevin says as being indicative of something actually horrifying. Hence all the viscera and his little comment about Cecil's booth or desk not being covered in blood. And then the things that aren't ominous at all? Probably something still really awful! The Vanessas "assembling a bookshelf" and one of them being accidnetally injured? Yeah, that probably didn't happen that way at all. Part of Desert Bluff's thing, that's the opposite of Night Vale, is how deep in denial everyone is about the crazy poo poo that's going on and how terrible it is. Either that or they're completely inured in a way that Night Vale isn't, which is actually scarier.

Len posted:My assumption was that Strex Corp just pumped them so full of medicine they were happy and complacent all the time. The first two episodes, One Year Later, and the one where he actually becomes a Russian-speaking Apache tracker. There's a few other scattered appearances but most of them are him standing outside the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex and occasionally talking to the Man in the Tan Jacket.

dj_clawson posted:I don't get this reference. I know I should, but I don't. After Telly cut Carlos's perfect hair, he was abducted and punished, and later seen wandering around, eating an ice cream cone made of styrofoam. I've listened to this show way too much.
