"And now for the weather!"

My older sister showed me the pilot episode and a year ago, and now nightvale feels better to listen to than any other audio. ( music, audio books, other podcasts, ect.) the only other podcast I like to listen to is "unlicensed" ( by the same authors ) I am just so obsessed!

Night Vale

This is maybe the best thing that not nearly enough people are listening to.
Quirky, original, well-produced, and in some cases damned disturbing.
Highest recommendation.

Weird

If you like it weird, creepy, and cultish, this is your podcast. I'm still trying to catch up, many hours of content, but not a minute waisted so far.

More Nightvale please!

I love Night Vale, but I don’t enjoy all the interruptions of podcasts. So I really love the book. Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours, read them both at least twice.
Please write another sequel from some of the storylines in the podcast!

Mysterious, strange, and funny

The story of a strange place told bit by bit through a radio show full of strange community announcements.

Perfectly creepy

A great podcast for those who love the strange and unusual. A small creepy town that will welcome you with open arms... or tentacles. Just avoid the Dog Park
