  • Unlicensed S3 E3: Pest Control

    Unlicensed S3 E3: Pest Control
    May 23 2025
    Unlicensed, the first fiction show created by Jeffrey and Joseph since Night Vale, returns for a third season.⁠ Lou Rosen and Molly Hatch are unlicensed private detectives, scraping by on whatever cases they can get from their little office on the fringes of LA County. Reeling from a devastating betrayal and a major earthquake, this season finds Lou and Molly trying to rebuild their lives and evaluate their futures. But those futures might not be as long as they hope. Lou and Molly start what appears to be a quiet case: a series of strange home break-ins all involving ex-employees of a defunct Long Beach stereo manufacturer. But this case will quickly bring them up against an opponent more ruthless and resourceful than they've ever faced before. Lou and Molly have always gotten by on their wits, but what to do when facing an enemy who can outmatch them in both wits and violence? A cat and mouse game through the forgotten regions of Southern California, including a shady direct-to-video movie studio, the unglamorous workers neighborhoods of glamorous Catalina Island, and the distant remote parts of the desert, where help cannot reach you in time. There will be grave danger. There will be deaths. But maybe some things matter more than survival. ⁠Listen with a free Audible trial today. Learn more about your ad choices.

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!

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.

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!

More Nightvale please!

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

Perfectly creepy
