Welcome To Night Vale Podcast Cover Art from Common Place Books
As of late the podcast Welcome to Nightvale has been making waves and getting attention. The fans have run run wild with the series and I decided to check it out and review it.
There is a lot to say about the series so let's start with a run down. As of the start of September there have been 30 audio podcast released all taking place in the world of Nightvale. Nightvale is a town in the middle of dessert that has been described in many way ranging from the most scientifically interesting town in the United States to a terrifying place. The show is a radio show hosted by the main character Cecil as he announces news from the small town. The news one hears aren't things you'd expect, in fact the range from airplanes materializing in the middle of high school basketball games, to a floating cat in the middle of the radio stations men's room to hooded figures that run around that everyone avoids making contact with. The town seems smack dapped in the middle of the most bizarre and strange things imaginable and everyone in town just shrugs it off as normal everyday events. The only evidence we have that this is not the normal for this whole world is the new comer scientist Carlos trying to warn and explain everyone that these things aren't normal as he studies the town and the various strange happenstance.
