One of my work buddies recently introduced me to a podcast I had never heard of before, and given the subject matter I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it sooner. It’s called Welcome to Night Vale; A podcast that takes place in an imaginary desert town where things are not quite what they seem, for lack of a better term…
The podcast is basically just a half hour radio show from a fictional town called Night Vale. The host of the show talks about strange oddities and rituals going on throughout the local community as if they were day to day mundane routines. The first episode announces a local dog park, and warns listeners that dogs are not allowed in the dog park, and people are not allowed in the dog park. Later on a few episodes down you meet a giant sentient glow cloud that everyone is afraid of, and eventually it joins the PTA. I think I’m currently on Episode 7? I’ve been listening to the playlist while working on some digital projects. 😛
