More delightfully spooky (and funny) with each episode.
David Lynch writes "The X-Files" as "A Prairie Home Companion." That's the best way I can describe this delightfully strange mix of humor and horror, which chronicles the terrifying mundanity of life in a town beset by angels, government agents, strange visitors, and hooded figures via the mellow, dulcet tones of a community radio deejay. The writers do a great job of keeping the laughs uneasy and the horrors absorb -- a fine and difficult line to walk. And with each passing episode, they expand the eerie, pulsating, oozing universe they've created in increasingly imaginative ways. Continuing storylines and running jokes create the feeling that Night Vale is a real town -- though Heaven help us if it is. Though it's mostly funny, Welcome to Nightvale can at times get genuinely spine-tingling, or even surprisingly moving. As an added bonus, each episode's weather report is, apropos of nothing, a usually very good song by a different indie musician. I would never want to move to Night Vale, or visit there, or live in the same state as it, or even see it on a map. But I'll gladly listen to its radio station.Read full review »

With a specificty normally absent fom podcasts the town of Night Vale has already begun to take shape with great recurring characters and themes...Read full review »
