Welcome to Night Vale

marsh_6055 shared a tip "I can’t really properly review this podcast, because I find it so difficult to process, between the slow delivery of words and the soporific tone of voice- I keep being talked to sleep. But I’ve attempted to listen so often that I get the basic idea. I just doubt I’ll ever be able to finish it with any complex comprehension. Slice of sleepy eldritch gothic horror Americana a la Kentucky Route Zero with more gayness. On paper, absolutely my bag- in execution not so much."

alexis_rieck shared a tip "Seriously one of my favorite pieces of media ever. It has such unique views and LITERALLY birthed A WHOLE NEW GENRE. The characters and voice acting for those characters is beyond stellar, it's never confusing and always entertaining. The writing is gorgeous and the creators truly love their fans. It has a continuous plot of sorts, but you can pretty much start anywhere and be able to pick up what's going on. It's gotten me through some rough spots in my life and is 100% a comfort show."

amaris. shared a tip "my absolute favorite podcast !! i adore cecil, i can’t even count the amount of times i’ve fallen asleep to his voice. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD."

melissa_3561 shared a tip "Love this podcast. Especially enjoy the fact that each episode can be so completely different but all tied into this amazing lore of the epic desert town of Night Vale. If you haven't read the Night Vale books I highly recommend them too. Especially the Faceless Old Woman... So fantastic."

Cr9we shared a tip "Show was amazing for its time and still holds up today. first pod cast that i listened to that had a gay main character! i adore this show."

ashton_shippington shared a tip "I like this series because you can start anywhere and you don't have to know anything prior. However, its not quite as good as reading a book like this, this is set up more like the news but it's very very interesting the most recent episode I've listened to had a part where it was talking about how to know if it's safe for kids to play. They were talking about the different colored helicopters and wether they might kidnap you or not and what to do if you spot a certain color."

ams_odd shared a tip "For anyone old enough to know National Public Radio, this podcast is in a lovecraftian desert world. Totally love the weirdness and a few episodes are a bit spooky. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD."

joel_fonseca shared a tip "Honestley that's hard to choose. So many are great, but I do like "visitor" just because how attached to khoshekh you can see they are and its a shock factor episode to introduce friends to to mess with them"

Incenta shared a tip "This is so funny and calm, Cecils voice is so smooth, I've almost fallen asleep a few time ☺. I love this podcast so much that I've gotten ALL their books that they have published and 2 of which are signed!! #podcast #comedy #lgbt #lgbtqfriendly #calming #WTNV"

pipina_carathanasis shared a tip "perfect balance of comedy, paranormal, thriller, romance, and just plain weird. I love the characters and the way the story told through a radio show is so creative. I binged the whole thing in 3 weeks, 100% obsessed. If you liked Gravity Falls, definitely listen to this."

holly_hensley_4314 shared a tip "Aside from Welcome to Nightvale, I've been listening to Sounds Like a Cult alot, and they cover modern-day "cults" from MLMs like LulaRoe to Instagram therapist/influencers. It's a fun listen!"

heather98 shared a tip "This podcast makes me feel paranoid but in the best way possible. It draws you into the world of Night Vale and doesn't let you leave unscathed."

lizzy_luna shared a tip "If you haven’t checked it out already “The Orbiting Human Circus” is pretty good too! A softer vibe but plenty of bizarre happenings on top of the eiffel tower"

lizzy_luna shared a tip "Sure! It’s not in the same vein as the other two but “In Strange Woods” is a…ig horror musical? It’s better then i describe it!! But if you don’t like musicals at all maybe not…"

catherine_8639 shared a tip "That's a hard one. My answer has to be The Magnus Archives. The runner ups are Malevolent, The Bright Sessions, and Camp Here and There. Camp Here and There is the most like Nightvale."

laurel_zweibohmer shared a tip "It humor as well as it contained storylines the play throughout the series and new story additions are hilarious and fascinating. I find myself coming back to it often for more and more."

diana_kendall-huss shared a tip "It's weird but fun. Great writing, very immersive. It's been going for a long time. Everything Night Vale productions puts out is insanely creative."

jordan_something shared a tip "Just started listening to this! Episode one already has me hooked!! It’s almost like listening to the News from a city in The Twilight Zone. So if you like shows like The Twilight Zone or Goosebumps this may interest you!"

caitlyn_entriken shared a tip "Spooky stories, LGBTQ+ characters, a floating cat, and friendly rivalries between our radio show host, Cecil, and the host of Desert Bluffs Radio, Kevin, and also Steve Carlsburg. New episodes every other week! Can be found anywhere where podcasts are streaming!"

kim_rieck shared a tip "Creepy, intriguing, funny, and thought provoking. Like nothing you’ve ever dreamed of, but maybe could have. Cecil’s voice is strangely comforting, despite the vaguely menacing news. So many amusing quotes to savor. I’m listening my second time around. #comedy #science_fiction #horror #"

catsinthevoid shared a tip "@harperbrownca WTNV is honestly what got me into podcasts, though I haven't listened in a very long time now! If you're looking for something new to listen to and liked wtnv's surreal/creepy aspects I started listening to The Magnus Archives & it had similar vibes, though it's a horror podcast. And if you liked it for Cecil and Carlos then I'd recommend The Penumbra Podcast- I've only listened to the Juno Steel series, but there's a ton of lgbt+ representation 🏳️‍🌈💕"

billie_williams_182 shared a tip "Its great! If you've never listened to podcasts its a good one to start with cuz the episodes are short. I like to listen to it in the mornings"

hannamartin shared a tip "favorite podcast EVER. it’s like your average community news radio but it’s for this fantastical town where crazy things happen. it’s absolutely amazing and a HILARIOUS way to confuse your friends while you’re driving in the car listening to the “radio”. i would 100% recommend this!"

mineralssssssss shared a tip "It's creepy in a fun "i wonder where this is going" way, it's a story, it's intriguing. The strangeness of nightvale makes it all the more interesting to listen to"

sydney.dawn shared a tip "The podcast that got me into audio dramas. It's a mix of supernatural horror and comedy, in a mock-radio format that works great as podcast. I didn't stick around much after season/year 5, but the first 3 are must-listens!"

hanna_kallenbach shared a tip "Its like your normal local radio, except every other sentence has something in it that makes you do a mental double-take and its amazing."

slykoopa1013 shared a tip "Definitely one of the more interesting podcasts out there. A bit over hyped IMO but still a pretty good listen. Definitely love there more experimental and lore heavy episodes."

madeline_pollet shared a tip "Something Scary is great a bunch of short stories and the Edge of Sleep. I believe they are making it into a movie or something like that."

jalijah_webb shared a tip "It's weird and quirky. Sometimes it's a bit too slow, sometimes it's a bit too fast. Regardless of that though it's one of the most unique podcasts I've ever had the chance to listen to."

naus shared a tip "I'd say it's worth checking out! It's like if you took The Twilight Zone, put each episode in the same city (Night Vale), and decided you wanted to tell people the news about it. It's got some cool paranormal and supernatural stuff so if that's your jam: awesome!"

leo_wolf_6542 shared a tip "It's a good series to listen to, but it's not a good series to binge listen. It's set up like a news station of a small town, with many 'gags' if you will, those being how everyone treats something weird as something normal. I didn't really take it at a slow pace, so I kinda burned out on the series, but I still liked it."

jasmine_bright shared a tip "The faceless old lady was voiced by Matilda so I'm a big fan of that.If you're talking about the weather, The Bus is Late by Satellite High was far and away the best for me"

Carnation_Carnage shared a tip "I'm not very far into it (year 2~) and I'm already addicted! If it wasn't for the existential dread caused by my school's mandatory sensory deprivation, I would be listening all day! Interesting plot and a nice voice to convey it! The immersion is unmatched! -Carnation."
