![]() Since its launch in 2012, the show has become a popular podcast that has included appearances by famous fans, including Wil Wheaton, James Urbaniak and Glenn David Gold. Think of “A Prairie Home Companion” filtered through the anarchic paranoia of Art Bell’s “Coast to Coast AM” with a generous helping of David Lynch. Starring and narrated by the town’s community radio host, Cecil Palmer (voiced with sinister aplomb by actor Cecil Baldwin), “Night Vale” depicts the sort of place where government conspiracies and unexplained phenomena aren’t just possibilities, they’re a part of life. If any of these people or paradoxes sound familiar, you are among the listeners of “Welcome to Night Vale,” a twice-monthly podcast written by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. An old woman lives on the outskirts of town with a flock of helpful angels, which cannot be discussed by her neighbors because angels, the town insists, do not exist. Mysterious hooded figures linger near the local dog park, and it’s best if residents yield to them in traffic. ![]() ![]() A sentient Glow Cloud hovers in a sky filled with surveillance helicopters. ![]()
