Alright, so here's the thing: I have never listened to the podcast. What happened was that I just happened to pick up the book, "Welcome to Night Vale" on whim and totally loved it. However, I have never gotten into podcasts nor does my commute force me to sit for a long period of time to listen to them. I discover that the script was made in book form and I absolutely understand that this show is meant to be listened to and experienced, I really did enjoy reading this immensely! It has all the quirky features without becoming overwhelming weird and enough strangeness for a conspiracy theory-loving desert town to seem, well... fairly typical!

If you are interested in the existence that is Night Vale and, like me, have found yourself unable to get around listening to the podcast, I would recommend either reading this for a direct script of the show OR kicking off with the novel, "Welcome to Night Vale." I believe either one of those will be a great introduction to the entire production and quite possibly will make you open that dang phone, get the podcast on there, and start listening... like I will tonight.
