      @@commonlogic3646 it kind of gets a storyline, but kinda not; all the random stuff interweaves and things make more sense, incidents have a clear, chronological order and are consistent from episode to episode. although there is no main plot, there are going to be consistent subplots and series of episodes that have an independent plot (those have an identical title among one another and are numbered)

    Hello, comment section.
    I am a Night Vale resident who traveled all the way back here from episode 86. If you're new here, let me just say you're in for a hell of a good time if you stick it out. There is so much that happens in later episodes that you will come to know, love, and enjoy (as well as ship). This is truly an amazing series, so I encourage you to stick with it as much as you can. I hope you have a good time.
    All hail the Glow Cloud.

    Brings me back to the first time I heard night vale: I was on a walk at night with some friends - it was one of those crazy, misty-cold nights you think only exist in fantasy. My friend was trying to play it on his tinny little phone speaker, witch didn't work, so he placed it inside a conch shell, witch created a deeply weird and wonderful reverb.

    My aunt showed me this series when she helped me house sit for my parents in 2017 or so and we laughed and laughed at all of the show's splendid wackiness. That night we listened to the first three episodes and she helped me realize I wanted to be an author.
    On July 4 2020 my aunt lost her battle with breast cancer. We had made a promise to each other to only listen to episodes together, so up until she died we'd only managed to listen to 10 or so given how rarely we got time to just goof off together living hours apart and her partner not really liking me for unrelated reasons that to this day are a mystery.
    After she died I found it really damn hard to come back to Night Vale, even for short visits. Every time I tried it felt like it was just another town where my aunt was dead and I didn't want to be there, where my aunt wasn't.
    It's been a few years so I've decided to give this another go from the start, and I know this one's gonna be hard like the others but if I listen closely enough I can almost hear her laughing with me. I can see her standing there by the dog park where dogs aren't allowed and she's smiling her wonderful smile and everything just might be okay if I try really hard.
    I'm working on my first novel now, so I know she's proud of me. Thanks, Night Vale. Thank you.
