I wanted to hear Night Vale from Pilot episode 1 then next episode up to the last but ypur automatic next episode just shuffles to last 3 episodes 280, 279 and 278.I wanted to hear from the oldest to the newest audio.
I’m just starting this podcast now after finishing the Magnus archives recently. For anyone who loves the Magnus archives, you should definitely give this a try! It’s funny, spooky, and an all-around lovely listening experience. Give it a go!
It just doesn’t get any better than Night Vale. Been listening for years; I always have fun hanging out with my friends Cecil, Carlos, Steve, the Faceless Old Woman etc. They are such creepy comforts. If you haven’t seen them live yet, do it! Done it twice now and it is so worth it
276 - the big game. Blew me away. Im a divorced dad of a 3yo and just had the 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend who has a 8yo and 4 yo. This episode broke me at the part where the boy says his dad's girlfriend doesn't love him like his mom, she likes him as his dad's girlfriend.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
My most favorite podcast! It’s perfect for listening to it while multitasking since don’t need to know anything to follow the story! I 100 percent recommend it to anyone and everyone! Especially if you like randomly quoting irrelevant things. Which reminds me: All hail the Glow Cloud. All kneel for the Glow Cloud. SACRIFICE! PESTILENCE! SORES! All hail the Glow Cloud
