You get to discover it, and you’re like “Oh my gosh”.
There is something about discovering something that’s been around for a while that you didn’t know was there. Joseph: I don’t know about being envious other than to say it’s always exciting when I hear that people get into it for the first time and really love it. Are you envious of the people able to hear it for the first time? I still feel like we’re still kind of a newcomer. Although in retrospect we ended up being before the explosion in popularity and podcasting that happened. You know when we started in 2012 it honestly felt like we were coming late to podcasting because popular shows like Radiolab were already established then. When you arrive in Night Vale, you are truly lost. If you’re looking for escapist fantasy, then you can’t get much farther away than this. The bizarre conspiracies that are true, and the constant doublespeak can come to feel like a sense of comfort in our own chaotic world. In a strange way, they’ve come to feel like friends. If you listen for long, you will notice Cecil talking about the same strange characters from the town over and over again creating a sense of stability in the seeming turmoil.
#Joseph fink worth full
In a world full of retreads and people racing to be like everyone else, it’s so refreshing to come upon an original independent property that is wholly unique with a dynamic all-encompassing vision. Night Vale even has a high school football team whose former quarterback, Michael Sandero, grew a second head and whose mother remarked that she liked the second head better because it was “much handsomer and doesn’t talk back as much”. He provides the local color and gossip from all the towns denizens like John Peters, referred to as: you know, the farmer. He reports the local goings on be they as important as the mayoral race, or things that may or may not be happening. It’s actually quite soothing to hear him honor the deaths of his various interns at the station.
Cecil Baldwin voices the radio host with a measure of alacrity, and matter of factness about the daily dangers that await the residents. The show takes the form of a local news broadcast that reports on the strange goings on in the fictional desert town of Night Vale. If you aren’t backing away slowly, and thinking that this sounds way too strange, then you just may have discovered one of your new favorite things. You will begin to hear strange things tickle your ears about a five headed dragon that ran for mayor, about a faceless old woman that secretly lives in your home, and about a mysterious glow cloud that emits whistling noises, and is also the school board president. It is safe to say that in the town of Night Vale things are never as they seem, and once you listen to the podcast dear reader, you may never be the same either.
