Podcast Recommendation: Welcome to Nightvale
Victoria, 2T4 PB
Why would you recommend this podcast? What do you like about it?
Mysterious and oddly charming, WTNV broadcasts radio news from the fictional desert community of Nightvale, where supernatural conspiracy theories are real and government agents from a “vague, yet menacing” agency attempt to control their citizens. Each episode is a standalone narrative (with several overarching storylines) recounting paranormal horrors through an absurdly calm voice, allowing listeners to temporarily escape their own reality for a bizarre alternative. Featuring dark comedy and the occasional pearl of wisdom, the podcast is a refreshingly far-fetched parody of the United States in a style that’s vaguely comparable to Stephen King or Hannibal.

To quote directly from the podcast: There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world.
