Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast series which airs
twice a month and is presented as a radio show.
It is
set in a
small desert town called Night Vale, which is located somewhere in the southwestern United States.
The idea behind it is that in this town a whole
lot of conspiracy theories are
true and news that we (outsiders) would think is unusual is presented as if it is perfectly ordinary.
Every episode of the podcast includes a piece of music by a different independently-published artist as its "weather report".
It was created by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, is voiced by Cecil Baldwin, and is published by Commonplace Books.The theme and background instrumental music to the series was created by the
band Disparition.
