Wtnv quick rundown - Live Show - All Hail
Check the rest of my rundowns here, or by using the names in my pinned!
Sticks and stones may break your bones. That is just one of a number of things that sticks and stones may do. Welcome to Night Vale.
Featuring the voices of Meg Bashwiner as Deb and Caitlyn, Hal Lublin as Steve Carlsberg, Joseph Fink as Josh Crayton, Symphony Sanders as Tamika Flynn, Desiree Burch as Pamela Winchell, Kates Jones as Michelle Nyugen, Emma Frankland as Sheriff Sam and Jeffery Cranor as himself/Intern Jeffery.
The radio station is being 'visited' by the Glow Cloud, which is hovering overhead. It starts to drop dead cows on the station. Cecil, assuming they must have disappointed the Glow Cloud somehow, leads everyone in receiting the Glow Cloud Oath of Fealty.
The Oath doesn't work and everyone listening to the broadcast is being gripped with Glow Cloud worshipping mass hysteria. Cecil insists they do it again. He then ponders why everyone but himself is affected, coming to the realisation that he's been affected this whole time without realising it, only believing himself to be talking normally. In fact there's a recording of him worshipping and chanting to the Glow Cloud all the way back to when Deb was there.
The Glow Cloud then directly speaks through Cecil. It states that it does not desire worship, but communication, which it can't do unless it takes over a human body. Every time it tries to communicate people start to worship and grovel which is not the desired reaction at all.
It goes on to says that instead of worrying about being good to the Glow Cloud everyone should be good to each other instead. In fact the oath is supposed to be a oath to be good to each other and it also suggests saying all hail as a casual greeting not as worship.
It also states that the dropping animals thing is a medical condition and that the animals are already dead when they drop from it, as it actually loves animals especially turtles and would never harm them.
When Cecil is released from control it appears he believes he was going through his broadcast as normal and has learnt nothing from what was said (probably not even hearing it).
Weather: “See Me” by Mal Blum
Deb is here with her sister Caitlyn, doing an ad for Hilton hotels. She also apparently has family members called Sean, Connor and Megan. Caitlyn says that her 'kid sister' Deb is actually the weird one, because she spends so much time with humans. Meanwhile, Caitlyn only spends time with humans if she wants to drain their life energy. Deb says she's always stressed out when her sister comes to town.
Steve Carlsberg is there in the station as he is banks VP of community outreach and there to talk about the bank sponsored NV Jazz Fest. Cecil is not happy about this. Cecil is also surprised that Steve is VP of a bank as he apparently has trouble remembering his own house number. Steve says he has always been good at finance and even minored in counting, being able to count absurdly high. He offers to demonstrate this but Cecil interrupts him and gets him back on track talking about the Jazz Fest. Steve says that the Jazz Fest will involve literally running out into the desert to try and find jazz which will result in them being attacked by wild animals (especially birds). Steve hugs Cecil before he leaves.
Josh Crayton(16) is there, in the form of a '30 something podcast writer' to talk about his experiences as a student under the Glow Cloud. Josh says that the Glow Cloud seems to be a pretty good admin and that he's friends with the Glow Cloud's child.
Tamika is on the show, talking passionately as always about the power of books as physical bludgeoning instruments and tools against being easily controlled by the Glow Cloud by reading them. She has plans to get rid of the Glow Cloud, but they don't seem to account for the Glow Cloud being a cloud and seem to be more about what she thinks will be cool.
Pamela is there to give an emergency press conference about the Glow Cloud. She apparently has a crush on Deb (who according to Pamela is a great dresser). She rambles in her usual way, not saying much of sense and claiming she's a hologram.
Michelle's segment is on the same subject as Steve's as her part is a bonus track. Here we learn she went to business school, is only running the shop as art and doesn't take cash any more because she doesn't believe in capitalism. She insists she doesn't hate people, just dislikes them and is frustrated that they don't what good music is. Cecil likes Ed Sheeran. Michelle leaves, saying that she and Maureen are going to spray paint some birds. Like, actual birds.
Sheriff Sam barges in and tells us about how they use lasers to mark androids as theives should they try to steal engagement rings, which they are apparently fond of doing. Cecil engagement ring apparently has a stone in the shape of a beaker and gold filigree wrapped around which says 'I'm very interested in science these days'. They apparently haven't even noticed the Glow Cloud before Cecil points it out.
Intern Jeffery has apparently invented time travel and uses it to erase his fears, including preventing the invention of the aeroplane and eventually preventing his own existence so he won't die as an intern.
(There's also apparently segments with Carlos, Dana, Earl and Melony but I don't have access to them sorry).

actually, you don’t need to understand the complex ways in which Cecil and Kevin operate within their narrative as both reflections of each other and opposites, both identical and antithetical, doubles but not truly doubles— all you really need to know is that Cecil crochets, and Kevin knits.

It's so wild to me that is been ten years of Welcome to Night Vale. I got into this podcast around year 2 or 3 and it means so much to me, still to this day.
Not to mention, the impact WTNV had on podcasting. It singlehandedly resurrected the audio drama format and did so with qureeness at it's core in a time where that wasn't nearly as acceptable as it is now. It may not feel as big now, especially when almost every audio drama is queer in some form or fashion, but this was a big deal. It is the reason for all these queer audio dramas.
I want to say thank you so much to the cast and creators, for all your amazing and hard work for the last ten years, giving us this amazing and free content. You are all incredible and helped so many people.

Should I start listening to Welcome to Night Vale? What's it aboot?
Oh boy. Oh boy.
(Let it be known that if my irl friends heard you ask this, they would tackle me to prevent the rant I would go on)
I definitely think anyone who likes audio drama should listen to Welcome To Night Vale because it is one of the first contemporary audio dramas and possibly THE first wildly successful one. So much of what you hear in recent audio dramas is inspired by/draws from WTNV. But even if you don't like or are new to audio drama, there is so much to love about Night Vale.
So, the actual plot: Night Vale is a friendly, Midwestern, desert community where everyone's favorite radio show is hosted by Cecil Palmer. Cecil is the cheery "voice of Night Vale" who updates listeners on community news like the angels living by the old car lot, the mysterious glowing cloud which drops dead animals from the sky, and the teenage militia defending their right to read at the library. Cecil occasionally (all the time) interjects with his own personal thoughts and experiences like how terrible the scones Steve Carlsberg made for the PTA meeting were, his niece's basketball team, or the handsome new scientist who recently arrived to study Night Vale.
I would talk about the themes of the show, but they cover so much and it all is so important to me. Everything from family to growing up to feeling different to trauma to grief to growth to capitalism to community to fear to love to the dangers of teaching a spider to read.
It's really an incredible show and I recommend at least giving it a try. It has a dry humor I think everyone can appreciate (including my 58 year old mother who listened during blackout when there was no internet and it was the only thing I had downloaded), even if audio drama or creepiness isn't your thing.
