Tell me what to write in a Night Vale episode right now
Added 2023-02-10 18:15:51 +0000 UTCI'm writing an episode right now, and I need some one-off segments. What are some one-off segment categories (like traffic and word from our sponsor, but less common) that you have enjoyed and would like to see again? Please do not provide any specific ideas for those segments as we can't really use outside ideas.
Thank you!

2023-02-12 17:23:48 +0000 UTCIt was part of Traffic, but I adored We Are Eternal; We Will Not Last. I want it recited at my funeral, and I recently sent a calligraphied copy to a friend who lost their partner to suicide (I emailed asking if I could buy a print, but I didn't get a response and they needed it. Still love to buy a print for myself, though). The last section of 220 Radio Jupiter Holiday Special hit a similar spot. So maybe I want more poetry?

2023-02-10 18:26:05 +0000 UTCCitizen spotlight on other citizens we don't hear that often. One of the reasons I love your books so much is that they introduced new characters and we really got to know them better. Then when I heard them mentioned on the radio show I freaked out! (and then promptly had to tell my wife their entire backstory and why they are so important!) I love how expansive this universe is and want to know more!
Diego Malvar
