A couple years before writing the first words of the first episode of Night Vale, I had an idea for a series of poems written by the dictionary. I would take a single word and then do my best to form its definition into poetry. The word itself would be obscured, and would have to be inferred from...

Director's Notes: 208 - Cecil in The Big City
When Joseph and I write the podcast scripts, we tend to do so on our own. There’s communication, of course, about what we’re writing. Sometimes we chat back and forth to try to refine some ideas. What do you think of this? What if we did that? And then we go off separately to write the episod...

I have three cats: Barry, Carol, and Reba. They're very different kids. Carol is the spoiled indoor-kid. Reba is a feral rescue and tends to be the elusive, quiet goth. And Barry, is something else entirely.
Barry is a rescue, as well, and we think she might have been a bodega cat, or...

Weather that never was: Erin McKeown
Hey, Joseph Fink here. After all these years, I thought it might be fun to share with our patrons some of the weather songs that never were.

This episode is a riff on Moby Dick obviously. I’ve never read Moby Dick, but statistically, you haven’t either. Still we know the main signifiers: the first line, the premise, “from hell’s heart” etc. Some books live two lives: the first as a book, written by a specific person, that yo...
