Free, and others.Įven so, I have a feeling that those most enamored of the podcast might find these a little lackluster. A highlight of the books for me was the interspersed commentary from the show’s creators, Fink and Cranor, about specific episodes and events in the history of Night Vale’s growing popularity, and from members of the show’s main cast – Cecil Baldwin, Dylan Marron, Kevin R. Through reading these volumes, I learned what most people interested in buying them already know – that Night Vale is silly and entrancing, and it’s easy to get caught up in the mythos of this strange little town. With these two printed volumes of episodes, I could finally see what I was missing. Many of my friends are devoted disciples of Night Vale, but I could never really get into it, mostly because podcasts just aren’t my thing. Some might question why a show that has been so tremendously successful in its original medium would want to publish a collection of episodes in an altogether different medium, but I, for one, am a fan. Mostly Void, Partially Stars and The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe collect episodes from the first and second year of the podcast’s existence, respectively. Now, two volumes of episode transcripts (along with special new bonus material) have also been released in print. Last year’s novel Welcome to Night Vale introduced the cult hit podcast to a whole new audience (not to mention giving devoted fans a longer narrative to chew on).
