Welcome to Night Vale
For those unfamiliar with the show, Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small town of Night Vale, a desert community rife with supernatural events. The show is rich with dark humor and New Orleanians can see a live performance of it at the Civic Theater on July 12. Tickets and information, CivicNOLA.com.
