Tipps posted:At first is was pretty goony and relied on wacky/random style humor which was pretty bad, but for the last few months they've had/just wrapped up an ongoing story-arc with recurring characters and an actual plot that has kept the storytelling much tighter and better imo. The tumblr/dashcon fandom is loving terrible, but the show itself is fun.

gently caress the ROW posted:what's with so many dumb homosexuals being the writers or mods for this website? And making podcasts? Who has time to listen to these things, slightly fatter homosexuals? I just don't get it anymore if you don't have a podcast about 90's ska music or children's cartoons then you are literally nobody.

So I finally got around to checking out the “Welcome to Night Vale” podcast: I read the transcripts from the first two episodes at this Tumblr fan site and I was won over by the delicious, delirious storytelling. That got me hooked. Writers Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor have painted a surreal universe with aptly chosen odd-ball details, suggestive hints, gonzo riffs and deadpan understatement. It’s creepy and funny and quotable and very well done overall. So then I listened to the podcast. Ugh. No. This is not at all what I had been reading. The conceit of the show is that you’re listening to a community radio station serving the isolated and very strange desert town of Night Vale. Read transcripts of the show and that is exactly the voice you will encounter. It’s the idiosyncratic voice of a strangely serene, reassuringly incurious and matter-of-fact community radio host. But the podcast itself does not allow you to encounter that voice. You won’t hear that voice in the podcast. What you’ll hear, instead, is a book on tape, read by the narrator of a book on tape using his very best books-on-tape narrator’s voice. That’s not the voice of a community radio host. It’s the voice of someone who has apparently never heard a community radio host. This voice has nothing to do with the premise of the show. Reading transcripts of the show, I heard the voice of this small-town radio host and it drew me into the story. Listening to books-on-tape-narrator guy reading those same words took away that voice and pushed me out of the story. The storytelling of Night Vale is really good, but the form needs to complement the content. It should be a radio play, not a book on tape. And it should be a radio play that sounds like a radio broadcast. Somebody like Roy Blount Jr. or Tom Bodett should be reading this stuff. Maybe Tim Russell. Heck, Glenn Beck would be pretty good. Or Don Imus. Joe Frank probably sounds too much like Joe Frank, but George Noory or Art Bell would be terrific. Maybe all they really need is someone who can do a good Jean Shepherd imitation. But not books-on-tape-narrator guy.

the concept sounded kinda neat so i listened to like 10 minutes or so of the first episode. it was poo poo so i turned it off. there's no subtlety to it, nothing eerie or mysterious about it. instead every paranormal/conspiracy/x-files thing is happening simultaneously

every episode is basically the same. the dude talks about weird things, but they're just like the weird things from last week. and after like 20 episodes they put some gay romance in, which is maybe different week to week, i don't know.

Here are some quotes from the past that will inform the current conversation. Please look to these quotes whenever self-hating goons get anxious to conform and dogpile something. ToxicSlurpee posted:Goons hate everything. Goons have always hated everything. Goons will always hate everything. There is no love, there is no liking. There is only hate. Benedick Cuckold posted:fascinating. this poster actually admits to liking a nerd thing in GBS, yet he still feels the need to include a stock anti-nerd, GBS-sanctioned disclaimer as a means to signal his continued loyalty to the in-group, head off any potential criticism of his opinion, and avoid excessive shaming by the community. each day, i feel i'm getting closer and closer to a Grand Unified Theory of GBS Posting. Wendigee posted:goons hate everything and thus deserve nothing. Benedick Cuckold posted:We're all self-hating goons. That's become the defining premise of this site.

wtnv is funny and good, but it's probably not for everyone. also i think tumblr only likes it because there is a gay relationship in it so they don't have to work as hard to ship it
