A Hugo nominated sci-fi/ fantasy author

It should be noted that he was nominated by a committee called The Sad Puppies who protest diversification of Hugo nominees. A non-zero number of them publish for BAEN publishing, which is famous for its holographic foil pulp novels, typically a lot of military science fiction. There's a more aggressive group called Angry Puppie's that are essentially the alt-right. Tingle's response was admirable and rejected the Puppies ballot.

Just wanna say the last two episodes have been really fantastic. I hated the eGemony story and wasn't a huge fan of the three-parter before that either so it's been nice to have one that I'm actually enjoying - a lot! Looking forward to hearing the rest of it, I have a feeling this story overall might end up ranking amongst Night Vale's finest, if episode 3 is as good as the first two.

What’s the protocol for live shows? Do they eventually all get released? I know that happened with the first few, but did Ghost Story ever become downloadable? And All Hail is starting another tour, so who knows when that one will be available.

I want to talk about All Hail, but it’s not right to spoil it when some people might still see it live.

https://nightvale.bandcamp.com/ Ghost stories is the first link. Generally it's downloadable when the touring is done. All Hail is on tour now so won't be released for some time I'd imagine.

I didn’t know if that was allowed. I’ve been to some live shows where the participants were sworn to secrecy until it was released publicly.

that mostly just means dont record it and put it up on youtube and poo poo like that (although some of our musical guests have a different policy for their set) and dont be an rear end in a top hat about major plot revelations and that sort of thing. its not an actual vow of secrecy just treat it like you would any kind of spoilers in media.

So. Yeah. Now I know what happens when O Henry personally fuckin' hates you, I guess.

(e. I thought, for the record, that this was probably the strongest storyline so far this year, certainly by far the best of the multipart stories. But goddamn what a brutal ending.)

hello here is some some live shows news

we are doing Alice Isn't Dead live in LA at the Largo on April 5th. we did this Alice Isn't Dead live once before in Seattle and here is a review: "that was some freaky poo poo man" - the sound guy at the Seattle show. tickets: https://www.largo-la.com/event/1643575

and we are doing one last tour of All Hail. western Canada and US. that's right we are coming back to Winnipeg! also this tour includes one of the most haunted venues we've performed in, the Bing Crosby in Spokane. lots of tech crews tell us about ghosts and stuff wherever we go but that place is legit creepy. http://www.welcometonightvale.com/live/

One note: while it has some the same basic structure as the Seattle show, I'm rewriting it completely to be about LA, so if you saw or heard that Seattle one, this is still going to have a ton of new material. But all the freaky poo poo will be in there from the Seattle one. Best of both worlds.

Do you do signings at the shows? I have the signed editions of Mostly Void, Partially Stars and The Great Glowing Coils of the Universe and would like to get them signed by Cecil Baldwin.

I think the one in Seattle was recorded by the Podcon people and released to donors or remote attendees or something, though I have not heard it yet myself. I'm planning to record the LA performance for our own archives at least.

Finally got my butt to finish that 3 parter. I was gritting my teeth at that ending, I wanted to scream "that's not fair!"

Can something give you life and yet be sapping you will to live at the same time? Cause I'm feeling that right now. Thanks for being such a great show

I listened to the preview on WTNV, but I don't think I'll be listening to the show itself. I'm impressed by the care both Tingle and Cecil put into the project, but gay erotica isn't really my thing.

Is "Chuck Tingle" voiced by Emo Phillips, or does he really sound like that?

That's a very problematic opinion, to dismiss an entire podcast entirely because of your own homophobia.

You've got a clean rapsheet, so how about in the future:

1) Do better with your application of Poe's Law
or
2) Don't accuse people of horrible things just for kicks.

I'm glad Alice isn't Dead season 3 is starting so strong.

S2 felt a little meandering with the agent constantly interjecting (the voice actress was great and she was a creepy villain, just felt like she hurt the pacing) but the narrators this time really work.
