Last week was our Christmas episode so of course Night Vale released a Christmas episode for us to recap the next day. But seeing as how it was a downer of a story about mortality and terror, it's probably good we waited until after Christmas to recap it. And to cheer ourselves up, we also talked about Penguin's father on Gotham, Klaus' predicament after season three of The Originals, and the city of pirate ships in China Mieville's The Scar.

A very happy new year to everybody!

This week's outro music is a clip from disparition's theme at the end of episode 140 of Welcome to Night Vale, if you want to hear the whole thing you can find it here. https://youtu.be/h0YeaqlD6K8

Correction (or clarification) - we guessed right: when Cecil talked about the radio station being hijacked this time last year, he was talking about Kevin and “All Smile’s Eve,” one year ago to the day. https://youtu.be/8nwpPXbDzOM
