“No weather, no war, no man, no illness, and no god may stop me from my duty. All people deserve prompt delivery. And all people eventually get what they deserve.”

This week’s episode of Welcome To Night Vale is a fascinating little short story about Night Vale’s newest character: The Delivery Man. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the pandemic, it’s that we all love getting a package delivered. Even if it’s being delivered by a mysteriously threatening figure with a drawn-on face, ground-down teeth, and a weird habit of counting his steps. (“Goooood old five…”)

After the recap we read aloud a Binary System Podcast super-fan’s letter about how to love a series with some disappointing episodes and a toxic fanbase, and how to keep loving a series when the creator turns out to be a pretty rotten human being.

We also talk (again) about some of the movies and TV shows we really need to catch up on, with a plan to finish at least one of them in time for next week’s podcast. Really. We mean it this time.
