Night Vale has a vampire in town. Well, had, anyway.

In this week's episode Cecil talks about Luca and his long, long life. It's a story about mistaking "comfortable" for "happy". It's about being okay with getting older, and learning to love the life we can have if we can just get the courage to leave a toxic person behind.

IN HAPPIER NEWS, the Binary System Podcast team has watched another episode of Good Omens, and The Mandalorian. Elizabeth has also watched an episode of of Black Mirror ("Mazey Day"), which so far has been the best out of a mostly indifferent season.

The Good Omens recap from Vulture that Elizabeth was talking about can be found here.
