This week Night Vale is dealing with another worm infestation (has it really been twelve years since the last one? How time flies...) but all the destruction and chaos and trees being dropped on cars isn't a big deal compared to the REAL crisis: Cecil is trying to find a way into the Dog Park!

Join the twins as they recap Welcome to Night Vale episode 66 "worms..."

Listener Ashley sent us a creepy piece of Station Management fan art by tumblr user Nimsley (and originally shared by Cecil Baldwin himself), you can see it here.

Kathryn found a piece by rimedimichelangelo on tumblr about rabbits and why you should watch them carefully, you can see it here.

She also found a beautiful piece by stem-cell on tumblr in the style of the Night Vale logo, and you can see that one here.

This week we snuck into Cecil’s office and listened to all his voice mails: a lot of very strange people are trying to reach him. Also Kathryn channels her inner Fey while Elizabeth is looking for her phone.

(Sorry about the occasional clicking in the background, Elizabeth's mic is dying, we tried to fix it in post and ended up...making it more noticeable? In related news, never ever ever buy a Samson portable mic. They are crap.)

Kathryn found three great pieces of fan art of our favorite 5-headed dragon. The first is by Littletde on deviantart, you can find it here.

The second is by Expression on deviantart, and you can find that one here.

And the third, despite the fact that we now know the main head is gold (...sorry, sable) is our favorite. It's by asutori on tumblr, and you can find it here.

Original broadcast date March 5, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/03/night-vale-recap-episode-63-there-is-no-part-1-part-2/

Our story continues with Part Two! (...don't worry, you didn't miss anything, there is no Part One. Confused? Sounds like you're human! Good luck!)

This week Cecil picks up where he left off with all the exciting events of significance that happened last time! He's not going to tell you about those events, because you were already there for them, right? One thing he does remind you about is an event that happened more than a year ago. (You thought they'd forgotten about that, didn't you?)

So brace yourselves and fasten your spiders as the twins recap Welcome To Night Vale "There Is No Part 1: Part 2."

Tune in just one week from now as we recap the just-released recording of "The Librarian," available right now from the Night Vale website and iTunes.

Leann Hart of the Night Vale Daily Journal is at it again, throwing hatchets at bloggers to cut down (har) on the competition and...wait a minute. Bloggers?

Isn't that what we are?

Elizabeth found a version of "Good Night Moon" done in a Night Vale style, written by Teripops, you can find an illustrated version of it here.

Original broadcast date February 5, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/02/night-vale-recap-episode-61-briny-depths/

This week Cecil has a fan request: they'd very very much like him to say their favorite phrase, it'd make them so happy, because it's their birthday. And their friend's birthday. And millions of millions of other people's birthdays. And they'd all just love for him to say this one. Specific. Phrase.

Please.

Join the twins as they recap Welcome to Night Vale episode 61, “BRINY DEPTHS.”

Elizabeth found an excellent Rule 63 (gender swapped) Cecil cosplay by Aicosu on deviantart, photography by Cosplay Close Up, model Sheila. You can see it here.

Street musician (and classically trained cellist) Gabriel Royal performed "Remember Us" for the Night Vale episode "Condos." We found a youtube recording by BUSKRS of him performing "On Again Off Again Friend" in a Brooklyn subway. It's definitely worth a listen. You can find it here.

Original broadcast date January 22, 2015. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2015/01/night-vale-recap-episode-60-water-failure/

At Night Vale Radio they report the absolute more important, ground breaking news first: there's no water at the station so nobody can make coffee! Oh, and also there's multiple suns in the sky burning everything to the ground. AND NO COFFEE.

Join the twins as they recap Welcome to Night Vale episode 60, “Water Failure.”

(This is the episode where Cecil calls the water company and listens to the pre-recorded phone tree, which is probably up there with our top ten favorite Night Vale moments, you should listen to "Water Failure" for that if nothing else.)

Kathryn found two pieces of Night Vale fan art this week, one is of Cecil meeting Erika and Erika and Erika (and howling) by tumblr user evictedfromjupiter.  You can find that here.

There's also a lovely animated gif of an "angel" by tumblr user surikane here.

Breaking news, Night Vale listeners: the Antiques have escaped! (...or did they...) Packs of feral antiques are now roaming the streets, and you know how dangerous and unpredictable they are. Oh, and Carlos makes a visit, but he’s non-corporeal, so probably safe.

It's the last Welcome To Night Vale episode of 2014! (By a staggering coincidence it's also the last Night Vale recap of 2014, how bout that?) Night Vale loves to celebrate the holidays, and by "celebrate" we mean "protest the mysterious monolith that has appeared in front of city hall, or protest the protestors, or get dragged off by the Sheriff's Secret Police." You know, the usual.

Join the twins as they recap Welcome to Night Vale Episode 58, "Monolith."

Kathryn found three amazing pieces of tumblr fan art this week, the first is a lovely version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas," Night Vale style, by zeniamiarts, you can see it here.

The second is by sunnychespin, very dark and precise, called "And He Was Holding A Cat." You can see that one here.

And finally there's a brilliant animation by Cheriiart and Kali, a collaboration for their animation class, you can find it here.
