Back in 2024, we appointed Welcome to Night Vale co-creator Joseph Fink to be the Dark Universe's Head of Television. Now, he's returned to the show to pitch Dylan & Dalton FIVE new TV ideas that run the gamut from hospital drama to reality competition show! It's a jam-packed one-hour creative jam session like nothing we've done before.

Check out Joseph's new podcast The Best Worst, and find out if Welcome to Night Vale's live tour is coming to a city near you this summer, fall, or winter!

Our podcast partner this week is The White Meat Podcast, on which filmmaker David Dylan Thomas and a parade of filmmakers, fans, and historians discuss the inspiration and production of his upcoming zombie horror-comedy about the bodies of enslaved people rising from the grave with a powerful and very specific hunger for the flesh of white people. If you like hearing us yammer on about our imaginary movies, go follow someone who's actually making one!
