January 15, 2026 Bonus Ep January 2026 - In The House Where I Was Born
See the schedule of the final stretch of our Murder Night in Blood Forest tour, and buy tickets here: https://www.welcometonightvale.com/live

Some time ago, I went looking for recommendations on old radio plays to listen to. Despite what many people think, I don't actually have a strong familiarity with old radio plays outside of the famous War of the Worlds (which I once watched performed live in LA by the cast of Star Trek: Next Generation. Yes, it ruled.). One show that came up a lot was Quiet Please by Wyllis Cooper, who was considered one of the best innovators of radio drama in his time. One reddit comment called out "In The House Where I Was Born", a 1949 episode, as a highlight. So I gave it a listen. You can do so here.
The episode does not sound anything like what we imagine old time radio to sound like. He's doing something that sound much closer to modern fiction podcasting. And I decided I wanted to write my own riff on the subject, replacing the more straight forward ghost story of the episode with something a little more specifically Night Vale. This is the result.
Here's to you, Wyllis Cooper. From one writer of audio fiction to another: may your legacy live on.
