Welcome to Night Vale

So lately i have been listening to the podcast Welcome To Night Vale.
Its basically a radio station in a mysterious town called Night Vale. A desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and where the mysterious lights pass over head as the residents try to pretend that the lights don't exist. Cecil, the news reporter talks about the current events that are happening in the town of Night Vale. Such as the new resident that has come to Night Vale, Carlos. With beautiful and perfect hair Carlos is a scientist, says Cecil. What does he want from the town? Cecil recalls that at the town meeting Carlos (with his perfect hair and straight teeth like a military cemetery) says that Night Vale is one of the most scientifically interesting cities in the USA, and has come to study just what is going on in Night Vale. Another story covered by Cecil was that a new Dog Park has opened. The City Council of Night Vale says that dogs are not allowed in the Dog Park, people are not allowed in the Dog Park and to ignore the hooded figures in the Dog Park. Lastly, Cecil talks to us about what precautions to take when you are talking your kids out to the Scrub Lands and Sandwastes. He tells us to make sure we give them enough water, and locate a shade tree. Also, that we should be aware of the colors of the helicopters flying over head. If the helicopter is black, its probably the World Government- not a good day for play. Are the helicopters blue? Then that's the Sheriffs Secret Police. They will take good care of your children and hardly ever take them. Do the helicopters have complex murals with many different colors on them depicting birds of prey? No one knows what those helicopters are, or what they want. Do not play when you see those helicopters, lock your doors, and cover your ears to blot out the screaming as you wait for the Sheriffs Secret Police to leave a carnation on your front door step. And that Gatorade is basically soda and to feed your kids orange slices when they are hungry.

You can listen to Welcome to Night Vale on Podcasts from iTunes (and its free!!). The producers of this podcast series are Common Place Books, and they release a new podcast twice every month.  Welcome to Night Vale, with its amazing weather segments and very convincing advertisements, is something that I would recommend everyone to listen to.
(This is all what happens in the first podcast)
