Welcome to Night Vale: A Conversation with Jeffrey Cranor May 05, 2022

Show notes

Night Vale isn’t your ordinary hometown. Everything you’d expect from a small desert community has been turned on its head. Beware the public library because it is filled with monstrous librarians. Go visit the local bowling alley, but watch out for the mysterious metropolis hidden underneath lane number five. And celebrate the creation of the newly built dog park, but remember that people are not allowed in the dog park. Dogs are not allowed in the dog park. You might see hooded figures in the dog park, but the dog park will not hurt you.

Tune in as The Daily Brew interviews Jeffrey Cranor, one of the co-creators of the legendary Night Vale podcast.

Lines of Love: "Unconditional Familial Love on the Front Lines of Danger" Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

"Unlike me, Dad is not afraid of movies about ghosts. He’s not afraid of movies about zombies or witches or anything of the sort. In his calm and collected voice, he explained to me that he’s only scared of criminal/psychological thrillers. He pointed out those are the types of things that can happen to any of us."

In her essay, "Unconditional Familial Love on the Front Lines of Danger," Crystal Chen ’22 explores themes of familial love, expression, and culture.
