Cecil has no canon design because no one can describe what he looks like. You know how Aphrodite is described in PJO? That's what I think Cecil is like. I don't know how to elaborate on this.
In the sponsors section of the live show on bandcamp, cecil mentions one of the sponsors is “this gesture” then the audience laughs. Does anyone know what the gesture was?
Was It Devours! Inspired by the scifi novel Dune?
With the giant sandworms with big teeth and discussion of science and religion, it seems related. I can’t find any discourse on this.

I’m new to the fandom and I just listened to the two parts of The Sandstorm. I tried looking for this detail I noticed, and although I couldn’t find anything, I reckon someone probably talked about it already, it’s a big fandom that’s been going on for a long time and maybe it was even addressed in further episodes.
So, when the vortex opens in Cecil’s and Kevin’s recording studios, Kevin describes the vortex as being light pink, and when Cecil arrives and describes all the horrible stuff in the booth, he says the vortex is white.
It’s a really subtle detail. This makes me believe the citizens of Desert Bluffs have, maybe literally, rose tinted glasses. They don’t necessarily see gruesome and terrible things as natural, but are actually under some spell and forced to see all the horrors as happiness and fun and never question anything.
I’ve been told Kevin features in future episodes and there’s a lot more to Desert Bluffs awaiting me, I’m excited to see! I wish I found this podcast sooner :)
Night vale is purgatory
Short version: Pretty sure The Faceless Old Woman's page has been vandalized.
Long version because I ramble:
Hey! I'm never really on the wiki but while listening to the latest episode I'd wanted to go add the last few weathers to my playlist, while scrolling around I noticed the picture for The Faceless Old Woman looked a bit odd and clicking on the page reveal what is either some kind of joke I'm not getting, or, more likely, extensive page vandalism. I'm on mobile currently and don't have the proper means to contribute to the wiki so I was hoping a contributor may see this. I have no idea how many if any other pages were vandalized and this could very well be some meta joke in poor taste but I doubt it.
What’s the podcast about? I’ve listened to the two most recent episodes and they’re beautiful descriptions and strange stories. What’s the plot?
So I recently got into the podcast after seeing some intriguing posts (like the night vale twitter) and today I listened to ep. 46, 'Parade Day'. I get to the part where Cecil says "How did you forget your place and date of birth? I understand you can't comprehend the relentlessness of existence, but your own birthday is easy to remember! Ok, fine, your birthday---" and i think "ok lets see how close he gets" and he says "--- is july 3rd," and I'm thinking that, of course he's wrong, how could he know my birthday, but then...
BUT THEN
BUT THEN!!!!!
"and you were born in Tulsa, Oklahoma."
When I tell you I froze, I mean it. Chills: deployed. Goosebumps: Activated. I think my overall body temperature dropped by like 20% at least. Why???
Because I'm sitting here in my house, born and still living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, listening to a podcast which randomly generated a city/state in the US and happened to mention my small little nook.
Anybody else get an unintentional shoutout in this podcast?
Eleanor Rigby is the faceless old woman who lives in your home.

I feel like even tho I just finished all the episodes that have been released so far, I don't understand a bunch of the stuff on this wiki, soo....... uuhhhh....... idk where I wanted to go with this, so just ignore me and have a good day :]
Not that they exist, but angels are said to have many arms in episode 54, the carnival one.
Hi, I'm new to this podcast and so I decided to follow the starter's guide on the Welcome to night vale website.
One of the suggested episodes is episode 42 - Numbers.
At some point in the episode, the girl who reads the numbers says " I don't know how long they've had me here, reading the numbers. I don't know what the numbers mean. They give me numbers, and I read the numbers. It is so easy to slip back into it. If I loosen my grip for even a moment, 78, 5, 29, 47, 47, forty....ah, you see?".
So, me being me, I googled the series of numbers that she said. I expected to find a word or something like that but instead.. I found this - https://maps.app.goo.gl/nCaHK8rFvMchunC8A
The first result google gave me was this, the coordinates to a site of the Vadsøya Island airship mast.
Is this all part of the show or did I just go too far?
