Synopsis[]
Last night's PTA meeting accidentally opens a rift in spacetime, and Night Vale faces the consequences. Plus, changes afoot at the Night Vale Daily Journal, controversy at Radon Canyon, and our annual high school football preview!
Plot Developments[]
- Old Media Blues: The Night Vale Daily Journal will begin running ads on the front page, and has created a "Write Your Own News Story" program for interested citizens, as all staff writers have been laid off.
- High School Football: The Night Vale Scorpions are ready to take on Desert Bluffs in the upcoming season, especially junior quarterback Michael Sandero, who has received superpowers after being struck by a sentient lightning bolt.
Recurring Segments[]
Corrections (given as Retractions)[]
More breaking news on the Pteranodons. We humbly offer the following retractions from our previous reports. Secret Police are now reporting that the offending beasts were not Pteranodons after all, but Pteradactyls. Also, Pteranodons aren’t even dinosaurs as this station previously stated, just winged reptiles that lived about 70 million years after Pteradactyls. Finally, earlier we reported a death toll of zero when, in fact, the number is closer to 38. We regret these errors.
Trivia[]
- The part about sport was written by Jeffrey Cranor, who is the sports person in the writing duo.
- Throat spiders were also introduced by Jeffrey Cranor, who admitted that the idea sounded to him "like the single most horrifying thing ever". [1]
