Mostly Void, Partially Stars

Mostly Void, Partially Stars Welcome to Night Vale Episodes, Volume 1

From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a collection of episodes from Season One of their hit podcast, featuring an introduction by the authors, behind-the-scenes commentary, and original illustrations. In June of 2012, the creators of Welcome to Night Vale began airing twice-weekly podcasts. By the anniversary show a year later, the fanbase had exploded, vaulting the podcast into the #1 spot on iTunes. Since then, its popularity has grown by epic proportions, hitting more than 100 million downloads, and Night Vale has expanded to a successful live multi-cast international touring stage show and a New York Times bestselling novel. Now the first two seasons are available as books, offering an entertaining reading experience and a valuable reference guide to past episodes. Mostly Void, Partially Stars introduces us to Night Vale, a town in the American Southwest where every conspiracy theory is true, and to the strange but friendly people who live there. Mostly Void, Partially Stars features an introduction by creator and co-writer Joseph Fink, behind-the-scenes commentary and guest introductions by performers from the podcast and notable fans, including Cecil Baldwin (Cecil), Dylan Marron (Carlos), and Kevin R. Free (Kevin) among others. Also included is the full script from the first Welcome to Night Vale live show, Condos. Beautiful illustrations by series artist Jessica Hayworth accompany each episode. Mostly Void, Partially Stars is an absolute must-have whether you’re a fan of the podcast or discovering for the first time the wonderful world of Night Vale.

Ok so I absolutely suck at listening to podcasts so I always felt bad about missing out on the wonderfully weird world of Welcome to Night Vale, why did no one tell me about this book?? Not only do I get to experience WTNV for myself, I also loved having little commentary and peeks at behind-the-scenes. This is definitely one of my favorite reads because despite being so random and so weird, there's something absolutely delightful about the town of Night Vale and dear Cecil who brings us the news, updating us on his personal life too.

Definitely enjoyed this! The behind-the-scenes info was neat as well. I didn't know that a lot of the contributors had ties to the New York Neo-Futurists, but I can't say I'm surprised.

I missed this so much and I wasn't even aware of it. I'm going through the earlier stuff to catch up to the more recent episodes and not feel completely lost. This is still as weird, funky and so soulful as I remembered it. These characters and their fast-paced lives in their weird desert community hold a special place in my heart.
