I started listening to WTNV after I finished listening to the 1978 (I think) radio play series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The books are good, but the radio play is even better. I couldn't just go back to listening to music at work, so I got online, did a quick Bing search and found Welcome to Night Vale.
It's surrealist humor and horror, and it's the best thing to happen to me at work. It makes even the blandest days go by faster. Plus, there is absolutely zero queerbaiting, which I feared early on. Listen to the pilot. Go ahead and ship it. It'll all work out. Kinda. I'm 74 episodes in, and it's still brilliant.
