My wife and daughter just told me about this. It's a pod cast done as a radio broadcast from a very strange community in the dessert called Nightvale.

Got a description? That link seemed to be a subscription to their podcast.

If you go to the bottom of the page, you'll see a list of the 29 episodes. Each one has a link that reads "play now" and it will bring up the pod cast in Quicktime. I haven't had to pay anything to listen to the three I've heard so far.
As far as a description. Imagine an NPR broadcast similar to what Harrison Kellar (I think that was the name) used to do but from some place similar to the Twilight Zone.

If you right click the red "Play Now" link you can "Save Target As" and download the MP3 file.

Wow! Thank you Ed! I have been looking for something like this! You see, I have a radio station. I've been a broadcaster since 1976. After I got to Augusta, Maine from Florida, I had to start over. So, I acquired equipment and have a pretty good system set up.
I use the Talking House 5.0 Real Estate Transmitter set on 1560-AM. I can use this without a license. The coverage is amazing, but I just need the immediate neighborhood covered. It does that nicely. I broadcast all kinds of stuff, Grateful Dead shows, Coast-To-Coast AM, alternative rock, Oldies, Doo-Wop...a lot of different stuff. This will add to my library nicely. I downloaded all 29 episodes. I'll let ya know what they think. Oh, here is my station set up temportarily on the dining room table. DRAT! I can't attach a pic. This is BS. The Café is sorely lacking here. Oh well. Anyway, thanks! Doug |

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

If you're really having trouble getting the files on my link to play. Go to youtube and search for "Night Vale" there's a guy there who has made up a slide show illustrating the stories. To a degree, this kind of spoils the imagination aspect of the pod cast, but it's still pretty good.

These are about 20 minutes long each. I'm thinkin', either 3 in a row for an hour block, or mix in Old Time Radio shows like Lights Out! or X Minus One. Thank you Ed! Night Vale will get some airplay this weekend!

Not to be a wet blanket, but do they give permission for a third party to play the episodes?

Not sure about that. It's a podcast. I see no way to contact them. Well, they can always tell me to stop.

I've looked around several web-pages for "Night Vale." I can't find anything either so, best of luck.

I downloaded the first 25 shows (the first year) just by right clicking the "play now" button and saving it on my computer (as stated in my previous post). Interesting show. Thanks for the link. Iven

Oh yeah, I can download the episodes for my own personal use, but does that give me permission to re-broadcast the programs on my own radio show?

I do anyway. Not making a profit. Just havin' fun...

Believe it or not, you don't have to make a "profit" in re-broadcasting someone else's material for it to be considered "copyright violation." I'm not saying this is, since I couldn't find a disclaimer on the website. But it might be.

Let us know if they do.
