With well over one-hundred episodes, the podcast Welcome to Night
Vale has spawned several international live tours, two novels set
in the Night Vale universe, and an extensive volume of fan fiction
and commentary. However, despite its immense popularity, Welcome to
Night Vale has received almost no academic scrutiny. This edited
collection of scholarly essays-the very first of its kind on a
podcast-attempts to redress this lack of attention to Night Vale by
bringing together an international group of scholars from different
disciplines to consider the program's form, themes, politics, and
fanbase. After a thorough introduction by the volume's editor,
Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, the eight contributors not only offer
close analysis of Night Vale, but use the program as the impetus
for broader explorations of new media, gender, the constitution of
identity, the construction of place, and the human relationship to
meaning and the non-human.
