KEY POINTS
- â˘Welcome to Night Vale has been running continuously for 14 years, making it the longest-running fiction podcast.
- â˘The show, by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cran, spans 12 seasons, over 280 episodes, plus three books and 10 live standalone shows.
- â˘It holds the record for consistency compared to similar podcasts like We're Alive, which has taken significant breaks.
Welcome to Night Vale, the podcast desert town that refuses to die, just hit its 14-year milestone with a cosmic shrug. Created by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cran, it boasts 12 seasons and over 280 episodesâmore content than your average Netflix binge marathon, and definitely more consistent than your dating life. Unlike 'We're Alive,' which admits to ghosting listeners with season breaks, Night Vale stays relentlessly weird with three books and 10 live shows, making fans question if reality is optional outside their quirky desert town. Hundreds of hours of apocalyptic community radio await, because who needs sleep when you have talking dog signs?
