Congratulations to anyone who's managed to listen to this 3-hour masterpiece in one sitting. I recommend playing this in short, sharp bursts.

Welcome to Night Vale

It's already a "cultural phenomenon" so this recommendation is a little late, but if you're yet to discover Welcome to Night Vale, check it out.

It's brilliant.
