Night Vale coming to Atlanta
Night Vale is a strange place to visit, but an Atlanta audience will get a chance on March 7.
“Welcome to Night Vale,” is one of those phenomenally growing new forms of entertainment, the podcast. Night Vale is eagerly awaited and downloaded by millions of fans biweekly, who can’t wait to catch up on the odd lives and events that bring to mind Garrison Keillor’s “News From Lake Wobegon” by way of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.”
Joseph Fink, the co-creator,says, “I didn’t want it to sound like the (shows) I already listened to, so I came up with the idea of a town where all conspiracy theories are true.”
Its writers and producers bring the show to the Rialto Center for the Arts, featuring a longer-than-usual storyline as well as guests such as folk musicians Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin.
