Director's Notes: 235 - Book Club
I always meant to read Les Miserables, but I never did. It's an important-seeming book, and all, and so I doubt my life would be worse for having completed that task. But for now, Victor Hugo's most famous epic is in the pile of To-Reads, along with Moby Dick, Sense and Sensibility, Invisibl...

The Thought-Terminating Cliché
(by Jeffrey Cranor)I’ve been thinking a lot about the linguistic term “thought-terminating cliché” lately. I learned this phrase from Amanda Montell’s book Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism. Montell didn’t invent the phrase (Robert Jay Lifton did, in 1961), but she talks about it as it ...

What genre is Night Vale?
A question we get occasionally is "what genre is Night Vale?"This is, at its heart, an unanswerable question. Genre is a marketing term. It's a way of telling people "liked this other book? then buy this new book!" Of course that's a simplification. Genre can be many other th...

Director’s Notes: 233 - Citizen Spotlight: The Vampire of Lombardi Street
(TW: brief mention of JK Rowling and her stupid shit)I believe that artists tell on themselves. It’s not always obvious to the audience, but when I read my own work or the work of friends I know well, I can often see their lives on display in the story. Sometimes it’s super obvious. For instance...

Director's Notes - Episode 232: “A Car Crash on Buellton Avenue”
Like many episodes, this one started with a phrase that seemed interesting to me. "A car crash on Buellton Avenue". I started describing that car crash, unsure what the story would be, but knowing if I poked around enough, I would find it. And after writing a couple of the car crash sections...
