Director’s Notes: Episode 269 - A Story About Me

Episode 13 (“A story about you.”) set up a few things in Night Vale lore. First, we’ve got the Labyrinth, though we didn’t name them that until we wrote the Night Vale novel The Faceless Old Woman. We also set up the “dark planet lit by no sun…” phrase, which of course means death. And...

Director’s Notes: Episodes 268 - Head Office
