Welcome To Night Vale is back from hiatus! To celebrate (and to cover for the fact that Cecil is missing) guest radio host Leonard Burton is sharing an episode from the archives! So send your Betamax back to the store, grab yourself an Orange Julius, and make sure you have your credit card handy for all those late-night 1-900 calls, because we're going back to August 1st 1987!
It's the grand opening of the new Night Vale Mall, and while certain things haven't been finished yet (like "stores" or "ceilings" or "floors") we can still wander past the freestanding escalators and reminisce about some of the ways the 80's were just weird. (Our favorite things about the Hickory Farm store in the DeSoto Square Mall were the strawberry candies and the frozen yogurt, and we will not be taking questions at this time.)
Then we recap episode 20 (yes we know we said 19, we are bad with numbers) of the final season of Beastars where Legoshi is having the worst luck, and then talk a little about Better Call Saul and last weekend's GenCon (sorry you had to deal with a tornado, folks. We're glad nobody died.)
This episode's outro is a clip from Analogue Restart by TeknoAXE.
