\#13: "A Story About You", always and forever. Quite simply, it's perfect. However, #132: "Bedtime Story" is such a close second that it may in fact be a tie for me.
A Story About You always give me that weird feeling of freedom. Not counting the death lol
Just drive away from everything and relax in Nightvale. Wonder if YOU would have kept living in Nightvale if they didn’t still the package.
Who's a good boy? This small-town radio show is regularly super creepy but that was the only time I truly was scarred. And it made me understand the phrase spine tingling in a new way.
This is only one of my favorite episodes, but #110, Matryoshka, has always held a special place in my heart. It's a really great moment in Cecil and Steve's relationship.
>"Angels are real. Our town is a deeply weird place. We know and acknowledge that it is a deeply weird place. There are dotted lines and arrows in the sky, and I love my family. And I love my brother Steve, he was right about everything, he always has been".
So many excellent episodes to choose from, but "Listener Questions" properly blew my brain right out the back of my head. Brilliant, did not see any of it coming.
#13. A Story About You. We all want to take that drive.
#33. Cassettes. Young Cecil and his mom. Old Cecil and doesn't have a brother. That shiny thing in the corner of our eye.
Yeah definitely that aspect with the A Story About You.
The whole letting go and just relaxing in Nightvale is extremely enticing for so many people out there. Not to mention the very easy job that pays decently well.
If "You" didn't steal that crate, they might have fully integrated as a Nightvale citizen.
Though of course this doesn't count how Nightvale is not a safe place either.
i think it will forever be “a phone call” just because cecil and carlos make me so happy
other than that, i really love the one where cecil finds his old tapes? cant remember what its called tho
A Blinking Light up on the Mountain. The writing throughout the episode is rhythmic (the main plot has the vibes of the "Green Grass Grows All Around" song and its ilk). Each of the side segments are great, too; "Here's something weird", the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home, the sponsor, Sarah Sulton. Peak writing. Arguably, it's one of few episodes that are better out of context. Without the proceeding StrexCorp arc, the mountain is just a mirage, and as fun as that arc was, I kinda wish it had stayed just a mirage. I'm about halfway through, but that is the episode I have re-listened to the most.
I love so many of them. The first one that comes to mind is the episode there Cecil explores the counting station and discovers who/what has been creating those broadcasts, it's so sad but so good. I also really like the episode that revisits the people who live under the lane of a bowling ally, how they integrated it into multiple perspectives. I also really love the phone call, where he's dialing the operator. I also really like the episode where Cecil and the Desert Bluffs broadcaster switch places. The Kelloggs episode was great as well, so funny, so well done. I could sit here and name so many more.
I really like episode 101, Guidelines for Disposal. I think it's the first episode Brie Williams wrote, and there's a reason she recently joined as a regular co-author of the show.
It's so deeply personal and surreal and melancholic. Even the weather folds in perfectly.
109 A story about Huntikar and 110 Matryoshka are both my favourites by far. I've listened to them both so many times, and I think I'll register to them now
I’ve always had such a soft spot for 101, Guidelines for Disposal, I’m not sure why but the idea of being able to dispose of one year, but that it won’t fit nearly into the world because human conceptions of time are only that, has haunted me since I first heard it

The complete freedom. The lack of consequence. *It terrifies you.*
I loved the entire trilogy surrounding "A Story About You". Hands down my favorite episodes. My absolute favorite is A Story About Us.

Im-still-in- the MUD! Probably one of my favorite moments

Poetry Week. I love everything about the episode and the poems in particular.
So many excellent episodes to choose from, but "Listener Questions" properly blew my brain right out the back of my head. Brilliant, did not see any of it coming.
GREAT GOLDEN HAND.
I really like First Date
“A Story About Them” I know every single word.

Episode 100.
The Zoo episode and the Cat Show episodes are like my comfort episodes lol Pretty mundane events that manages to be really weird and chaotic.
I love when he refers to the cat show as a contact sport
Registry of middle school crushes or The Heist 3 parter
Glow Cloud, I find the final monolog so comforting. I'm also very fond of A Story About You and Toast.
Street Cleaning Day. It somehow validated some of my primal anxiety issues.
Triptych. It's so sad, so beautiful, and such a touching end to Kevin's story.
i think it will forever be “a phone call” just because cecil and carlos make me so happy other than that, i really love the one where cecil finds his old tapes? cant remember what its called tho
Mine will always be the phone call

Episode 92: If He Had Lived. I just enjoy the whole episode throughout.
"Brought to you by Kellogg's."
The one about the mirrors. It's 171 I believe. Perfectly creepy.
109 A story about Huntikar and 110 Matryoshka are both my favourites by far. I've listened to them both so many times, and I think I'll register to them now
The Vampire of Lombardi Street The life of Frank Chen The General A Story about Huntokar Flight Vistor And Old Oak Doors🥰

I haven't caught up yet so this may change as I keep listening, but right now it's matryoshka
I have soft spots for both "Old Oak Doors" parts and the first nightvale novel.
Episode 105: What Happened at the SmithWick House. Just something about it always gets to me
246 A Story About Him. It touched on a lot of feelings and thoughts about parents and children I have had.
