Welcome to Night Vale creators on fear and the unknown

On Sunday night I interviewed Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor — the creators of the hit podcast Welcome To Night Vale.

Night Vale is a fictional desert town where the strange and the bizarre are commonplace — and somehow Jeffrey and Joseph have turned that world into a new novel.

One highlight from our conversation focuses on a line in the pilot episode that intrigued me. The narrator says: "I fear for anyone caught between what they know and what they don't yet know that they don't know."

My entire conversation with Cranor and Fink will be featured on Tuesday's MPR News Presents.
