    As a New Zealander, I can confirm that the fourth Frank history is entirely accurate to that geographical area, and accurately reflects the number and duration of smoothie shops in the country.

      Also, I just remembered when I still believed that Carlos got something supernatural on him and he was putting a spell in Night Vale citizens 😅

    The fact that all of the Frank Chens that moved out of Night Vale managed to live out their entire lives and die of old age over the span of a single weather report makes me suspect that Time has become Weird again. Has anyone checked on Lee Marvin?

    I binge watched every episode about a year ago. Just came back because I still can't find anything similar to this, that I enjoy. I was hoping there would be more new episodes since I last listened but I still loved every single one... except for the ones I probably missed because I listen at bedtime. Disappointing number of views lately is why I'm commenting. Engagement might help the channel
