239 - Sister Cities: Vermillion Falls

[@Yunisca30]

I hope they bring this back in some way in the near future. Man can we get a Vermilion Falls podcast? Also: Him: STOP PETTING THE WOLF MEN! I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF! Nightvale Residents: ???? Wrong town?????

[@WeAreAirborne]

Meanwhile, George North, offering strips of raw bacon to the wolfmen while listening to what cute thing Carlos said that morning: boy what a nice day it is today. night vale sounds so pleasant. maybe once I finish feeding the wolfmen I'll go head over to the lake, since no one has warned me against either of these things :)

[@klltsun_2576]

oh my gosh I forgot that people in vermillion falls are listening to Cecil so George isn't hearing the warnings 😆

[@vee-682]

wolf men in america you say? ok here’s how the magnus archives welcome to night vale crossover can still win-

[@IsaGh0st]

LMAO. As someone whose two favorite podcasts are those that got a laugh out of me

[@Matheus-ql7mn]

OH YES, PLEASE!

This guy has a great late night radio voice, very relaxing. The sport section was really good. I think I'd like Vermillion Falls, sounds laid back.

[@EayuProuxm]

It's good to remind ourselves that while we're caught up in our own lives, other people have their struggles too. While we're worrying about librarians and Street Cleaning day, other people have to worry about wolfmen, the man from the lake and George. Honestly, George is probably a universal worry. Regardless, be kind bc everyone has to worry about a George... and other stuff too.

[@duncanadelaide4054]

To anyone of a similar mind to me: the coordinates given as the location of Vermillion Falls are, in our reality, a baseball diamond behind a middle school in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis. Additionally, there is an actual waterfall in Minnesota called Vermillion Falls, located in the town of Hastings, MN, which is southeast of St. Paul on US Route 10.

[@Jane_8319]

Thank you. Came to the comments for exactly this info

[@hawk222]

"You don't wanna be a wolfman" You clearly don't know me at all, sir.

[@flareinc7413]

I mean,he is no Cecil but I like him and want to hear more from Vermillion Falls from time to time ^^

[@TrickiVicBB71]

Early part of this episode gave Dog Park vibes when Night Vale first started. Interesting listen, tapping into Mid-west and NE USA folklore, monsters and conspiracies

[@DragonbornCanid]

i thought the same thing about the first part having Dog Park vibes! i was half-expecting the whole episode to reflect the first episode 😂

[@Matheus-ql7mn]

Well, we did have a canceled Wednesday here too 😂

[@panth753]

That was a fun episode. It reminds me of some of the early episodes. Also, i wanna pet a wolfman

[@lilaboxx]

George no! There will be consequences

[@MacTechG4]

Wolfmen have rights too, stop being so intolerant, if someone wants to give their favorite wolfie skritches and tummy rubs, who are you to stop them? ;)

[@lilaboxx]

@@MacTechG4 fair

[@Matheus-ql7mn]

​@@MacTechG4 well, I think we should ask the wolfman if they want to be pet before petting them, but yes

[@MacTechG4]

@@Matheus-ql7mn exactly, what two consenting sentient beings do together is none of anyone else’s business.

[@Dratchet]

I'm just imagining nightvale getting these warnings about the wolfmen and someone faithfully delivering the message to Cecil who dutifully passes the message on and muses about how "back in my town, George North would've been arrested by the secret police long before he managed to become wolfmen" and slowly going on tangents realizing how similar they are and what would actually happen if that happened in nightvale

[@hdervish2497]

This is the third time I have listened to this since it dropped last night. So delightful and close to home. Although, the real modwesterners know that what you really have to worry about is in the corn. And if the corn is gone, whatever is in there can see you

[@xochi98]

I gotta cousin who saw the nein rouge once

[@rebeccalambert3240]

As soon as the episode started I went "Excuse me." But as a native midwesterner myself, this was great xD rude to surprise me like that without even saying ope though

[@artiegatsby4879]

I'm from the Pacific Northwest and this place gives hella Gravity Falls vibes. I wanna live there. It sounds like a place I'd find nestled amongst the misty trees when I'm lost on my way to some hike deep in the gorge or something, where Bigfoot lives.

[@MacTechG4]

Just gotta keep an …eye… out for Bill Cipher, you think the Wolfmen are bad? Bill makes them look like a cuddly little Multi-Bear…

[@xochi98]

Idn’it probably in Minnesota tho?

[@Jane_8319]

@@xochi98yeah, Minnesota is more Midwest than PNW but there are some overlaps

[@JohannesVIII]

Oh absolutely LOVE this idea. I hope we'll hear more from Vermillion Falls in the future!

[@oldmanliver8301]

I hope we will get more vermillion falls episodes in the future.

[@perterisnotahomestuck459]

AAAAAA! This episode made me so happy! As a Midwestern fella from Michigan I really really enjoyed this!

[@ZEVM2]

1. Fantastic stuff and very Minnesotan 2. TD Mischke, the radio voice, also recently released a book called "A Winters Song: A hymn to the North" which is quite entertaining particularly on the dark northern nights

[@MySerpentine]

So we have Night Vale, Desert Bluffs (Too), Pine Cliffs, Red Mesa and now Vermillion Falls. Bit of a pattern there.

[@itsathing3369]

1.) Night Vale 2.) Desert Bluffs 3.) Cactus Park 4.) Desert Bluffs 5.) Desert Bluffs Too 6.) Pine Cliff 7.) Red Mesa 8.) Sand Plains 9.) Stone Meadow 10.) The Underground City 11.) The Whispering Forest (town) 12.) Nulogorsk 13.) the underground city. 14.) Vermillion Falls

[@lilyhill4432]

Ah! I loved this episode so much! I adore the normal style and of course Night Vale itself, but this was such an interesting shift and the voice actor was perfect. The episode sounded like Gemini Home Entertainment's Nature documentary episodes and I love that.

[@b1merio]

Love, love, LOVE! this episode. Really hope it's a backdoor pilot.

[@nixlovegood4966]

i really like his voice you should keep him around and do more with him

[@TheSkullivan12]

The tragic thing is that George North may very well have heeded Frank's warning- if Frank hadn't been broadcasting to Night Vale instead of Vermillion Falls.

[@tyronedavies8680]

New episode? New sister city? Dang, what a wonderful day!

[@juliegolick]

Love this! We need more from Vermillion Falls!

[@Arcainreaper]

I'd tune in to this as well. More of this as well please! Also him trying to get threw to a guy who was listening to something else today was a great touch

[@IsaGh0st]

As a Midwesterner I'm so excited there's a new silly little town in the world of WTNV :D This gave me such strange nostalgia for visiting my grandparents and I can't explain why.

[@canteventhough]

My brain cannon: Vermillion Falls is in between Yellow Springs Ohio and the Hocking Hills but you can't get there from any road running through or around either. People who have fallen to their "deaths" in the Hocking Hills live in Vermillion Springs now in the same way that people "just drive" to Nightvale. They have an orange farmer who has never raised a successful crop. Jack Pennington, you know, the orange farmer.

[@fullmetalx91]

The University of What It Is would probably jot down the Wolfmen as furries LARPing a little too hard

[@EayuProuxm]

The sports featured some really great athleticism today, those players really gave it their all.

[@bridgetcacciatore]

Picture this: I have exactly 1 hour before I need to leave for work. I Settle down to play some video games. Turning the volume to 0 to make way for nightvale in my mental capacity. Identifying as a midwestern cryptid, I listen to Joseph convince me to buy sweaters. Smiling as I leave the shop in my game I hear the opening and my jaw drops, so do my controllers. The "helloo" was so on it

[@ec3227]

now we have 3 towns to tune into. awesome!

[@fauxclaws]

one of my faves so far

[@EayuProuxm]

I'm caught up and I get to catch an episode minutes after it premiered? Is it Christmas? Probably not. Christmas should involve more meat crowns and gathering under the mistletoe to smile for The Smiling God.

[@Serratiger]

What a sweet, lovely episode!

[@tobequitefranco]

This was fun. I hope we get to see more sister cities down the line. This was pretty close to Pacific Northwest representation! Which would have been a similar plot but with Sasquatches and a musical segment called “new music” but it’s just rain sounds, no doubt

[@TheGrinningViking]

Boy I wish there were some wolfmen around here to pet. I'd sure be friends with those wolfmen, wolfmenmen, and wolfmenwoman.

[@AnZsDad1973]

Not sure if I'm the only one who actually looked up the coordinates he provided in Google Maps, but it appears to be in the school field shared by Hidden Valley Elementary and Eagle Ridge Middle Schools in Savage, Minnesota, just south and west of Minnesota.

[@EndlessNameless5]

I loved this one! You guys could make a contest for people to send similar episodes from other cities around the world! The episode in the podcasts apps have the credits at the beginning of the episode!

[@skullbottle3906]

Thank you guys for continuing to make this wonderful show, we appreciate you ❤️

[@ianhumphres7821]

The Mid-West has the Dogman! I feel like this is hinting at that. The Dogman, from what I understand, lives and hunts around the Great Lakes.

[@SirSadness]

NEW STATION JUST DROPPED! I wonder if We'll ever get an Avengers moment with all of them at once.

[@DragonbornCanid]

would love to hear more from Vermillion Falls sometime! It sounds lovely and very interesting ^w^ TD's voice is also very soothing, i dare say i even prefer it a little bit over Cecil's!

[@tabbycarrie9321]

As long as he gets rid of the stupid bloody tie do not acknowledge his stupid tie, ties suck.

[@canteventhough]

I was sure the anchor was John Barrymore the younger until I checked.

[@xochi98]

Overall I thought this one was pretty good! I’m excited to see if we hear more from Vermillion Falls. But living in the Midwest and knowing guys who sound like this one, when you hear the word “civilized” come out of his mouth you want to turn tail and run. Especially if you’re not white. Or at least that’s what I want to do, but I work the front desk at my job so there’s no escaping it :,)

[@xochi98]

That is in no way to say I do not like TD Mischke, he was a very good choice for the voice here✨

[@peterbrill1017]

Didn't The Simpsons have a skit were they said adding new characters to a show is a sign of the show dying?
