The cassette lady is helping us escape im calling it

[@user-bo1fg6tw5e]

my neighbor's goats starting being really loud in the middle of this and I was just laughing so hard XD "Feel your feet in simple canvas shoes" **AGGRAVATED GOAT NOISES**

[@matthewwalker3131]

actually chuckled at that

[@lemonexhaustion8525]

The men with sunglasses are "the man who is not short" and "the man who is not tall" from nightvale

[@loganisanerd5566]

Did the voice say 'men'? I thought they said 'people.' Might be something of significance, though I'm reserving on the theory crafting in this series

[@strangecontent9417]

Unicorn Rebellion didn't she say they were in a dog park? the night vale dog park is forbiddin.

[@aliceweaver9409]

Janina Matthewson has the most perfect voice for relaxation tapes. I have to concentrate to actually pay attention to what she is saying because the lilt of her voice is so soothing that it just sort of flows over my brain.

[@joshtrue6521]

matpat needs a third channel just for this, Alice, and nightvale

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

I think the narrator is helping the listener escape the Institute, or maybe she is a stalker. Every cassette starts as how I guess relaxation cassettes work, but after a few minutes the narrator is teaching the listener to use psychic powers and study the Institute in order to escape in the future of the story.

[@angeluslupus]

Either these are genuinely relaxing me to sleep or something weird is going on. I distintcly remember starting this one, but had no memory of finishing it, and according to my playlist I've also listened to the next one? Guess I have to listen again like I did with the first two.

[@cisnt9244]

how does this work? WHY does this work? I usually can't sleep, and I usually wake up several times at night and I'm not rested when I wake. last night, having listened to this that day before, I was able to quickly fall asleep, stay asleep, and be rested when I woke up. and I even had a good dream! a good one! I usually have either nightmares or no dreams at all and I had a good dream, and managed to still be relaxed and awake in the morning. really, how do you do this? do you plan it?

[@veryabsent]

Don't you guys just love listening to podcasts at one in the morning? I sure do!

[@theresafrance3832]

Yes!

[@maicey_t.]

That's literally what I'm doing right at this moment.

[@PsychicGirl]

I've tried to listen to this three separate times now and I've fallen asleep before the end every time.

[@loganisanerd5566]

Just remember to listen in your sleep.

[@baileeY]

/subtlety in the speaker's goals

[@aj2157]

I've actually had really bad insomnia lately and this was super relaxing. - I had a feeling that these cassettes were trying to free the person in the institution, but this episode confirmed it.

[@loganisanerd5566]

Freedom? Who said anything about that? This is simply a way to help release you from the tight shackles and restrictions of.. insomnia. Yeah.

[@glam-rock_space-wizard]

good god it is one in the morning and I'm sitting here, listening to this because I just finished Alice isn't dead, and I'm fully awake. what am I doing with my life...?

[@wesleyhunt7599]

Does anybody else actually follow the instructions in the tapes?

[@MunchkinJax]

Oh yeah

[@loganisanerd5566]

I finally got around to listening to this one, and it just so happens to be when I'm awake in bed, trying to sleep. I normally follow the instructions and feel relaxed, but geez I'm sleepy now.. the voice wasn't lying about maybe falling asleep during the cassette.

[@404usernotfound_]

Wesley Hunt It'd feel weird not to XD

[@anactualbird6801]

I do when I can

[@MamaWheelz]

I can't wait until the Within The Wires book comes out

[@rottengrapes8605]

same

[@ariel_haymarket]

I have a theory similar to raphaela ratzlaff's theory of these tapes being a mother trying to reach out to a daughter in the Institute - What if it's a patient who was originally commissioned to recite the tapes, only to become a patient LATER and is hearing these?

[@redrasegarden]

So you think it's the parent being reached out to?

[@larsschissler1111]

Thank you for helping a very anxious bean to fall asleep with the extra anxiety COVID has brought her ❤️

[@redrasegarden]

I am calling it right now, this is a mother reaching out to her daughter

[@theresafrance3832]

I thought it was a sister, but a mother is probably more likely.

[@redrasegarden]

Theresa France also a good tjeory

[@CodyosVladimiros]

aww but i'm already a member! That being said, love listening to these as I fall asleep

[@ariamakesvideos803]

I can't listen to Night Vale (personally I find it disturbing) but I LOVE this podcast. So good! I can't wait to find out what happens... Also this is very relaxing to listen to. :)

[@canti288]

This is either STREX, World Government, or Fye the number station radio hist who was a self aware software system

[@sf8357]

I'm not sure why people are so keen to connect these works to night vale. Alice isn't Dead wasn't connected. I doubt this is.

[@austian23532]

because it's super fun to try and connect all the podcasts together! Like with Alice isn't dead, I like to think it's in the same universe as Night Vale.

[@lemonexhaustion8525]

+Rithiei jones Alice is connected

[@lemonexhaustion8525]

The "hungry" billboards are in the night vale pod cast

[@sf8357]

+Unicorn Rebellion really? that's actually really neat. which one so I can listen to it ^ ^

[@rose.b.99]

I love these so much

[@emiliasamson4028]

Is this someone trying to help us escape the institute? It feels like it, but I don't know. Whenever she said escape....insomnia I felt like it was kinda confirmed.

[@joeyreliford2597]

💕💞💕💞💕💞

[@lunam9397]

It hit me during this one, isnt a midcard ad in a thing designed to put you in an altered, suggestible state kind of irresponsible?

[@justeundonut-moi.7979]
