Binary System Podcast #348: WTNV #218 “The Glow Cloud, Explained” and Umbrella Academy

Original broadcast date February 9, 2023. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/02/binary-system-podcast-348-wtnv-218-the-glow-cloud-explained-and-umbrella-academy/ “I just wrote ‘Toilets. What’s that all about?'” If you’ve been listening Welcome to Night Vale lately you’ll know why this episode title made us go “that sounds like it’ll be OH NO WAIT AAAAAA!” And if you don’t know, you can listen to us explain why we’re emotionally invested in a FREAKING CLOUD. After the recap (which included a lot of tangents and rants about pay inequality, roads, and toilets because hoo boy they had a lot of axes to grind this week but they’re not wrong) we did a deep dive into another two episodes of Umbrella Academy season 2 (short version: Klaus is still our favorite but the actor who plays Five is doing a hell of a job.) And speaking of tangents, look out for mentions of The Hunters, sketch parties, driving glasses, and our upcoming crossover with Mid-Life Crisis Task Force! This week’s outro is a clip from Flyby by BorderX01. We were right, the Glow Cloud wasn’t in the first episode of Night Vale, it was in the second. The photo gallery from the Sketchparty SD night at Whistle Stop is here, and the list of the upcoming DC TV and movie projects is here. Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
