Binary System Podcast #366: WTNV #229 "The Accused"

Original broadcast date June 15, 2023. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2023/06/binary-system-podcast-366-wtnv-229-the-accused/ The Welcome To Night Vale writers have occasionally been known to subtly reference current events. This week subtlety is completely out the window as the entire Night Vale community has allowed their fear and rage to be written into law. A new ordinance has all kinds of nasty, unintended consequences, some of which directly affect Cecil and his husband Carlos. Yep. Night Vale has now banned science. Carlos is arrested for Doing Science In Public (I kinda want someone to write the Sales Tax Calculating Song he was caught singing), and nobody knows if making science illegal means they're not allowed to do things like Baking, or Driving a Car. It's pretty much everything we were afraid of. And speaking of things we were afraid of...Kathryn finally finished watching Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy. The universe is over, except there's a possible do-over. Somebody ends up with the life of their dreams, others are left out in the cold, but we have zero idea if any of that will remain in the start of the next season. One thing we absolutely do know for sure is that Sir Reginald Hargreeves will never have anyone else's best interest at heart. Maybe. This week's outro is a clip from First Journey by Shalbora.
