It took ten years, but both the East Coast and West Coast branches of the podcast got to meet up in Manhattan once again for a weekend of museums, comic book shops, subway ficus, fancy islands, sidewalk cocktails, surprise concerts, private hot pot rooms, and treehouses. We also watched three episodes of The Amazing Digital
We’ve really got to hand it to the creators of Pluribus. This episode took a dark turn; the Hive Mind may be the vanguard of an alien invasion that’s either very efficient, or very much not efficient at all. Either way, steps have been taken to try to keep all seven point something billion hosts
On this week’s Night Vale recap, when the creepy ice cream truck appeared we thought it was one of those awful stories about creepy ice cream guys preying on people. It’s not. IT’S SO MUCH WORSE. After that we have a spoiler-filled recap of Pluribus episode 5: how did the Hive Mind react to Carol’s

On this week’s Pluribus recap, episode three starts with Carol stuck in the memory of one more time when she didn’t try harder to make Helen happy. (For the record, Carol, we get it, we don’t like being cold either, but OH MY GOD that ice hotel looks SO COOL.) (Pun not intended.) From there,
Cecil and Night Vale Radio both get a break this week (aside from a couple of Station ID’s and a long list of “supporters”). Instead, we hear the soothing tones of Harrison Kip as he gives the listeners a little taste of his weird religion with a not-really-well-defined god, and some oddly specific commandments. (Look,
Friend of the Podcast Hannah has been after us for a bit to give Pluribus a shot and after watching the first two episodes WE DEFINITELY GET THE APPEAL. This show is not at all what we expected, and keeps surprising us at every turn. And Rhea Seehorn is one of very few people who
