Started in 2012 by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, Welcome to Night Vale quickly rose to the top of the podcast charts and has since been downloaded more than 217 million times. Starring Cecil Baldwin as Cecil Palmer, Welcome to Night Vale is set in a small desert town where all conspiracy theories are true. In the style of community updates, the show features local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events. The New York Times says, "With its surreal premise, Welcome to Night Vale stands out in a medium dominated by nonfiction."

Fink and Cranor have written two New York Times bestselling novels based on the show titled Welcome to Night Vale and It Devours! and have published two script collections. Additionally, FX will develop the podcast for television with BETTER CALL SAUL producer, Gennifer Hutchinson, as executive producer.
