From the creator of Alice Isn't Dead: Unlicensed

From Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, creators of the genre defining fiction podcasts Welcome to Night Vale and Alice Isn’t Dead, comes the new LA noire Unlicensed, starring Molly Quinn, Lusia Strus, and T.L Thompson. Coming November 10, only to Audible. Subscribe now here: [https://www.audible.com/Unlicensed] (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblBCaFFnSnVXd2xPUndwS1Z0N2RDU1hyZWJpQXxBQ3Jtc0tuU2ZudnB6XzY5T2ZudEJBZ1pldlVYeVVaUkVrZkV1Ti0tNlNjMTJzWFZRVThNUXVEeVVyQzVudXVwbXVBU3FmOHp2WHFleUtNdlJkWm1mUlItOWVUUlR1MWlqOWpDa2JqaW5rZVl3aEF3REU0UDM3VQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.audible.com%2FUnlicensed&v=c1biuE8M-dQ) Unlicensed follows Molly Hatch (Quinn), recently divorced, two years sober, and completely lost on where to go next in her life. On a whim she answers an ad for an assistant to a PI, traveling to an unpromising strip mall on Citrus Avenue in Azusa, CA, where she meets Lou Rosen (Strus). Lou is a brilliant detective, but she’s also a completely disorganized mess, both in her physical space and within her own mind. She loses evidence, forgets what she’s already figured out, and she hasn’t even gotten it together to get her PI license. Working illegally in the outskirts of Los Angeles, where the cul-de-sacs and strip malls sprawl into the desert, the only clients she can get are those who either can't afford anyone else or have cases that are too marginal for licensed PIs or the police to bother with. When a teenage girl pleads for Lou and Molly to take the strangest case of their career, they find themselves involved in something much bigger than they were prepared for. This unlikely pair, with no resources and no back-up, follow a trail of seemingly unconnected cases, which leads them to a ransom, a murder, a mysterious wellness center, and a conspiracy that might go all the way to the governor. Featuring guest appearances by Jason Segel, Janet Varney, James Urbaniak, Cecil Baldwin, Jasika Nicole, Mara Wilson, and more, Unlicensed is a deeply-human, captivating thriller set in the most uncool neighborhoods of America’s coolest city. ...

Alice Isn't Dead returns for one night only!

We released the final episode of Alice Isn’t Dead in 2018, and boy has some stuff happened since then.

So we are bringing it back, for one night only, on February 25 [as a livestream performance] (https://noonchorus.com/alice-isnt-dead/) . With Jasika Nicole and Roberta Colindrez performing the classic Alice Isn’t Dead episodes The Factory by the Sea and Badwater, along with live musical accompianment by Disparition. This is going to be a really special show, and we’re so excited to get to visit this world again with all of you. [Tickets are pay what you want starting at $5] (https://noonchorus.com/alice-isnt-dead/) , and the show can be viewed for up to a month after we perform it, which will be on February 25th at 8pm. I really hope you’ll join us as, for the first time in years, Keisha rides again.

Start With This: Idea to Execution

A brand new podcast from Night Vale Presents co-founders Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor: Start With This, a podcast gone creativity playground designed to put your ideas in motion. Each episode centers around a topic from world building, to opening lines, and even failure. Then they give listeners two short assignments: something to consume and something to create. The best way to start writing is to start writing. Not sure where to begin? Start With This. To keep listening to Start With This, subscribe on [Apple Podcasts] (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/start-with-this/id1451621980?mt=2) , [Spotify] (https://open.spotify.com/show/5bzUVzMy3kPBhx3xyzCGg2?si=zlSFje0DRb6pItNHXFU0Vw) , or [your favorite podcast app] (http://www.nightvalepresents.com/startwiththis#listen) . There’s natural talent, and then there’s practice. You can only control that last bit. Joseph and Jeffrey talk building habits of creation so that starting projects gets into your muscle memory. Consume: Check out Jonathan Mann’s  [Song A Day Youtube channel] (https://www.youtube.com/user/therockcookiebottom) . Jonathan’s been writing and recording a song a day for over 3,000 days— it’s the ultimate example of flexing the habit of creation. Create: Pick an idea that you’ve had for a while. Take exactly 1 hour to work on it exclusively. This can be one continuous hour, or 30 minutes for two days, or 10 minutes for six days. Then put it out there (written or recorded) on our Membership Community, your website, or shout it to a bird from your porch. Consider this your first try of many at this idea.
