<p>Original broadcast date February 10, 2021. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2022/02/binary-system-podcast-301-wtnv-201-the-delivery-man/</p> <blockquote>“No weather, no war, no man, no illness, and no god may stop me from my duty. All people deserve prompt delivery. And all people eventually get what they deserve.”</blockquote> <p>This week's episode of Welcome To Night Vale is a fascinating little short story about Night Vale's newest character: The Delivery Man. If there's one thing we've learned from the pandemic, it's that we all love getting a package delivered. Even if it's being delivered by a mysteriously threatening figure with a drawn-on face, ground-down teeth, and a weird habit of counting his steps. ("Goooood old five...")</p> <p>After the recap we read aloud a Binary System Podcast super-fan's letter about how to love a series with some disappointing episodes and a toxic fanbase, and how to <em>keep </em>loving a series when the creator turns out to be a pretty rotten human being.</p> <p>We also talk (again) about some of the movies and TV shows we really need to catch up on, with a plan to finish at least <em>one </em>of them in time for next week's podcast. Really. We mean it this time.</p> <p>This week's outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Frau_Holle/the-needle-remixes/holle-mangler-borderland-frau-holle-remix" title="Borderland (Frau Holle Remix)">Borderland (Frau Holle Remix)</a> by Holle Mangler.</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
