Binary System Podcast #339: WTNV #218 "The Sitter Cancelled", Sandman and Wednesday

<p>Original broadcast date December 1, 2022. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/?p=184117</p> <p>This week's Night Vale recap has a lot of fan art requests and T-shirt moments, but it's also us just being flat out amazed that Cecil can get interrupted by his kid every five minutes and it's <em>always</em> stress free. It's not saccharine, it's not annoying, it's not even a little frustrating; Cecil Baldwin just nails the right tone every single time. (But seriously, if the fan artists could do something with those awful children's books Cecil's reading to Esteban, that'd be swell.)</p> <p>After the recap we touched on the first few episodes of <em>Wednesday</em> (spooky and kooky, as expected), went over the "Playing House" episode of <em>Sandman</em> (Morpheus is quickly becoming a big ol jerk) and wrapped up with a spoiler-free discussion of the final book in the <a href="https://www.naominovik.com/category/scholomance/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Scholomance</a> trilogy; look out for a spoiler-full discussion soon because we're going to have to TALK SOME MORE ABOUT ALL THAT BY GOD.</p> <p>This week's outro is a song by our friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cockandbullgame/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Fred Smith</a> called "Wednesday's Lullaby" which he performed on his 8-string <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandocello" rel="noopener" target="_blank">mandocello</a>. https://www.instagram.com/cockandbullgame/</p> <p>You can find the Dragonfall Drawing Challenge pics on instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fandragonadams/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">@FandragonAdams</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/llyzabeth/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">@Llyzabeth</a>, or you can look up the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/dragonfalldrawingchallenge/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">#DragonfallDrawingChallenge</a> hashtag to see several other artists in the last few years too.</p> <p>Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?
