I could tell you stories like the government tells lies

Please do yourself a favor and give Welcome to Night Vale a listen! It is a phenomenal podcast. It is everything you might want a serial Lovecraftian story-as-told-through-local-news to be and more, and the musical interludes are great as well. It's funny and scary and insightful and just plain intriguing, and I am only on episode two, but I'm already hooked.

(It is also available on iTunes, but I'm not sure how to link iTunes in a browser.)
