The news comes just over three years after Fink and Cranor's podcast, a bi-weekly fictional radio broadcast that takes place in the desert town of Night Vale, became a smash hit. Since launching in 2012, it has been downloaded over 100 million times, making it one of the most popular podcasts in the world.
The creators subsequently toured the country with live shows, expanding their devoted fanbase. In October, they turned the podcast into a book.
Their new podcast network will coincide with the launch of Alice Isn’t Dead, their serial fiction podcast which will kick off on March 8. It will run bi-weekly through July 5. Listeners can tune in for free on iTunes, all common podcasting platforms, and via RSS.
The first season, which is ten episodes, follows a truck driver, played by actress Jasika Nicole, as she searches America for the wife she had long assumed was dead.
