i love wfmu, glad to see them still rollin, Night People was probably the biggest piece of comfort media that i’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy and i still show people the 7sd where they call people and try and get them to stay on the phone the longest amount of time but they only get ten words, absolute tears every time, there are so many classic episodes really, the puppetmaster ones also big favorites
