Welcome to the Summer of Night Vale Presents, a celebration and sampling of some of the shows across our network. This week: a look at two of our non-fiction shows, I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats and Conversations with People Who Hate Me.

I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats is a show about what it means to be an artist, to be a fan, and as many people are, both at once. Our first season found Welcome to Night Vale creator Joseph Fink in conversation with John Darnielle, singer and songwriter of the Mountain Goats, about their album All Hail West Texas. You\\u2019ll hear an excerpt from episode 9, \\u201cThe Mess Inside,\\u201d which shows how these conversations wander through topics in unexpected ways.
\\n
\\nConversations with People Who Hate Me is a show where Dylan Marron, whom you may know as Carlos the Scientist on Welcome to Night Vale, takes contentious online conversations and moves them offline. This year, Dylan has been moderating conversations between people who have exchanged their own online negativity. You\\u2019ll hear the entirety of episode 12, \\u201cBurned at the Stake,\\u201d featuring a woman who wrote about why the TV show The Office doesn\\u2019t hold up to today\\u2019s standards and a man who told her she should be burned at the stake.
