Night Vale citizens are fully aware that they are a podcast show and they're cool with it.
Pulled from our most normal tag of all, it’s our Top 10 Headcanons About Night Vale Not Being Real.
40) Night Vale is all in Cecil’s head, explaining why no matter what happens he always seems to be relatively unscathed. This is also why he is aware of so many things going on in the town.
47) The Condos are a mental hospital. Carlos, the Interns, Carlos’ team and The Man In The Tan Jacket are doctors. Pamela Winchell, Steve Carlsberg, and Kevin are inmates.Cecil is the PA announcer. The ‘Radio’ is Cecil going over what the inmates said.
56) All of Night Vale is a hallucination. Not Cecil’s. Carlos’s.
67) Night Vale is a completely normal town. Cecil has an immensely skewed perception of reality. The citizens found it entertaining, so they put him on air. Everyone he interviews is just humoring him.
68) Night Vale and all of her citizens do not exist. Everything was made up by Carlos, a teenage outcast who was ridiculed for enjoying science and the supernatural, so he created a world in his own mind where he could enjoy those things. He made himself an older, interesting, educated newcomer in his town and gave himself Cecil (based off the guy he has a HUGE crush on at school). His favorite part of the day is coming home after school and writing about his “Friendly Desert Community.”
92) Cecil has schizophrenia and Night Vale is really Detroit. His residence is the medical ward at a hospital and his show is group therapy. His fellow patients would interrupt him, but his reports are too interesting.
107) Cecil is just a mad man with a microphone. We are the voices in his head.
119) Night Vale is an ordinary town but all the nouns mean radically different things.
134) Most of the time, Cecil does a normal radio show about a normal, boring, sleepy college town. Twice a month, he breaks out the good drugs.
148) Night Vale is the setting of a really long GURPS campaign. Cecil is the DM. Steve is the world’s most aggravating rules lawyer. Dana is spending the semester abroad, which is why Cecil stuck her character in plot-limbo until she gets back.

Everything on the radio show is exaggerated. Very few people die but many are injured by the weird happenings (which aren't that bad).
