Growing up my grandmother would take me to the library in the town where I grew up every weekend. One fateful day, I ventured out of the children's room and headed up the massive Victorian staircase to the upstairs. I was awestruck by the 3-level open space, surrounded with balconies filled with books. In one cornered I wandered up to the very top level and found a dark and dusty corner room. It was filled floor to ceiling with records, which I had never seen before. I checked out "Lights Out: Murder Castle", a vintage radio horror. So began a lifelong love of the kind of audio wizardry that could be cooked up with sound long, long before television. It required an active imagination, and it cultivated it in turn. Podcasting today has given new life to this vintage auditory art form, with groundbreaking shows such as "The NoSleep Podcast", "Limetown" and "The Black Tapes" being modern versions of classic radio drama. With this podcast, 3 of my great loves have come together into some kind of mutated concoction of sound. My hope is to see more Fallout fans getting creative, sharing their passion and building on this amazing universe.

[…] His name is Lucas, and he goes by Rabbit. Lucas... What's his last name? I, uh... Huh. Well, he's never told me his, uh... Dumont. Lucas Dumont. Um, sure, but... Yeah, he's... He's a bit taller than me and has red hair. Usually wearing one of those, um... Those hats, those, uh... Newsboy-style hats and a green sweater. In this climate. We've seen people running around in nothing but their underwear. Nothing surprises me anymore. But, yeah, a sweater. He has a backpack and medical supplies on him. Might be on Daytripper.
