About Welcome to West Vault Radio

Vault 97 is a fan podcast set in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic, atom-age inspired universe of Fallout. The eponymous Vault 97 is a large, underground complex with two interesting details: the first is that it is a fully featured music studio and radio broadcast centre with the latest technology, and two, it has been filled with musicians, personalities and any other remaining ex-pats and civilians from Great Britain (along with those that could fake a convincing enough accent to get in). Susan, the only remaining human member of staff, proudly and diligently hosts the entirety of station under the long-running banner of WVR, West Vault Radio, with her team of robots and automated programming subroutines. Why is Susan the only remaining Human? How does she survive through the loneliness and depression of being underground? How are the tea reserves still plentiful? Find out all this and more from WVR, broadcasting today for a brighter tomorrow! Vault 97 written and performed by Laura Manwell. Music/Sound design, visual design and narration by Luke Highet.

   Susan's Isolation Advice

   A quick public information piece from principal WVR DJ Susan Reith. “In these troubling times I would like to reassure our listeners that we here at WVR are playing our part in ensuring we adhere to “government” guidelines by maintaining strong social distancing principles. As such we have temporarily suspended our quest for that second rate DJ Mary and are working from home in Vault 97. As we are somewhat expert in the art of isolation, we have decided to dedicate some portions of our broadcasting day to giving you top tips about how best to cope in these testing times. We hope these are useful and we are sure if we all play our part in flattening the curve of this virus we will be back out in the Wasteland in no time! Stay safe, stay indoors, save lives.” Susan has no mental health or psychology training and her advice is probably best viewed as light entertainment. - Mr W
