CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story

This episode is a bit different. Because this month has been all about the community joining together all over the world to help others, so this episode is much of the same. This is a community anthology, including stories of our own and new  original Fallout 76 stories from the community and fellow podcasters that are exceptionally good. It’s a mixture of laughter and terror and I think you’...

Happy Halloween! Season 2 begins with a bang...a feature length opener that is a story I've wanted to tell for a long time. In the final Halloween before the Great War, 12 people went missing after visiting a mysterious autumn carnival. As Simon and Chad prepare for another Halloween in Appalachia, a strange wailing train whistle heralds the return of the Autumn People, born from the dust to pray...

This bonus episode features 3 digitally restored classic horror tales from the Golden Age of Radio.

Ironically enough the hosts of that sho...

The Apocalypse has not been kind to Father Christmas, but this...
