What would the radio sound like?

[Matt W]

Who manufactures the radio sets Can they be tuned to other stations

It might be fun to teach people how to make crystal radios - and then set up a station to compete with the "bad guy" radio

"GOOD MORNING NORTH AMERICA! Hey, this is not a test. This is rock and roll. Time to rock it from Toronto to the Big Nickel!"

[ArmySGT.]

"Fwishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Squeal, Squeek. "Fwissssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

ISTR a discussion with a truck driver whose CB was rigged to send and receive over huge distances. He did this by not connecting to his standard CB antenna, but ran the connection to his large metal trailer, which boosted the performance massively. OF course it was quite against FCC regulations....

Is there any interest in making some radio sound bites

I am looking for something that will let me make some radio stuff for my players to hear. I'd be happy to swap with others for more stations if anyone is interested. Does anyone know of a good free program

Hmmmm........ there are various audio recorders....... you can record to MP3 for play back........... voice actors though....... hmmm write some scripts and visit other gaming groups

I'd be happy to write some scripts. Heck I'll do some some of them myself. I was wondering if, like the NPC's, other people might be interested in compiling some. I think we could have some fun with weather forecasts, crop reports, "local" and "classic" music. Maybe some baseball scores. I'm betting that a fairly recognizable game of baseball survived. Add in some government announcements and a few "messages from our sponsors" like "Come on down to Jepson's Diner! Roasted animal fresh, guaranteed 93% pure or better! Vegetables like you great grandma used to make. While you are there, use the handy mail service by the paddle wheeler "Fevre Dream". Fastest run up the Mississippi to KFS of any service."
What do you think

Get some sounds from here to loop under the voice actors and we have something.

That is great!

I think that is a great find! Thanks. Anyone know where I can find a cheap "mixer" program to overlay that with me talking

i like the idea of having a "numbers station" broadcasting pseudo random strings. it could just be flavor or you could use it as an adventure hook.

How do we share the MP3s

Is there a file section I'm missing I started by recording the first "sponsor message" to give it a try. I'm no broadcaster, but I'm thinking there won't be too many pros left to criticize either. I was going to put it up here and start what I hoped might be a library.

Probably best to set up an independent Google drive for sharing.
