Fallout isn’t just a game — it’s a lifestyle. And this week on Vault Broadcast, we’re joined by the incredible Courier Claire: artist, cosplayer, content creator, and founder of the Great Midwest Commonwealth — a thriving cosplay and LARP group bringing Fallout fans together across the American Midwest.
Claire talks about her 15-year love for Fallout, the thrift-based sustainability of wasteland costuming, how 3D printing is changing access to cosplay, and why Benny from New Vegas holds a special place in her wardrobe (even in 100-degree Orlando heat).
We also dive into the growth of her cosplay troop — from zero to over 100 members in under a year — and her plans to expand into LARP events, in-con booths, and long-term community collaborations. Whether you’re a fellow Vault Dweller, aspiring costumer, or someone who’s ever dreamed of rolling around in the Nevada desert for “real weathering,” this episode is a must-listen.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
