EPISODE 9 — Rhys aka Slocum’s Joe Official | Vault Broadcast
How One Fallout Collector Built a Community That Runs on Coffee, Codes, and Kindness
This week on Vault Broadcast, we sit down with UK-based creator Rhys Wilson, better known as Slocum's Joe Official.
From unboxing his first Nuka-Cola bottle to co-founding the Wild Wastelanders Market on Facebook, Rhys has become a major voice in the Fallout merch and fan community. We talk about building a brand, creating safer creator spaces, navigating the ups and downs of affiliate codes, and what it takes to keep going when the algorithm fights back.
Whether you're deep in the Fallout fandom or just love hearing how online communities come together, this one’s for you.

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.
