Wasteland Broadcasting Network
In a world where radio has been silent for fifteen years, the Wasteland Broadcasting Network becomes the first signal to break through the static. Sponsored by Happy Fallout Media, WBN brings news, stories, survivor commentary, and the kind of entertainment only a post‑apocalyptic world could inspire. Hosted by a weary but determined broadcaster doing her best to keep the signal steady along with a ragtag team of cohosts, WBN documents life in the ruins one chaotic broadcast at a time. If you can hear this, celebrate. Broadcasting is back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK Survivor… Before you step into the wasteland, you deserve a moment of honesty. Mostly so we can’t be blamed later. This place is not for everyone. In fact, it’s barely a place for anyone. But if you’re still here, that’s a personal choice you’ll have to live with. Inside these ruins, you will encounter: dark humor so bleak it makes the apocalypse look cheerful satire sharp enough to cut through your last shred of optimism survival guides written by people who should not be giving advice to anyone, ever and factions who think “diplomacy” means yelling louder and hoping for the best If you’re the kind of person who: laughs during disaster movies copes with stress by making jokes that would get you banned from polite society sees a burning wasteland and thinks “well, at least it’s warm” or simply has no better hobbies… You belong here. (We’re sorry. But also, welcome.) Proceed knowing: You’ve been warned. You’re responsible for your own emotional safety. And if you get offended, the wasteland will not be issuing refunds, apologies, or sympathy. Now step forward, brave (or deeply confused) wanderer. The wasteland awaits. It’s dramatic. It’s ridiculous. It’s dangerous. And honestly? It’s kind of fun.
Episodes
After dealing with a radiation dust storm that swept the wasteland and contending with zombies trying to eat the reconstruction crew, the Wasteland Broadcasting Network is back online!
Join Abby and Jace as they give a sneak preview of things to come as well as listen to the first official message from the Happy Fallout Media corporation as they announce Jace Holloway's upcoming book, Basking in the Nuclear Sun: Anyway, The World ...
Join Rusty Buckner in the debut episode of Bunker Handyman: Disaster Edition as he tries to fix someone's bunker water filtration system. While Rusty makes his assessment and repairs, the survivor slowly starts revealing his system and extolls the beauty of the color green and how extra clean water needs a LOT of ingredients. Rusty is not impressed.
Jace Holloway dives into the infamous bean raid that turned a spilled shipment into a full-blown power shift with a crew who didn’t just steal supplies but accidentally invented the wasteland’s preferred currency. Then he pivots to the Rusted Sons, whose attempt at a high‑stakes weapon heist ended in disaster. It’s a tale of strategy, stupidity, and the thin line between becoming a legend and becoming a cautionary tale.
This week on the Survivor Hotline, Abby tackles the wasteland’s finest disasters: a listener trying to domesticate a toddler‑sized cockroach, neighbors claiming their bunker is haunted, and someone who thinks beans might be a love language.
Also, no, you cannot order a pizza. Please stop asking.
The universe is leaking again, and the wasteland is feeling it. With the Sun drowning in Pisces, the Moon switching signs mid‑stride, and Mercury retrograde gnawing on the comms grid, the day unfolds in a haze of soggy intuition and unstable cosmic weather. Proceed with caution.
Nova Thorne is back (whether the wasteland asked for her or not), bringing her signature brand of aggressive positivity straight into your bunker.
In this debut episode, she attempts to teach survivors how to bloom where they’re planted, even if its in the rubble of the ruins. Expect guided breathing exercises that somehow make the apocalypse feel personal, reframing raider attacks as emotional growth opportunities, and enough grat...
The debut episode of Ruinside Rants opens with a takedown of Pleasant Valley Estates that quickly spirals into a full audit of their clipboard‑wielding tyranny. That is until an unexpected signal intrusion from an unknown source derails the broadcast with breaking mutant‑wrestling news.
Tune into WBN News 404 AM for this week's market report. Canned beans are always a good bet, but what will the found warehouse full of old tuna do to the wasteland economy?
We also hear from Nova Thorne for the wasteland fashion report. Don't be caught dead in last year's fashion trends!
Conflict has broken out between the factions of the Rust Rats and Acolytes of the Great Vending Machine! If tensions continue to rise, an all-out faction war could be imminent!
Plus, yet another unauthorized ad makes an appearance.
A radiation dust storm is swiftly approaching Zone 57. Take cover, and listen to our very important disaster weather alert for your area, presented by Jace Holloway.
If you thought the wasteland was lawless, if you believed survival was about resilience, adaptation, and sheer dumb luck, you were wrong. The apocalypse may have erased governments, economies, and sanity itself, but somehow, HOA regulations have endured.
And they are coming for you.
Before the ground shifts, before the water turns black, before a settlement falls into silence, he is there.
In this first episode of Beyond the Ruins: Encounters with the Unknown, Rowan Blackwood tries to unravel the unsettling legend of the Pale Watcher, a figure who appears in the final days before catastrophe.
With firsthand accounts and unexplained patterns, this episode explores the possibility that some horrors don’t hunt, t...
The Wasteland Broadcasting Network kicks off the very first episode of Wasteland Survivor’s Hotline with a special guest: Jace Holloway, invited to lend his unique perspective on the questions plaguing survivors across the wasteland.
Together, he and our narrator tackle burning questions about drinking glowing liquids, projecting fake wasteland bravado, eating mysterious “food,” encountering suspicious winks, and dealing with the su...
In this broadcast from the Wasteland Broadcasting Network, our narrator breaks down the myths, misunderstandings, and magnificently avoidable mistakes that helped shape the wasteland as we know it. From the “usefulness” of fire to humanity’s long, proud history of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, this episode sets the tone for a series dedicated to calling out the nonsense that got us here and the nonsense that keeps us her...
The eclipse is unhinged, the stars are bickering, and Vega Nightshade is here to explain why every zodiac sign is one bad decision away from disaster.
From cosmic mood swings to explosive mishaps, this week’s broadcast charts the chaos unfolding across the wasteland sky.
Before the sky turned red, Jace Holloway wanted to be a writer. Now he’s a survivor with a pen, a microphone, and a lifetime of material he never asked for.
Each episode, Jace recounts the strange, dangerous, and painfully stupid moments that define life in the Great Aftermath, from cult mishaps to mutant wildlife to the eternal curse of HOA committees that somehow survived the end of the world.
Welcome to the wasteland. Try not to d...
After fifteen years of dead air, the Wasteland Broadcasting Network finally breaks through the static of the post-apocalyptic wasteland to bring news, entertainment, and more!
Join our beleaguered host as they attempt to introduce the network, only to face interruptions by her fellow survivors and an odd unauthorized commercial break.
WBN is here, and we’ll keep broadcasting until there’s no one left to listen.
