Well, look what the Molerat dragged in. Folks in these parts call me Trader Red, and I heard tell that ya’ll are newcomers to old Appalachia. Mind you, these hills aren’t quite what they used to be…full of Super Mutants, Ghouls…things we call Scorched, and a cryptid or two might cross your path.

But you’re darn lucky to have little old me as your tour guide. See, I ain’t from around these parts…I’m a backwoods Tennessee gal, through and through, but let’s just say that Appalachia is my home away from home.

Figure you guessed the whole Trader part, right? I’m the best at finding the things folks need…guns, ‘shine, and the odd doo-dad and thingamajig that might tickle your fancy.

And finding those things means I go all over…from Morgantown to Lewisburg, and Berkeley Springs to Watoga, no one knows these hills like Trader Red.

So, if you wanna see the sights, learn some history, and not get eaten at the same time, follow old Trader Red here as we wander through the Wasteland of post-war Appalachia, and maybe, just maybe, uncover some juicy tidbits and secrets along the way.


Deep in the irradiated hills of Appalachia, a story unfolds from within the Whitespring Bunker. The MODUS Files-A Fallout Audio Drama Podcast Series is an immersive journey into a fractured future. Following Reclamation Day, the survivors from Vault 76 scattered across a hostile land. While some turned to raiding or solitary wandering, a select few were drawn to the enigmatic AI known as MODUS, who promised a return to America's former glory. This audio drama follows those characters as they navigate this uneasy alliance, tasked with rebuilding a nation from the ashes. But the past is never truly buried, and their mission quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Each episode pulls you into a world of creeping dread and hard choices, where every discovered log and every whispered conversation reveals another layer of the bunker's dark secrets. Created by Lawrence McNamara, this fiction podcast blends rich sound design with character-driven storytelling, exploring the grim intersection of science and ideology. You'll walk the echoing corridors alongside the protagonists, feeling the weight of their decisions as they confront not only the mutated horrors outside, but the even more dangerous truths festering within their own ranks. It's a tale of legacy, corruption, and what it truly means to reclaim a world that might be better left forgotten.
