Blackfoot Radio - A Fallout western radio mod
Alben Bloomfield for Radio Host - John H. Belden
Description:
Belden is the ghoul host of Blackfoot Radio, broadcasting from post-war Wyoming. Before the bombs, he was a photographer and rancher who worked freelance for old companies like Nuka-Cola, Grey Tourtoise, and Sunset Sarsaparilla. Now, he lives a quiet, reflective life with his glowing pet ferret Lantern, sharing old songs, stories of the high plains, and local weather reports with a friendly touch. His voice blends weathered wisdom with understated humor and lingering nostalgia. He’s not a radio showman; he’s the kind of man who’d talk to you on a front porch over coffee.
Requirements:
- Main host of the radio
- Around 300 lines as of now, mostly intros and outros for songs, ad reads for weather and local caravans, and Belden's own stories
- Belden's voice is weathered and dusty, but still warm, like a grandpa
- High quality audio, akin to other characters in the Fallout games
- (Optional) Must sound like a ghoul (raspy, dry), but still clear and expressive.
- (Optional) Familiarity with the Fallout franchise is recommended but not needed
(Optional) Occasionally sings in a plain, folksy voice - musicality is a plus, but not required.

This is Blackfoot Radio, bringin' you old tunes, older stories, and the occasional squeak from my partner, Lantern.
Just one photo. A boy sittin’ on a fencepost. Barefoot, jeans rolled, hair like straw. He’s got a stick across his lap like it’s a rifle, but he’s smilin’ so wide it splits the frame.And he’s lookin’ straight at the lens, like he knows what’s comin’ but don’t mind.
(In singing voice) [If you can't or won't sing, as if telling a story] I saddled up north where the thunder don’t cry,; The rails had all rusted, the water was dry.; The sky didn’t speak, just stared with one eye,; And I rode where the tracks run dry;
Wait, John is a ghoul AND a FEV super mutant?! Man of many talents. 👀
Congrats on the role!
Hahahahaha I'll admit, I completely adlibbed that last bit to pay homage to one of my favorite side characters of all video games, Harold. You know those ol Ghoul memories ain't what they used to be! 😝
I appreciate you greatly, good sir! I hope we get to work together sometime in the future!
