Pebcak radio is a very personal project that started on mid 2021 trying to revive something i liked about old radios and new podcast the storytelling vibe, one of the reasons i think is now is a weird thing to listen to the radio with all the music streaming platforms so is the same on the future right? i think radio would (will and is) mutate on the way of full advertising + notices + stories that people can hear. So that's it, the radio started as one replacement and now on 3.0 version i decided to ramify the storytelling having on consideration the different paths, so the stories are always the same but the "voice" (the usage of words, the point of view) will change depending on the path, as well the music.

Epic and agreed, the radios not having any ads or hosts aside from Mike's is very weird. I will be awaiting developments on this mod :)

This can look a quite a madness but is another mental mapping to start doing a story having in mind the world, what is surrounding the character (V) and what are their interest, while the stories are always the same, we can change a bit that story with the voice and tone.
👆 still on wip, some factions are not on the map, i look at this when i need it
Some stories are self-made V1.0 & 2.0 explained on a funny way lot of bugs, and some others are from the old books and guides.
Some stuff like the tarot readings by Misty are done with a shard that are in-game (and no one reads btw)
For what i try to use variety of V.A's (i visited many, many AI voice pages.) Mostly of them now i do it with xVAx and Uberduck, but sometimes i still can work with google voice speech. Most of the human and natural voices i use a filter over them to making them look robotic but more because their quality sometimes is emotionless so i needed a way to force it.
And this is an example how a story is changed by the point of views and "voice and tone" Corpo Vs Streetkid
While one is talking about a corpo death and an investigation on course, plus the usage of "justice" (arrested) the other is detailing the quantity of deaths, the style of movement the gangs where doing at the location and the details of merchandise that was traded

Do you ever plan to do this for more stations?
At the moment only Pebcak because 1- I have too little time, and 2- Replaces songs takes time, those time are on part already done (i have placeholders files with the exact track duration by the file i need to replace) so i have to do the same with other radio stations, i still thinking about doing a RadioExt version, but maybe next year or whenever i end my studies to have more time... so not right now, i still struggling to make the V3.0 Nomad path...
old shadow
That's totally fair

from writing stories (or finding new ones) to record VA and edit them all on the songs... can take 2 days or more.

I was waiting for this to return since the release of the RadioExt, hoping for standalones with at least the music if not the stories. Great to see you are still working on it.

Wrote a text, told chatGPT to do the same on the nomad POV:
Greetings fellow Nomads, this is your host, on the airwaves of Radio Free Desert. I have some unfortunate news to report to our listeners today. Last night, a violent incident took place at the Pistis Sophia Hotel in the West Wind Estate. According to our sources, a fight broke out between members of the Scavengers gang, over a dispute involving cyberware and hostages. It seems that one member of the gang had laundered payment for the transport of the hostages, keeping a portion of the funds for themselves. This led to a brutal altercation, leaving 20 individuals dead.
As Nomads, we have always tried to stay clear of the criminal underworld that plagues Night City. We have our own codes and traditions, and we do not involve ourselves in the conflicts of street gangs and corporations. But this incident serves as a harsh reminder that even those who try to remain neutral are not immune to the violence that runs rampant in this city.
This incident also brings to light the dangers of becoming too reliant on technology, specifically cyberware. As Nomads, we have always been cautious of the effects it can have on the body and soul. The Pistis Sophia Hotel incident serves as a tragic example of the consequences of losing touch with one's humanity in the pursuit of power and control.
But, my fellow Nomads, we must not be discouraged by this unfortunate event. We must continue to stay true to our beliefs and traditions. We will not be dragged down by the corruption and violence that plagues Night City. We will continue to survive and thrive on the fringes of society, always remembering the lessons of the Pistis Sophia Hotel incident. This is your host, signing off for now, stay safe out there on the road.
