Special - A Look Back
We’re back! We may have taken a brief break, but we’ve returned with a new SPECIAL for you all. With over ten hours of story already having been told in the form of eight main episodes and two minisodes, we thought that this might be a good time to look back on what’s happened so far. We chose this for two main reasons: to give those of you who have been listening regularly a convenient recap as we move into the latter portion of our first season, and to give those who haven’t listened a good jumping off point if they’d like to start now. Worry not, this isn’t a clip show. This small story sees our Vault Dwellers discussing not only the events that have transpired since Reclamation Day but also sees them discussing a bit of what their lives were like back in Vault 76. Come for the recap and stay for new tidbits of information about the characters. As of this posting, the script for episode 9, titled “We’re Hunting Rabbit,” has been fully written and is being recorded, and the script for episode 10 is over halfway written. We plan to return soon to reveal what’s been happening with our Vault Dwellers since the day that Rabbit was carried off by Eddie Brooks and his mysterious new “employers.” CAST: Phil Lonidier - Alexander Nash Matt Bartlett - "Rabbit" Lindsay Zana - Gina Rhodes Mike Mathewson - Archie Garry Schafer - Bryce Sanders Arielle Skye - Robin Hardy Brian Vaughn - Eddie Brooks Kelly Danielle - Trixie Mitchell Lea Lawson - Kitt TJ Poulos - Tim Harrold Joel Butler – Danny Miller Hosted on Acast.

Minisode 2 - Dead & Breakfast
“Sorry… we are completely booked.”Those words are a warning to any who might wander into the Mountainside Bed and Breakfast nestled in the mountains along Highway 102.

Little do they know that their choice of venue hides a dark secret.This is the second planned “minisode” of Appalachia: A Fallout 76 Story. For this story we look at what happened during the first Halloween outside of Vault 76 directly before the events of “The Halloween Where Nothing Happened,” the episode of CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story that introduced first introduced Xander and Rabbit. This tale is set between the events of episode 7 and episode 8 in the timeline.If you would like to listen to “The Halloween Where Nothing Happened” it can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6gkwWLHzNxsRLnkAFefEr0---CAST:Phil Lonidier - Alexander NashMatt Bartlett - "Rabbit"Lindsay Zana - Gina RhodesMike Mathewson - ArchieGarry Schafer - Bryce SandersArielle Skye - Robin HardyBrian Vaughn - Eddie BrooksKelly Danielle - Trixie MitchellLea Lawson - KittTJ Poulos - Tim HarroldAlice Irvin - JuliettePreston Hardin - HubertDre Ayala - Cannibal 1Pandora Beatrix - Cannibal 2William Nunn - Cannibal 3Kim Wardrop - AngelaCrimson Charger - JasonJoel Butler - Responder Narrator Hosted on Acast.

Season 1 - Episode 08: Of Rabbits and Robots Far in the future, deep within the dark and increasingly shrinking confines of Vault 63, Xander seeks a brief reprieve in the nebulous bathroom created by Mr. Dark. This respite is short lived however, and he resumes the story that began several years prior. Unknown to him and the other survivors of the fires above ground they weren’t the only ones who had made it into Vault 63. While working on some projects for customers of the workshop Xander, Gina, and Archie plan a trip to RobCo Research Center to seek out parts and plans that might help bolster the shop’s defenses. Along the way they learn that Archie seems to be suffering from some peculiar abnormalities in his memory. Meanwhile Eddie meets with a mysterious and potentially dangerous new employer who has an assignment that he simply can’t turn down. Who are these mysterious employers? What might this assignment be? What impact will his actions have on those around him? Some of these questions just might be answered. Everyone is beginning to find their place in Appalachia, but how long will they be able to maintain their footing before things are shaken up?

Minisode 1 - Scrap Iron Chef
Cooking isn't always easy but in the wasteland it requires a certain special something; something Xander clearly lacks. A brief back-and-forth with Archie leads the gang into an unexpected competition joined by some even less expected contestants. This is the first planned "minisode" of Appalachia: A Fallout 76 Story. For this story we take a look at something a bit less serious (but still a bit absurd.) With the holidays having taken center stage last month we wanted to give our cast a bit of a breather, so we have prepared this special story in the meantime. We are currently hard at work with episode 8 and will have that ready for release next month on our regular schedule.
