EPISODE 17: HIGGS

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 23:17:57 GMT

This week, Mal takes advantage of the camaraderie of drinks in the Boozin’ Brahmin to snag someone he’s wanted to interview for a while: Daniel Higgs, a raider boss nestled deep in the north of the ‘Divide— walking distance from Mal’s own homestead near Knife Edge. This discussion does not shy away from truth— what it takes for some folks to survive out here, what we’ve ALL done to stay alive… and how what you see, and assume, is often NOT what it appears. Or in Higgs’ own words: “You’ll find the cleanest-looking men in the world doing the dirtiest things and deals behind closed doors. Never take a man at his face value.” Join us for drinks and some unapologetic questions and answers this week on OUTLAWS & UNDERDOGS!

Hey Wastelanders! Mal is back! After taking an injury from an unexpected beast, he’s been holed up in a transmission station, recovering. As luck would have it, he finds a book full of some of his very favorite stories— including one that might teach some of y’all out there listening what “charisma” really means in the Wasteland. So sit down, get comfortable, boil up a hot drink with your friends and listen to Mal create a little audio drama for y’all… and tell you a tale about a man who killed seven at one blow.

EPISODE 15: CHILD OF THE WASTES

Tue, 23 May 2023 19:42:21 GMT

Wastelanders, if you remember one episode this season, it may very well be this one. Following last week’s interview, Master Sgt. Jack Ryker discovers a dropped holotape left behind… by Mal? Secrets unravel as he plays the mysterious tape and hears a dramatic, emotional tale of the children left behind by Vault-Tec - and the world - after the bombs dropped; left to fend for themselves and learn a whole new way to stay alive. Featuring a guest cameo by @BosunZest and a rediscovered, remastered recording stored by some long-gone Scribe, this episode also contains some of Mal’s proudest voice work ever in the history of the show. Short and sweet but intense and memorable, CHILD OF THE WASTES is a whole new audio drama for all of you… in less than ten minutes.

Featuring the AMAZING @skaldstories of the Fallout 5-0 and beyond, along with five-foot roaches and other terrifying enforcers, this is one of the most immersive tales I’ve ever been lucky enough to produce.

EPISODE 12: SODAPOP RETURNS

Wed, 03 May 2023 02:31:31 GMT

Wastelanders, I hope you’re holding on to your seats for this one. We catch up with our very first guest, SODAPOP… who’s returned to his Raider life and is willing to tell us why. In this shockingly deep discussion, Mal asks the tough questions: where do you draw the lines in the Wasteland between choice and loyalty? What is “good” in terms of survival? How do folks become Raiders, anyway… and why? The answers — and more — may surprise you. Hopefully, they’ll make you think the way they sure did Mal. And we want to hear from you: what do YOU think? Tell us at captainmalseventyseven@gmail.com on your pip-boys, or drop us a message at https://anchor.fm/76stories/message! DON’T MISS THIS ONE! Special guest voice @sodderpop brings comedy and serious discussion both under their umbrella of glorious chaos. /// AND PLEASE NOTE: This month, I’m fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Association as part of the #falloutforhope “The Longest Day” campaign with Wes Johnson. Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease that takes our loved ones away from us twice— the first time when they no longer remember us. I should know: I lost my beloved grandmother that way. The Alzheimer’s Association is fighting to raise awareness and support for treatments to combat this cruel disease—you can support their work by going to Alz.org, and if you like my work and feel moved to donate, you can do so directly through my verified Tiltify campaign at https://tiltify.com/@captainmalseventyseven/ending-alzheimers. For my Grama. Thank you.

Hey Wastelanders! This evening-release episode is as awesome as they come— today, Mal has trekked back to the Forest to talk to Archer: a member of the New Responders (voiced by the extraordinary @riverrevived) with some of the most interesting stories I’ve heard yet. What was it like growing up after the bombs dropped, only hearing about the pre-War world through books and stories? How did he survive his first hours and days outside Vault 76? How does he really feel about saving lives? And what exactly IS up with Private Ryker’s coffee, anyway?? Don’t miss this episode — as Archer is unafraid to live his truth. TUNE ON IN!

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:53:07 GMT

Here it is, Wastelanders! A day late but DEFINITELY worth it. In this episode, Mal wanders back once again to Morgantown, to interview Ranger Tom Houston, a survivor and patrol officer with the New Responders. He talks to us about his childhood, his close-knit sense of community in Vault 76 after the loss of his mother, his incredible experiences out in the Wasteland, and how the New Responders really are his calling. I’ve heard it said that folks have got to help each other out if we want to survive, but rarely have I heard it said so WELL. Exciting, emotional, funny, and with some damn good advice, don’t miss this episode of OUTLAWS & UNDERDOGS!!
