  • Behind The Button | Campaign 1 Recap & After Action Report

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button, where even the post-season debrief has twists we didn't see coming!

    Campaign One is officially in the books. Alex, William, and Game Master Dallas pull back the curtain on the full season — what was planned, what got blown up, what surprised everyone, and what's coming next. If you've ever wondered how much of the chaos was intentional, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

    Episode Highlights:

    Were We Supposed to Die?: 

    Dallas opens up about the Wendigo finale, what the "real" ending was supposed to look like, and how Gotfree's lucky metal throw changed everything.

    The Wendigo's True Power: 

    The mind control mechanic wasn't in the plan. Dallas reveals he built it in real time as the crew started poking around, and how a roll of the dice turned Jake into a potential cannibal acolyte.

    Moments Dallas Will Never Forget: 

    From Houston trying to kick a dog instead of shooting it, to the infamous True Love's Kiss attempt, to an entire episode spent removing a lens cap, the GM breaks down his favorite unplanned moments from the campaign.

    The Super Duper Mart You Never Visited: 

    A full combat encounter with feral ghouls and a layered story about Robert Short's past still sitting untouched in Harrison. 

    Building Wide, Not Deep: 

    Dallas explains his GM philosophy and how real life cast changes forced some mid-campaign pivots that ultimately made the story better.

    Five Words for Campaign Two:

    Each member makes their prediction. Dallas's answer is cryptic for a reason.

  • CAMPAIGN 1 FINALE

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button, where the wasteland doesn't let you catch your breath, especially after you've pressed the button.

    In this episode, the Stragglers emerge from the rubble of Mitten Point to face something none of them were ready for. With cages full of survivors scattered across the wreckage and the cultist threat seemingly behind them, the crew begins to pick up the pieces, until something ancient and terrible rises from the debris. What follows is a desperate, gut-wrenching fight that pushes Jake, Houston, and Gotfree to their absolute limits... and ends a chapter none of them will forget!

    Episode Highlights:

    A Grim Rescue: With wooden crates holding survivors scattered across the blast zone, the crew splits up to free the captives, and discovers just how organized and methodical the cult's operation truly was.

    Rise of the Wendigo: Just when it seems the worst is over, something emerges from the rubble in shattered power armor and bone

    What Jake Remembered: A spent luck point and a flashback to a conversation with Brotherhood initiates Pennington and Wellington just might be the key to defeating something nearly indestructible.

    The Mind Battle: The Wendigo doesn't just fight with fists.

    [REDACTED]: The moment this episode has been building toward. You'll want to hear it for yourself.

    Notable Quotes:
    "I think it's the Wendigo. I think he's real."
    "You three have interfered for the last time."
    "Are you hungry? I can take care of that. I can take care of you."
    "You will not hurt any of my friends ever again."
    "Friends here. Me here. Big world out. You smell like home. Like campfire. Like yesterday."
    "I ran the statistics on that in approximately 0.003 seconds and I will keep them to myself."

  • C1E18 | Trust Me

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button — where the wasteland doesn’t wait for you to be ready.

    In this episode, the Stragglers pick up in the aftermath of chaos as the group regroups near the wreckage of the vertibird and realizes the danger is far from over. With injuries mounting, nerves fraying, and an overwhelming number of cannibal cultists emerging from the darkness, the crew is forced to make impossible decisions under pressure — and to place their trust in unlikely hands.

    Episode Highlights:

    The Calm Is Gone: After fending off an initial threat, the group realizes they’ve drawn the attention of something much larger — “20, 30, 40 cultists pouring out” from beyond the walls of Mitten Point.
    Desperate Planning: With the vertibird grounded and the enemy closing in, the team scrambles for cover, supplies, and any advantage they can find.
    A Dangerous Weapon: Attention turns to a damaged mini nuke launcher — powerful, unstable, and possibly their only chance to survive what’s coming.
    Unlikely Faith: As fear peaks and options run out, one member steps forward with a plan so bold it borders on madness.

    Notable Quotes:

    “Just eat me. I’m already cooked.”
    “I want to press the big red button.”
    “This is only way. I save little Peanut.”
    “Please just trust me.”

  • C1E17 | Crash, Burn, and Run

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button, where survival is never guaranteed, and backup is never coming!

    In this episode, the Stragglers claw their way out of the wreckage after a catastrophic crash, scattered across the wasteland and surrounded by enemies. With injuries stacking up and cannibals closing in, the crew is forced into a brutal, chaotic firefight just to stay alive.

    But even when the dust settles… it becomes clear that what they just survived was only the beginning.

    Episode Highlights:

    Crash and Chaos:
    The vertibird and Winnebago collide in a violent wreck, leaving everyone “strewn about the wasteland in varying degrees of disrepair… maybe dying.”

    Back in the Fight:
    Jake breaks free and makes a desperate stand while Gotfree sprints straight into danger to shield him — “My goal is his protection.”

    Brutal Close Combat:
    Rippers tear through armor and flesh as the cannibals press in, leaving the crew hanging on by a thread.

    Super Mutant Reinforcements:
    The mutants rally hard, turning the tide with devastating blows — sending bodies flying and cultists dropping fast.

    Barely Standing:
    With Houston on the brink and the team scrambling for supplies, survival comes down to quick thinking… and questionable medical decisions.

    A Bigger Threat Emerges:
    Just as the fight ends, dozens of cultists begin pouring out of the darkness — far more than the crew can handle.

    Notable Quotes:

    “You don’t hurt Got Free.”
    “For Klawsinski and for Dustridge!”
    “Drink, you idiot. Drink up.”
    “Can a cannibal eat me right now, please?”

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button, an actual-play Fallout podcast where things rarely go as expected.

    In this episode, the Stragglers are torn apart when one of their own is captured by a roaming group of cannibals and dragged away under cover of darkness. Left behind in a busted diner, the remaining crew teams up with their super mutant allies to figure out what happened, follow the trail, and decide just how far they’re willing to go to get their friend back.

    Episode Highlights:

    Taken by Cannibals: “You are in dire straits, my friend… you were captured by the cannibals.”
    Left Behind: A robot and a ghoul are left “holding the broken pieces of their friendship in this old busted up diner.”
    Super Mutant Search: “Looks like tracks. Looks like wheel tracks.”
    The Winnebago: “We are being chased by a Winnebago.”
    Desperate Choices: “Do not let him hear this… but I’ve grown rather fond of Master Winger.”

  • C1E12 | Jake's Woodland Adventure

    Have you or a loved one been impacted by a nuclear apocalypse? Reach out to us to tell us your stories!

    Welcome back to The Big Red Button - the Fallout podcast that's trippier than a radroach on Jet!

    In this episode, our wasteland wanderer Jake accidentally ingests some glowing mushrooms, sending him on a psychedelic journey through his own mind. As Jake hallucinates talking squirrels and imaginary polar bears, he's forced to confront traumatic memories from his time in Vault 56, including the mysterious Overseer Bauer.

    This is our first ever scripted, narrative adventure! We hope you enjoy, and we've got our next regular episodes ready to rock and roll!

    [00:00] Buckle up, buttercups, 'cause we're about to take a trip... and I don't mean to the local Super Duper Mart! Our vault-dwelling hero Jake is about to embark on a MUSHROOM-FUELED JOURNEY that'll make you say, "War. War never changes... but my perception of reality sure does!"

    [05:30] Things get SQUIRRELLY when Jake's hallucinations introduce him to a furry friend with some not-so-friendly intentions. Is it a radroach? Is it his subconscious? Or is it just really good writing? (Spoiler: it's all three!)

    [18:00] Hold onto your Pip-Boys, folks! Jake's trippy adventure takes a VAULT-TASTIC turn as he confronts his past and tells Overseer Bauer where to shove his "for your own good" attitude. It's like group therapy, but with more yelling and imaginary snow!

    [31:00] Just when you thought things couldn't get any deeper, Gotfree the robot drops some EXISTENTIAL TRUTH BOMBS that'll make your circuits sizzle. Who knew a Mr. Handy could be so... handy with life advice?

    • Jake eats glowing mushrooms (because OF COURSE he does)

    • Imaginary squirrels are NOT your friends

    • Vault trauma: it's not just for breakfast anymore!

    • Gotfree: part robot, part therapist, all sass
