Six Ways To Sunday: A Weird News Podcast

This week we’ve invited John barton to talk about his experience previewing and playing Fallout 76 at the Greenbrier Resort. He’s been working with WV Explorer, 100 Days in Appalachia, and WV Autism. He’s a writer, teacher, community organizer and all around great guy. He goes in depth on his connection to the upcoming game and what it means to Appalachia as a whole. John has a unique perspective as he details talking with Bethesda Game Studios Developers and why Fallout 76 is one of the most loving recreations of West Virginia. John is also gathering multiple organizations to throw a Reclamation Day party which is included in the links below. www.reclaimwv.com 

Hey Folks! Dave here to let you know we did a special crossover with Lore Party recently. You may remember Jaden as a guest on 2 earlier episodes. He’s great and he beat me at my loosely crafted Mothman gameshow. Jaden invited me to sit down with another member of Lore Party “Lawrence” and talk about the ins and outs of the brotherhood of steel. You should definitely go over and listen to that episode in it’s full extent. This is a short excerpt from the tail end of the podcast where I talk about The Brotherhood of Steel In fallout 76. It pairs well with the original which you can find in the link in the description. I really enjoy the content Lore Party puts out and it’s nice to collaborate with a group that values the deeper narrative that games create. I’ll turn it over to Abu.. https://loreparty.com/ Link to the episode https://open.spotify.com/episode/2HYeBY0R1Ci1hgaPpp0eE4?si=ytKrKCc7SLGjT1k6CafSrQ
