True Vault Escapades: A Fallout Audio Drama

A full-cast audio drama presenting original, noir-style detective stories set in the post-apocalyptic universe of the Fallout video games.

The brief

This is a scripted, full-cast audio drama that plays like a classic 1940s radio show transplanted into the world of Fallout. It centers on a hard-boiled detective and his vault-dweller partner solving cases that range from local murders to grand conspiracies involving factions like the Brotherhood of Steel and The Institute. While grounded in Fallout's New Vegas setting, the series frequently expands on game lore and occasionally features ambitious crossover episodes with franchises like Star Wars and BioShock.

The show's primary distinction is its commitment to the full-cast, soundscaped audio drama format, creating an immersive, in-universe experience that feels like a genuine wasteland radio broadcast. Its willingness to tackle ambitious crossovers, blending the Fallout noir style with the aesthetics of Star Wars or BioShock, also sets it apart.
— What makes it distinctive
§1 · The host

Who hosts this show

True Vault Escapades is a fan-created audio drama from writer and producer Preston Hardin, an Austin-based voice actor. Inspired by classic radio shows like 'Nick Carter, Master Detective' and in-game programs from the Fallout series, Hardin created the show to tell new, lore-friendly stories within the game's world. The show, which began in 2016, follows detective Walter Camry and his companion Bunny as they solve mysteries across the wasteland. It originated as a project for Hardin's fan-made 'A-Bomb Radio' station and has since grown into a long-running, award-winning podcast with over 50 voice actors involved.
