🏆8-time Signal Award-winning audio drama podcast🏆 following the adventures of Elizabeth Kirby and Odessa Valdez as they search for "happily ever after."
"Once Upon a Wasteland" is a post-apocalyptic science-fiction romance set in
@BethesdaStudios
'
@Fallout
universe.
It follows the story of Elizabeth Kirby and Odessa Valdez as they work together to save the civilization growing in Appalachia and fall in love along the way.
All of this happened because someone was mad about a video game.
Just think about that for a second.
Someone doxxed a creator and used that information in an attempt to harm one of the most potent charity operations in the gaming space because they were MAD ABOUT A VIDEO GAME.
I promised to explain, so I am.
Earlier this month I was doxed.
One of the things that specifically happened is serious enough that the FBI has a case file open. The FBI agent shared some advice for streamers and creators with me that I'm linking below. 👇
I'm fully aware that the people running Prime Video know infinitely more about producing and distributing TV, of course, but I've never been a fan of the binge model.
I feel strongly that I would've enjoyed the show even more w/o the pressure to watch it all in a few days.
The season two premiere of Once Upon a Wasteland is now available!
We rejoin Beth & Odessa's story about a year after the events of the first season. Beth is away on a mission and Odessa takes stock of the changes in her life as a new crisis is set in motion.
Our "Once Upon a Wasteland" t-shirt giveaway is in full swing, but we have even more great stuff to give away during

I had an American director ask me to do a Cockney accent for a show once. I politely asked if he wanted actual Cockney or what Americans would think was Cockney.
He said the former but changed his mind after I gave him about three completely incomprehensible sentences. 😂
@golikehellmachi
I just watched a YouTube video about headlights and the host talked about this exact thing. The US went from mandating literally the same sealed-beam headlights on every vehicle to it being an arms race to see whose headlights can melt people's faces off fastest.
Hey, folks, the first of our two
@Bethesda
-sponsored giveaways is in full swing and there's still plenty of time to enter!
You can win one of five gorgeous

lithographs, featuring iconic scenes and characters from
@Fallout
's first 25 years.
In my wildest, most aspirational dreams when I started this project 2½ years ago, I never - not once - thought that I'd see Once Upon a Wasteland prominently displayed to everyone who logs into
#Fallout76
like this.
Thank you to everyone who helped us get here.💖
@ask_aubry
I have literally never had anyone complain that I've held a door for them. The "worst" that happens is not getting a thank-you but, like, who cares? Basic courtesy shouldn't come with a demand to be thanked/acknowledged.
@NeolithicSheep
I had an IRS scammer call me at work a few years ago.
I work in a secure Federal government facility. We all got a chuckle out of that one.

So,
@Fallout
, I have a suggestion.
If our photo gallery is full, can you either have the game warn us when we enter Photomode or provide a way to delete photos from our gallery without backing out of the shot we just spent a bunch of time setting up?

Hello, Twitter, my name is Brad. If you see this post, say hi!
I'm the creator of an audio drama called "Once Upon a Wasteland," an audio drama set in the
#Fallout
universe. It's a sci-fi/mystery driven by a love story between two strong, empowered women.
@NextOnStageOne
A *huge* thank-you to
@Fallout
and especially
@LadyDevann
for sending this amazing care package! My love for Mr. Fuzzy is well-known, and I missed out on getting a
#Fallout25
litho because they sold out so quickly. So much awesome stuff - literally everything is fantastic!
And here it is! I'd like to send out a huge thank you to the
@Fallout
team for featuring us, especially
@accio_kittens
.
It's important to note that none of this would have happened without
@LadyDevann
. Thank you!
Big news! I got my first local radio interview to talk about the show! Details are still being worked out, but this is a pretty darn exciting milestone.

A big thank you to the
@Fallout
team for helping commemorate Beth & Odessa's nuptials with the Newlyweds Outfit Bundle in the

@TKsMantis
In my experience, "yOu dON't kNoW faLloUt" is the siren cry that's accompanied by the worst and/or gatekeepiest takes you'll ever find, so they can safely be ignored.
This is a particularly delicious example of that, though. 😂
When universes collide...
Our show is all about strong women, and
@melissaCnavia
's Lt. Erica Ortegas is one of the strongest on TV today.
If Beth found herself in the
#StarTrek
universe and met her, there's no way they wouldn't end up kicking ass together.
Art by
@Lukael
The artists in this community never cease to amaze me, and
@Charo_Miami
is one of the best. She took this commission idea (Beth & Odessa w/the twins) and ran with it in a way that is just breathtaking.
She tied this version to the Prologue, which was such an inspired idea. 💖
I'm going to try to lay this out as simply as I can.
There is no
#Fallout76
today without its community.
That community, if it even still existed, wouldn't be anything close to what it is today without
@LadyDevann
and everything she's done to keep the fires burning.
Hey, folks! I generally don't announce things on Friday, but I'm too excited to not make an exception here.
As you may know, October marks the 25th Anniversary of
@Fallout
. We'll be marking that anniversary with some fun stuff, including the launch of Season Two on October 17th!
A video game is not life-or-death. A TV show is not life-or-death.
Yet we have people - a lot of them - who have made their entire identity about a single installment in a video game franchise and conduct themselves as though it were.
I hope jail provides some perspective.
@LagoonTrading
Washington himself had a very progressive attitude toward sexuality and put it into practice as a military leader; von Steuben is one of the best examples of how that helped win the war.
Hey, folks, Brad here. I'd like to say something to the
#Fallout
community that I don't say out loud nearly enough.
Thank you.
Without you, this show would never have achieved the success it has. It might not have even made it through one season. 🧵
The tenth and final episode of our second season, "We Cannot Know What Lies Ahead," is now available.
Beth and Odessa grapple with an uncertain future and take stock of their journey so far as an invasion looms.

Hello, everyone! We've reached an important milestone, and while I'm generally reticent to share hard numbers I felt this one was worth making an exception.
To all of our listeners, our cast, our supporters, our followers... you're the ones who made this happen. Thank you. 💖
We're less than two weeks away from the launch of Season Two of "Once Upon a Wasteland," which debuts on October 17th.
Now is a perfect time to catch up on the first season! It's available on your favorite podcast player. Here it is on

Please join me in wishing
@PlaysVitriol
a happy birthday.
I keep trying to find words to describe her but I never quite get there. I'm starting to think there aren't any, or at least not enough. Brilliant, talented, passionate, funny, beautiful... it's an honor to be her friend.
I really need to stop obsessing over one person (whom I've never interacted with directly) not liking me out of the literally hundreds I interact with in both the Fallout and audio drama communities. 😦
Never forget the human side of these announcements.
Devann is passionate, dedicated, and thoughtful & has been an immeasurably valuable asset to the
@Fallout
community.
#Fallout76
might have withered on the vine if not for her & how she's tirelessly fostered this community.
Just got the news that unfortunately, I was one of the positions laid off...
I can't breathe. I love my co workers and community so fucking much this hurts more than I can describe...
We have quite a few new followers thanks to
@Fallout
and
@Bethesda
so kindly spreading the word about our show and providing cool stuff for us to give away for

Welcome! In case you're not familiar with our show, I'd like to let you know what we're about. 🧵

There's no sense in burying the lede. I'd like to announce the second season of "Once Upon a Wasteland," coming this fall.
We couldn't have accomplished what we have without you, and we hope you'll join us as Beth & Odessa's journey continues.
5 years ago today, I took this photo in
#Fallout76
, the first of what would eventually be thousands across 3 platforms.
The show wasn't even a glint in my eye. If you'd told me then what this game would come to mean to me; to *us*, I'd never have believed you.
Thanks,
@Fallout
