Kentucky…once part of the East Central Commonwealth before the Great War, had been a place of Whiskey and Thoroughbreds, where the elite came to witness the Great Kentucky Derby while the factories of Louisville and Lexington turned out armaments for the conflict with China.

The horses are long gone, as are the elites and their factories, leaving a broken and blighted landscape behind for the survivors. Now known more as a place you pass through - casting glances at the remains of the old world on your way to somewhere else - old Kentucky ain’t what it used to be.Trader Red hadn’t meant to get herself caught in the middle of yet another mess…but here she was, watching over a bunch of folks she neither knew nor really cared to, as her eyes were still cast to those hills far to the south in Tennessee.

But the Wasteland has a habit of turning any straight line into one damn twisted pretzel…and choices, good or bad, have consequences long down the line.

The story of Appalachia has come to a close, but a new story has just become. The Smoky Mountains of Tennessee are calling and Trader Red is going home...what will follow is an epic tale of revenge and remembrance.

The Wasteland is a treacherous place, full of dangers both human and monster. On an old Kentucky road, a waylaid family, a group of Raiders, and Trader Red are on a collision course.

In the middle of a suffocating dust storm...the Ballad Begins.

For those who missed it, we were able to participate in an amazing Panel at the Fallout Celebration in Goodsprings. The creators of The MODUS Files and True Vault Escapades discuss their podcasts, stories, characters and history, while also taking questions from fans!

Enjoy the discussion!

Season 4 - Coming Soon!

Once upon a time, many years ago in a place called Vault 76, the best and brightest of the old world were safe from the ravages of nuclear fire and destruction.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Vaults were designed to safeguard the future of humanity…at least some of them were. Many survivors were subjected to the most inhumane and vile experiments, all in the name of preserving the future of the species.

Vault 76 wasn’t supposed to be that way…it was a control Vault, a special place exactly as described in the Vault Tec Propaganda. However, not even the Garden of Eden was perfect…and deep underground, when presented with her own opportunity to take a bite of the Fruit of Knowledge, the Overseer will cross the line and create a monster of her own, all in the name of the greater good.

Earlier this month, we got together with the incomparable Jessica Star and members of our cast to take a look back at our main story and three complete seasons of the MODUS Files.

From very humble beginnings, our podcast has grown to become one of the most popular Fallout podcasts in the world, telling a compelling story of the fate of Appalachia.

Listen to our cast relate their experiences and share time with us as we discuss the characters, the lore, and the behind of the scenes of The MODUS Files.

Well Darlins', Trader Red is gonna take us on an adventure all the way down to Skyline Valley. This here ain't no ordinary trip...because it's Spooky Season in Appalachia.

Not only is the whole Valley covered in storms and full of weird creatures...not to mention a whole heapin' of secrets of its own...but it's also where we'll find Mischief Night.

An event the likes of which Appalachians haven't seen in years, you'll join Trader Red and the Eyebot JES-SR on a wild ride of explosions, mayhem...and forkin' the lawn at the old Rapidan Camp.

So let's take a trip down south and spread some Spooky Season mischief!

Trader Red is taking her tour to Point Pleasant, to get a peek at the Mothman Cult...but something strange is brewing on the other side of the Ohio River.

In this special episode, our community gets a special preview of one of the largest expansions of Fallout 76 ever.

Come with us as Trader Red embarks into uncharted territory and learn more about what we'll find in "the Burning Springs."
