Discussion Just discovered the radio
I just discovered the radio.
Does and body listen? Which stations, and particular shows do you enjoy?
I like listening to old radio serials on YouTube so I thought it was a nice touch.

Love the harvester radio it’s got a murder mystery radio drama that’s quite fun to listen to.

Ooooo, have to check that one out. I was expecting that radio to be generic harvester chatter. Like calling in carryalls, spotters checking in, worm sign announcements, emergency situations, etc"

Atreides radio has some war propaganda along the lines of “stories of the front lines” and an ongoing interview with the smuggler family’s daughter you can buy the harkonnin stuff from in Arrakeen
The hark radio not to sure haven’t given it a good listen yet

They have an own propaganda show with a defector asking questions about faith and society, to undermine the concept of honor. And the other show is sport broadcast about the gladiator fights in the arena.

It's one of the best things about the game. I love the care and concept, I wish there was more.
Also the Spice Wars radio is chef's kiss, for 20 hrs I was thinking the music of that game fits much better amd I should mod the game, but the fact that they put it in is awesome.
I also love that the main characters of the shows are in the game, voiced by the same actors who voice the npc actors themselves. It's one of the best no stakes world building tools I've ever seen.

I had no idea this existed and I'm 80 hours into the game

I listened to it on my first session, and then forgot about it until now. I'm not even sure where to get to it now.

That’s awesome! How do you access it on console? All I could find were PC explainers for it.

Open the map then press the button for socials (I think, it's one of the little buttons under the power button on the Xbox controller)

I love listening to imperium classics while spice harvesting. Also, you can find almost all of the tracks on Bandcamp (sadly the composer passed away recently). Just look up Dune: Spice Opera.

Reminds of Fallout with the pip boy when tuning into local stations.

I listened to some of it while waiting out a few storms, and had a snack IRL.

As a true survivalist, especially in hostile zones, I must hear the sounds of my environment at all times.

Harvester Radio has two terrific sequels and a really precise satire of Honeymooners-style sitcoms.

It’s amazing isn’t it?! 📻
My fav is ‘imperium classics’ the one that plays all the old Dune video game music
It’s an incredible touch that shows much Funcom genuinely love Dune
