A Fallout 4 Fan Fiction Audio Drama A father woke up 210 years after the bombs dropped. His wife was murdered. His son was stolen. This is his story.

The Dusty Signal is a Fallout 4 fan fiction audio drama created by one person, Garrick Cline... That's me, a 54 year-old, Army veteran and a longtime Fallout fan. The Dusty Signal is built from scratch when time allows it. I'm a husband, father, grandfather and I work a full-time, labor-intensive job. But I love the Fallout universe and have wanted to tell this story for a long time.

This podcast was created under the Classic Me Studio (my one man creative studio) banner. Voices have been brought to life with ElevenLabs AI technology. Every word is written, produced, and assembled by me. All sound engineering is created by me. This show is made with AI, not by AI..

The use of AI in this audio drama production series is by necessity only. I am only one person.... I have no budget, no big production company backing me, no team of professionals, no connections to voice actors or the ability to pay them. I have me, what little time I have between being a husband, father, grandfather, and full-time employee. I LOVE to create things and this story has lived in my head for many years... AI gives me the tools to bring it to life.

"I use AI for cover art, the Fallout inspired song (Vaulted Heart) used in the series, text to speech models to bring the voices to life, and to help me figure out how to make it all work. I am essentially using AI for my team... I hope to one day build my studio, Classic Me Studio, into an income producing entity that will allow me to shift away from AI and hire real people for the acting roles. Until that time... I'll use AI." - Garrick Cline
