Episode 10 - Past Pursuits
With Rabbit’s whereabouts known, Xander rallies what troops he can to explore the mysterious Vault 96... but who might they encounter along the way? Who knows? And does the party have the skills they need to infiltrate Vault 96, rescue Rabbit, and escape? Meanwhile, Trixie reveals something important that she has learned from the holotape that she and Eddie stole months ago. In an effort to smooth things over between her and Gina, she agrees to share this information with her, Archie, and Robin. Robin, wanting to know more about Archie’s apparent connections to the mysterious Bysshe Corporation, sticks around to learn whatever she can and picks up some very interesting information. Back in the future, in Vault 63, a new threat begins to emerge from the shadows. What are this mysterious man’s intentions, and is he more dangerous than the sinister Mr. Dark?

Episode 9 - We're Hunting Rabbit
A week can be a long time; that’s how long Rabbit has been missing following his surprisingly uneventful apprehension by Eddie Brooks and his mysterious new employers. Worried about the whereabouts of his companion and fearing the worst, Xander embarks on a seemingly fruitless search and seeking the aid of the Five-O New Responders, he meets with Bryce and many others to find whatever leads he can and learns that help comes in unexpected forms. Meanwhile, Gina and Archie are having difficulties of their own. Following his repair, Archie has been experiencing some unexpected malfunctions that lead him and his friends on a chase to uncover secrets of the past. And in a secret, undisclosed location, Rabbit finds himself finally coming to and coming face to face with someone with deeper ties to his past than he’s comfortable with. Who is the mysterious person who ordered his apprehension and what are their plans? --- CAST: Phil Lonidier - Alexander Nash Matt Bartlett - "Rabbit" Andreas Somville - Mr. Dark Lindsay Zana - Gina Rhodes Mike Mathewson - Archie Garry Schafer - Bryce Sanders Arielle Skye - Robin Hardy Brian Vaughn - Eddie Brooks Kelly Danielle - Trixie Mitchell Lea Lawson - Kitt TJ Poulos - Tim Harrold Ray Middelthon - Commander Johns Lucy Middelthon - Kori Anders Dré Ayala - Edgar Blackburn Joel Butler – Danny Miller Derek Marr - Corporal Keyes Michael Morgan - Corporal Dell Pandora Beatrix - Private Weber Kaley Lynn - Erin Baxter Ray O’Hare - Bob Krissi Williams - Belle Caesar “Oddy” Harkness - Raider 1 Crimson Charger - Raider 2 Hosted on Acast.

Special - A Look Back
We’re back! We may have taken a brief break, but we’ve returned with a new SPECIAL for you all. With over ten hours of story already having been told in the form of eight main episodes and two minisodes, we thought that this might be a good time to look back on what’s happened so far. We chose this for two main reasons: to give those of you who have been listening regularly a convenient recap as we move into the latter portion of our first season, and to give those who haven’t listened a good jumping off point if they’d like to start now. Worry not, this isn’t a clip show. This small story sees our Vault Dwellers discussing not only the events that have transpired since Reclamation Day but also sees them discussing a bit of what their lives were like back in Vault 76. Come for the recap and stay for new tidbits of information about the characters. As of this posting, the script for episode 9, titled “We’re Hunting Rabbit,” has been fully written and is being recorded, and the script for episode 10 is over halfway written. We plan to return soon to reveal what’s been happening with our Vault Dwellers since the day that Rabbit was carried off by Eddie Brooks and his mysterious new “employers.” CAST: Phil Lonidier - Alexander Nash Matt Bartlett - "Rabbit" Lindsay Zana - Gina Rhodes Mike Mathewson - Archie Garry Schafer - Bryce Sanders Arielle Skye - Robin Hardy Brian Vaughn - Eddie Brooks Kelly Danielle - Trixie Mitchell Lea Lawson - Kitt TJ Poulos - Tim Harrold Joel Butler – Danny Miller Hosted on Acast.

Minisode 1 - Scrap Iron Chef
Cooking isn't always easy but in the wasteland it requires a certain special something; something Xander clearly lacks. A brief back-and-forth with Archie leads the gang into an unexpected competition joined by some even less expected contestants. This is the first planned "minisode" of Appalachia: A Fallout 76 Story. For this story we take a look at something a bit less serious (but still a bit absurd.) With the holidays having taken center stage last month we wanted to give our cast a bit of a breather, so we have prepared this special story in the meantime. We are currently hard at work with episode 8 and will have that ready for release next month on our regular schedule.
