Ambient Bob & Nuka Jackson
"Hope is our most valuable resource"
The charismatic hosts of Portland Free People's Radio (PFPR) are a pair of anti-authoritarian gentlemen who claim to be the voice of Cascadia's underclass. They broadcast the truth about what's going on in the world, whether or not the powers at be want to hear it. This has made them enemies of damn near every powerful group in Portland, especially General Horn and his Guardians whom they haven't a shred of love for. Nevertheless PFPR has been an integral part of Portland's culture for years, with people regularly tuning in day after day from every walk of life. Everybody needs something to give them a little hope, and for many PFPR gives just that.
Ambient Bob is the real voice of PFPR and the station's resident DJ. He's there with a cup of coffee and some Martin Purvis every morning, and he's there to tuck the people of Portland in with a little Marty Robins each night. It's his foul mouth that the people come to hear, even if he insists that he's only half of PFPR. Nuka Jackson makes up the quiet, stoic other half of the station's host duo. While he rarely gets on the mic himself he is no less integral to its existence, working as the hands-on mechanic of the station and the guy with the know-how to keep the place running and the tunes playing.
When the Stonehenge Radio Broadcast Station was sacked by the super mutant horde in early August, PFPR was knocked off the radio. Thankfully its hosts survived the assault thanks to the help of group of outsiders they'd been interviewing at the time, so the future of PFPR isn't as bleak as it could be. Portland is a duller place without it, and the pair would do anything to ensure that they can keep preaching the truth to those who need to hear it.
Thankfully the voice of the free people was returned to the airwaves not long after being taken down. The Greasers headquarters of the Corvega factory now hosts the rockin' rollin' tunes of PFPR and its hosts thanks to the intervention of those outsiders from down south.
