Radio Shows

The Radio is considered by many to be one of modern life's greatest technological breakthroughs. By passing electricity to a transmitter through an antenna, invisible waves of energy could carry sound through the air, received by specially attuned, electrically charged crystals hooked up to speakers. It was effectively a large Message spell that could be broadcast worldwide, to anyone, by anyone-- no wizards needed.   Nowadays the radio is the go-to for modern trends and media. News, weather, politics, talk shows, and all sorts of programs are regularly broadcast from towers in the Capital and other major cities. These waves are able to be picked up by anyone with a properly tuned receiver, all across Eterna Province.  

Popular Shows

Current trendy channels riding the airwaves in Eterna include:   Midday Mellowdies
The go-to-favourite for the older generation, this relaxing channel plays classy chamber music all day long. Perfect for those who prefer to leave the radio on as background ambiance for their households.   Gazette On Air
A daily news broadcast covering recent news, events, sports and weather; essentially a radio equivalent of the newspaper designed to cover all of Eterna Province in a more casual tone.   The Legend of Cherry Blade
A historical period drama produced in Inishi Province, Cherry Blade details the life and struggles of a lone samurai searching for his lost love. It's a love-it-or-hate-it show: fans are obsessed with the cheesy, over-the-top drama and incredibly convoluted love dodecahedrons whilst others hate it for the same reason.   Heads and Tales
Hosted by two members of The Orrery, Heads and Tales is supposed to be a show that discusses magical news, arcane literature, monsters, artefacts, and spells. Instead, the hosts are infamous for veering hilariously far off-script in such a consistent daily basis that many who listen to the show are more interested in them rather than their content.   Dillyduck Kaers
A popular music showcase of the latest bards and trends, hosted by an elvish band from New Kaers. Much of their featured bands take inspiration from swing and jazz-- modern musical forms that developed in New Kaers and has exploded in popularity over in Galoria. Many well-known bards and bands today got their popularity kickstarted by their feature on Dillyduck.   Night Flight Chronicles
A radio play adaption of the popular 'science fiction' book series by Kay Mirrorgate, Night Flight is a gripping and serious drama about a group of criminal mercenaries. It is broadcast in the evening, with reruns at night.
Inventor(s)
Assorted inventors, popularity spread by Pepperbox Industries
