[redhook4]

[Fero631]

@redhook4 Yes. Was originally a Fallout 3 mod - it´s awesome

[MichaelxDavid]

@Darkshade0115

It is, theres a mod for both FO3 and New Vegas that adds it.

[NxakoNecv]

@Darkshade0115 there is a mod that dose that for NV

[KScholefield51]

@Darkshade0115 It is, if you own the PC version, and aren't against mods. ;) Just search fallout mods conelrad, should find it. I have it. It puts another station on your pipboy. I think it has like 30 minutes of authentic conelrad recordings, and a bunch of atomic related music from that age(50s, etc). Fits right in.

@cairne13 That's surprisingly accurate when compared to other transcriptions I've seen using Transcribe Audio. I've seen the word "Wyoming" used in it's transcription of "If I Were A Rich Man".

The main announcer and "Gonzalez" in the Mars sketch is Don Pardo.

Thanks for uploading this.

You know, some of this info is still vital today with regards to food, water, meds, etc.

The 'roll in a ball and cover your head' is so they can find your burnt to a crisp remains in one nice pile.

I wonder what ever happened to those at home bomb shelters, if there where any for the middle class? How many could afford one back then, I doubt my dad could working the line at Fruehauf Trailer or the other kids dads and Ford & GM?

@TelcoPhil

Watch the movie "The Atomic Cafe" -- it's a compilation of US government propaganda films from the 1940s and '50s. It has all the classics, including "Duck and Cover", but my very favorite is a theatrical short assuring men (only -- apparently this wasn't a concern for women) that radiation-induced hair loss would be temporary, and easily covered by a hairpiece if you wanted to bother. (The visual effects strongly implied that it would also look EXACTLY like male-pattern baldness.)

@TelcoPhil My friends found a public one on a trip to Wyoming. Still had food and everything.

[TelcoPhil]

Except for the one time by a mistake from Cheyenne Mountain back in 1971.

Think I was already in military boot camp by then and never heard it.

Do you have more of these?
