There's not much to this idea really. You know that radio station in the debris field Z-level? Why not add a gimmick job related to it that allows you to host your own silly radio program, whatever that may be.

Thoughts?

I don't see why not. Just have them spawn there when they join.

This is not a bad idea at all.

I think this is a great idea. Honestly don't know why it was not added when the radio station was.

Wouldn't an AI with a very talkative player more or less cover all the interactions that the 'radio host' would have with the rest of the crew?

Reading that is a bannable offense here.

The radio host doesn't have to open doors.
He also doesn't have to follow bullshit orders or get a "shut up" law that makes his entire round worthless

Hold on i just got a shitty idea have 2 people spawn in to be the radio hosts and have them do a statler and waldorf style heckling/commentry of all the crazy bullshit on the station think about it.

Staler: say looks like the clowns dead Waldorf: good its great to see a murderer pay for his crimes Statler: really who'd he kill Waldorf: Comedy Both: Dohohohoho

It'd probably be helpful if there was a camera monitor in there, so someone could keep their eyes on the station while doing radio stuff
