What genre(s) make up the music on the radio? Can I suggest tracks?
Because Foxhole takes place in a fictional world inspired by the aesthetic of the World Wars, the general music is popular music you would hear in the US, UK, and Canada during the 1930s and 40s. These two major genres are:
Pop songs from artists like The Andrew Sisters, Vera Lynn, Nat King Cole, and Gracie Fields.
Big band jazz from artists like Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Duke Ellington.
Songs outside of these genres, even from the same time period, are not considered our mainstay, but may be considered for specialty shows.

What are specialty shows?
Specialty shows are pre-recorded, music-centric blocks of time on the radio. They cater to specific genres within the general aesthetic of the radio (so no dubstep, anime themes, or classic rock, unfortunately). For a schedule of all specialty shows, please see the Radio page.
Why don't you use a better audio player for the radio than Twitch?
Why don't you use a better audio player for the radio than Twitch?
Twitch was chosen as a platform for PressCorps Radio for the following reasons:
Twitch is intrinsically linked to gaming, and allows people to naturally find us.
Twitch is well known, compared to other audio streaming websites.
Twitch allows for better collaboration with other Foxhole streamers (raiding, mentions, "Foxhole" game category, etc), including SiegeCamp.
Twitch allows you to easily highlight streams from a broadcast and download them, which is very helpful when streams last for days at a time.
Twitch is free for users.
Twitch provides a visual element, which we acknowledge is ironic considering we’re supposed to be a radio station.
Over time however, having things like the talking heads, date/time, chatbox, etc have become mainstay features to our programming.
As we said in one PSA: “Twitch - the best option we had!”
What about music from the Fallout games?
What about music from the Fallout games?
While songs like "Butcher Pete", "Civilization", and of course "I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" and their performers would fit within our set parameters, many of these songs have become iconic to the point where they've become too attached to those games. Now, whenever someone hears The Ink Spots, they'll immediately think of Fallout, which takes you out of the Foxhole experience.
We also noticed many online radio stations are centered around music from the Fallout games, so it was an overdone schtick.
