Galaxy News Radio



Galaxy News Radio is a remnant of the pre-War Galaxy News Network. In 2277, it is run by DJ Three Dog, who provides commentary on the actions of The Lone Wanderer and plays music from a selection of 20 pre-War songs.

Format
Galaxy News Radio (GNR) splits its time between Wasteland news, survival advice, and Big Band music. Three Dog operates the station as part of the "Good Fight," which he explains is his attempt to tell inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland how "things really are" and the Enclave's true intentions. He also explains that the reason he plays the same few songs over and over is because these are all the records he's been able to locate in playable condition.

As the player advances in the game, they may hear Three Dog report on their exploits, each based on how the player handled a given situation. These are, by and large, related to major quests. For example, if the player disarms the nuke as part of The Power of the Atom, Three Dog will mention this event specifically in a news broadcast. Smaller quests will go unnoticed, such as saving the slaves from Paradise Falls.

Before each quest-related news broadcast, Three Dog will refer to the player by their current Karma level. For example, if the player's current Karma ranking is "Paladin", Three Dog will introduce the player by stating that "A Paladin walks among us children. And no, this ain't one of our buddies from the Brotherhood. I'm talking about the knight in shining Vault suit."

Should Three Dog die, he will be relieved on-air by Margaret, his technician. She is far less glib than Three Dog and will simply play record after record, occasionally breaking in to announce that she's taken over for the normal DJ because he's dead and all she has to play are the records. This ends any sort of news reports for the duration of the game.

Related quests
GNR's initial signal quality is poor; it can barely be heard in Megaton and fades out entirely if one gets any further away. People in Moriarty's Saloon comment on this being a recent development. Gob, in particular, responds by physically hitting the radio in annoyance, and when the player eventually meets Three Dog as part of the main quest line, he explains that his previous antenna was destroyed when a Super Mutant took a shot at it. After the player obtains a replacement antenna dish from the Virgo II lunar lander in the Museum of Technology, the station becomes one of three that can be heard anywhere in the Capital Wasteland (the other two being Enclave Radio and Agatha's Station).

Part 1: Escape From Paradise Falls
Dashwood: (Theme music) You're listening to the adventures of me, Herbert "Daring" Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant, Argyle. Today’s episode: escape from Paradise Falls.

Argyle: So little faith, boss. I could disarm this slaver junk with my eyes closed. One second. (sound of slave collar being unlocked) There! Now for yours. Stand still. (sound of a second collar being unlocked) Dashwood: Argyle, you magnificent bastard, you did it! Argyle: Don’t thank me yet, boss. We still gotta get out of here. Let’s go, while the guard’s away from the front gate. Dashwood: Not so fast, my flesh-rotten friend. That girl we came in with, we’re the only chance she’s got! Come on! Argyle: *sigh* Always with the dames… (sound of running footsteps) Dashwood: All right, she’s locked in there. They call it “the box”. First we need to remove that guard. Argyle: Allow me. (footsteps) Hey, fella, got a light? (surprised grunt from the guard) Lotus… KICK! HYEE! (sound of a kick) Dashwood: Hahaa! Now the door. Argyle: Child’s play, boss. (sound of Fallout shelter door being opened) Okay, lady, you’re rescued. Now let’s get out of - wha? Boss, it’s empty. (sound of gun being cocked) Slaver: Hands up, chumps. Nobody escapes from Paradise Falls. Now let’s move back to the pen nice and slow, before – (sound of gun being cocked) Penelope: Drop the steel, you slaver scumbag! (hard metal clang, then a thud) You boys all right? I busted out of that box and was almost home free when I noticed your predicament. Argyle: Wait a minute! We do the rescuing around here, sister! Dashwood: Now, now, Argyle, no need to be hasty. We owe this lady our thanks, miss…? Penelope: Penelope Chase, fortune hunter. You can buy me a beer later. Now let’s cut this shindig short and get the bloody hell out of here. Come on. Dashwood: Argyle, old friend, I think I’m in love!

Dashwood: (Theme music) Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

Part 2: Super Mutant Mayhem
Dashwood: (Theme music) You’re listening to the adventures of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle. Today’s episode: Super Mutant Mayhem.

Argyle: (gunshots) Heh. That’ll teach those Slaver slimebags to follow us. Looks like that’s the last of them, boss. (footsteps) Dashwood: So, miss Chase, how did you come to be, eh, held up in Paradise Falls? Penelope: My friends call me Penelope. And let’s just say those slavers don’t take too kindly to people disrupting their caravans. And by “disrupt”, I mean “blow up”. Dashwood: Ha! Now that’s what this wasteland needs: some women with spunk and explosives! So tell me, Penelope, what’s the next stop on – Super Mutant: Stupid human! Shut up now! (shotgun being cocked) You come with us now! Argyle: Super Mutants! Penelope: Out of the frying pan… Dashwood: Now see here, you hulking horrors. This young lady has been through quite enough for one day! Holster your weapon or – Penelope: Why is your Ghoul friend picking their pockets? This is no time for sticky fingers, Daring. Dashwood: It’s not what he’s taking out, my dear, but what he’s putting in! Duck and coveeeeeeer! (explosion) Argyle: Heh heh. The old Shady Sands Shuffle. It sure brings me back. You two smoothskins okay? Penelope: My, my, Argyle, you are rather resourceful for a Ghoul, aren’t you? Dashwood: Are you kidding, my dear? Argyle has saved my skin more times than I care to remember. I hardly know how I got by before I met him. Argyle: With all due respect, boss… you didn’t. If you remember, it was me who got you out of that little “situation” in – Dashwood: Ah, now, Argyle, old chum, let’s not, eh, bore the beautiful miss Chase with those ancient exploits. Penelope: Oh, I don’t know, Daring. For example, that name of yours. I happen to like “Herbert”. Why the – (girl screaming) Argyle: Boss! That sounded like a kid screaming! And it’s coming from those ruins! Dashwood: Quite right, old chum! Save those questions, miss Chase. If we survive what happens next I may even answer them.

Dashwood: Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

Part 3: In the Black Widow’s web
Dashwood: You’re listening to the adventures of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle. Today’s episode: In the Black Widow’s web.

Dashwood: (machine gunfire) Well, those Super Mutants are persistent, if nothing else. Word of advice: keep running! Penelope: In those hills up there. Isn’t that where the hidden village of Rockopolis is located? If only we knew where it was… Dashwood: Turns out you’re in good company, miss Chase! Argyle and I are old friends of Rockopolis, know the secret knock and everything! Argyle: Boss! That’s privileged information! You can’t just – Dashwood: Now, now, old chum, miss Chase is hardly going to violate the secrets of Rockopolis, isn’t that right, miss Chase? Besides, necessity calls! Penelope: So you do know where it is. Well come on then, those Super Mutants can’t be far behind. Dashwood: Just over here. This large boulder. And now the secret knock. [knocking] And, voila! (sliding stone) Penelope: Now that’s what I call a getaway, Daring. So tell me, do you take all your girlfriends here? Dashwood: Oh, no, miss Chase, I can assure you this will be our special place. Argyle: Listen to yourself, boss! This is Rockopolis, one of the safest places in the Wasteland, and you just showed a stranger where it is! Dashwood: Ignore my manservant’s mutterings, Penelope. He has a penchant for the dramatic, you see. Why, one time – Penelope: Oh, I don’t know, Daring darling. I find the Ghoul’s instincts to be… frighteningly accurate. Dashwood: Here I thought we were friends. And now you have a gun in my face. Bad form, miss Chase, bad form. Penelope: Jabber all you want. In about thirty seconds my associates from Paradise Falls will join us. Argyle: I knew it! I knew this dame was no good, but it’s worse than I thought: she’s the Black Widow, the leader of the Slavers! Penelope: Quite right. We’ve been trying to capture these Rockopolis rodents for years. Never could have done it without you, Daring. Dashwood: Looks like I’ve gotten us in one heck of a pickle, Argyle, old chum. One heck of a pickle indeed!

Dashwood: Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

Part 4: Between Rockopolis and a hard place
Dashwood: (theme music) You’re listening to the adventures of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle. Today’s episode: Between Rockopolis and a hard place.

Penelope: Just ease away, zombie, no funny business. Argyle: Funny business!? Miss Chase, you hurt my feelings. I mean, there ain’t nothing funny about THE EAGLE CLAAAAW!!! (Penelope screams) Dashwood: Good god, Argyle, you, you ripped out her heart! Argyle: Eh, I always knew this broad was heartless. Get it boss, heh heh, heartless? Dashwood: Your Kung-Fu skills may be unparalleled, old chum, but your comic delivery leaves something to be desired. King Crag: What is the meaning of this? Dashwood: Oh, magnificent king Crag! Fearless leader of Rockopolis, it’s me, Daring! … Daring Dashwood? King Crag: Herbert Dashwood? (groans) I should have known! But who is this… this… dead woman. And, is that her… heart!? Argyle: She’s the least of your worries, Craggy. In a few seconds, the slavers are gonna be breaking down your rocky front door! King Crag: Slavers!? You led the slavers HERE, to Rockopolis!? You idiots, do you realize what you’ve done!? Dashwood: Inspired you to tighten your defenses? King Crag: DASHWOOOOOOD!! Argyle: Our welcome’s over, boss, time to scram! King Crag: Citizens of Rockopolis, destroy these interlopers. Dashwood: This way, Argyle, into the caves, it’s our only chance! (running footsteps) Argyle: They’re gaining on us, boss. That cliff up ahead, you think you can jump it? You ain’t as spry as you used to be. Dashwood: Child’s play, you withering worry-wood. Watch this! (Dashwood screams) Argyle: Boss, don’t worry, I’m coming! Dashwood: Best hurry, old chum, I can’t hang on… much… longer. I… think this could be the end of –

News Reports



 * "Tensions continue to mount between the courageous forces of the Brotherhood of Steel and their estranged brethren: the Outcasts. Now, normally, family squabbles are none of my business...but when the Outcasts decide to take potshots at my building—which the Brotherhood uses as an outpost—I make an exception. So, Brotherhood Outcasts, knock it off! I prefer not to get murdered in my own backyard. The rest of you Brotherhood cats, can't you extend an olive branch or something? You'd think fighting the Super Mutants would be enough." — Reporting about sporadic attacks on his building
 * "All right, Three Dog has heard about some crazy things going on out there in the Capital Wasteland, but this one just might beat them all. I've been getting some scattered reports that a couple of costumed kooks have been battling for control of the settlement called Canterbury Commons. One of these wackos seems to be assisted by robots, and the other by mutated bugs. Every day, it's seems to be the same nutty scene: with the scuffles ending in a stalemate. So if your travels take you to Canterbury Commons, keep your head down and your assault rifle loaded for crazy." - before completing The Superhuman Gambit
 * "A big thank you goes out to the mysterious traveler from Vault 101, for saving the little town of Canterbury Commons. From who, you ask? A couple of self-obsessed super psychos called... the AntAgonizer and the Mechanist! Hey, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. In any event, the super silly situation's been dealt with, Canterbury Commons is safe, and 101 is the man/woman of the hour." - complete The Superhuman Gambit
 * "God knows why, but the kid from Vault 101 is scouring the Capital Wasteland for a unique brand of Nuka-Cola. It's called Nuka-Cola Quantum, and I believe it was made in limited quantities before the war. I've also heard it tastes like Radscorpion shit and turns your piss blue. Or does it taste like Radscorpion piss and turn your shit blue? Whatever. Hey, wouldn't you know it, the Lone Wanderer is done collecting bottles of soda. Christ, talk about your slow news days..." - The Nuka-Cola Challenge
 * "People of the Capital Wasteland, you can HEAR MEEEE!!!! Yeeeaa haaaa!!! You can't stop the signal, baby! That's right, from Megaton to Girdershade, Paradise Falls to the Republic of Dave, we are coming to you loud and proud, in a special live report! But Three Dog! You're in that cool radio studio in D.C. How do YOU know I can hear you, all the way out here in the ass end of nowhere? Because of the kid from Vault 101, that's how! That cat/gal actually managed to repair our antenna relay. How's that for ingenuity, folks? From here on in, it's bye-bye stupid static, hello magnificent music. So sit back, relax, and absorb these classic tunes. Kid, you get your ass back to GNR, you hear me? We've got some stuff to talk about!" - Galaxy News Radio
 * "Grab your hankies, children, cause I've got a heart-warming tale to tell. It's about a little boy/girl's search for his/her... for his/her daddy. Waaaahh! You see, the kid from Vault 101 has been looking for his/her dad, a very nice man named James, who left his son/daughter behind in the vault when he took off. What kind of dad leaves his kid in an underground bunker? Children, I just don't know. It ain't for Three Dog to judge, and you shouldn't either. But none of that matters now! Father and son/daughter were spotted walkin' and talkin' together out there in the Wastes. Here's hoping they can hold onto each other this time around." - After completing Tranquility Lane but before The Waters of Life
 * "The kid from Vault 101, aka the Wanderer, has been spotted poking around some caves way out west. Makes perfect sense to me. The kid's had enough of the wild and wooly Wasteland, and is looking for another old vault to crawl into. Good luck with that, my friend. Only thing been seen out in those parts is Yao Guai, Super Mutants, and some crazy mountain kids." - Finding the Garden of Eden
 * "Tinfoil hat time, children. My eyes and ears tell me the Big Bad Government has taken over that big machine thingy at the Jefferson Memorial. You heard it here first, my friends - the Enclave is on the scene. I've got reports of flying ships and shock troops in high-tech power armor. And, when the Man showed up, a bunch of scientists went running. With them was Rivet City's own Dr. Madison Li, and that crazy kid from Vault 101. They're safe and sound now at the Citadel. Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! No sign of the kid's father, though. Here's hoping James is okay. Well, boys and girls, what can I say. Looks like President Eden wasn't completely full of shit after all. Methinks we are screwed..." - The Waters of Life
 * "The master/mistress of adventure himself, that rough and tumble lad/lass from Vault 101, has really outdone himself/herself this time. The kid has recovered one of this country's most important historical artifacts -- the Declaration of Independence. Huzzah! The time of British oppression is finally over! Now we can finally turn our attention to the Super Mutants, Raiders, and Radscorpions..." - Stealing Independence
 * "Looks like that loony lad/lass from Vault 101's been busy lately, this time systematically executing some of the Wasteland's most colorful characters. What's the deal, 101? You killin' for kicks, or is this a paying gig? Maybe I'll just ask around Underworld, hmmm? Cause a little irradiated birdy told me you've been spending some serious time down in Ghoulville... - You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head
 * "According to reports from the ever so hoity toity Tenpenny Tower, a group of displaced Ghouls have been trying to gain entrance. Ah, but lush at large Allistair Tenpenny says, No zombies, no how! Come on, Al, cut the Ghoulies a break. If they've got the caps and you've got the space, it's a win-win, right? Whadaya say?" - Before completing Tenpenny Tower
 * "Who says you can't go home again, huh? The kid from Vault 101 did, but it looks like the prodigal son's/daughter's return didn't last all that long. He/She was seen coming out of the vault, again, and headed God knows where. Don't let that revolving door hit you on the ass on the way out... - Trouble on the Homefront
 * "Here's a question for all you faithful listeners. Have you guys and gals ever seen...a tree? No, no, no! Not those shriveled-up black things! I'm talking real trees: brown bark, green leaves, photosynthesis, all that good stuff. Now what if I, the all-powerful Three Dog—bow wow wow—were to tell you that somewhere right here in the Capital Wasteland is a place with lots of trees? A veritable Oasis of green in that depressing sea of brown? Look, it was years ago—and I may have been experimenting with Jet at the time—but I'm telling you; it's out there." — before completing Oasis
 * "Okay, it seems the settlement of Grayditch has gone quiet. Residents haven't come out to trade with the caravaners, and attempts to make contact have been met with silence. So if you're out by Grayditch, you may wanna pop in and see what's what." — before completing Those!
 * "I've gotten word that a band of mercs called Reilly's Rangers were trapped on a DC rooftop, pinned down by Super Mutants. It would seem that a brave soldier named Theo was lost in the line of duty... but some of the others have been rescued. Do I suspect some Vault Dweller intervention on this one? I certainly do. Good work, 101." - Complete Reilly's Rangers successfully.

The bothersome bumblebee looks suspiciously like a certain kid, from a certain vault... You heard it here first, faithful listeners. The Wanderer showed up at slaver central and bad guys started dropping left and right. Did they sell her/him a bum slave and then refuse the refund, or was it some elaborate rescue operation? But more importantly - does it even matter worth a damn? Slavers are dead, slaves are free. That's a win-win if you ask me, children. - Complete Rescue from Paradise by killing all the slavers.
 * "Got some great news out of the town of Megaton. Turns out that live atomic bomb in the town's center has finally been deep-sixed for good. The town's sheriff, one Lucas Simms, commissioned the one, the only Lone Wanderer from Vault 101 to disarm the nasty nuke, and the kid delivered. Hey, nice work, 101. Next time you're in the neighborhood, pop into the studio. Ol' Three Dog's toaster's been on the fritz..." - Complete The Power of the Atom by disarming Megaton's atomic bomb

My contacts report that he/she recently went on a highly dangerous excursion to recover -drum roll please- a violin. Oh, but not just any ol' violin, children... We're talking Stradivarius here. That's one top o' the line fiddle, you dig? Here's the best part. The violin was for an old woman named Agatha, who has taken to the airwaves herself to share some truly beautiful music. Agatha, we love ya. Keep playin', sister. And Vault kid? You've helped make the Capital Wasteland a better place. Hats off, my friend." - Complete Agatha's Song by returning the Stradivarius to Agatha

 * "This, faithful listeners, is the story of a little boy. A little boy... named Bryan Wilks. You see, Bryan's from Grayditch, a small settlement that was recently overrun with overzealous Giant Ants. Bryan, sadly, was the sole survivor. That's where the kid from Vault 101 comes in, and where our story, thankfully, gets better. You see, not only did Mister/Miss Vault 101 stop the Ant problem, he also found little Bryan Wilks a new home. So if you see Bryan and his new parents, wish them all good luck. Oh, and 101? Nice work." - Complete Those! by finding a place for Bryan Wilks to stay
 * "Looks like our friend from Vault 101 has turned amateur abolitionist, lending a hand to the folks at the Temple of the Union. Is the tide finally turning for those scumbag Slavers? Lordy knows it's been open season on defenseless settlers long enough. So if you're a slave on the run, the time for lying low is long gone. Head to the Temple of the Union and keep your head held high. Slavers of the Capital Wasteland, consider this the big fuck you you've had coming since starting this scurrilous skin trade. And special thanks to 101, for kicking the bad guys where it counts: their wallets. If you happen to make it down to the Mall, you just may notice that a previously decapitated statue has had an unexpected reunion... with it's head.

We're with you all the way!" - Complete The American Dream with good karma and without killing President Eden

The Enclave's not-so-secret base way up in the northwest just went kablooey! And I have reports, damn good ones, that Eden didn't make it out alive! Sure enough, the Enclave radio station is officially offline. Hell, check for yourself if you don't believe me! And if that weren't good enough news, word is our old friend from Vault 101 made it out of there in one piece. Keep fighting the good fight, kid! We're with you all the way! In other news, the Brotherhood of Steel has amassed a large assault force at the Citadel. Time for a showdown with the remaining Enclave forces at the Jefferson Memorial? You keep listening, children, and GNR will keep you posted!" - Complete The American Dream with good karma and convince President Eden to self-destruct himself and the base.

You see, Mister Vault 101 may have stopped the Ant problem, but he couldn't be bothered to help poor little Bryan. Noooo. But, what did he do with the boy, Three Dog? Where's Bryan Wilks now? I'll tell you where Bryan Wilks is. That little boy is stuck in a fucking box, that's where! Good God, 101, have you no conscience? You left the kid to rot in that fallout shelter. I have witnesses!

It's been no secret that the pre-war nuke in the center of town had a live atomic core, and under the wrong conditions, could still go kaboom. But it was all just a tragic accident, right? Don't you believe that for a second, folks. Word is that twisted old land grabber Allistair Tenpenny, founder of the posh Tenpenny Tower, has been looking to secure that spot for years.

That's one top o' the line fiddle, you dig? Now here's where the story gets sketchy, in true Capital Wasteland style. The kid THEN delivered the violin to some old lady, who shortly thereafter was found stone cold dead AND violinless. Should we suspect foul play? Damn straight. And you're Suspect Numero Uno, vault asshole." - Kill Agatha after completing Agatha's Song
 * "Trouble, oh we got trouble, right here in Rivet City! Looks like trusted resident and head of security Harkness has unexpectedly flown the coop. Could this have something to do with Mister/Miss Vault 101 playing junior gumshoe lately, interrogating everyone about a fugitive from the Commonwealth?" - Complete The Replicated Man by siding with Zimmer
 * "Looks like Rivet City's latest visitor, a certain Zimmer from the scientifically superior Commonwealth, has finally packed his bags and headed home. Weird thing is, trusted Rivet City resident and head of security Harkness has abandoned his life here in the Capital Wasteland... and gone with him. A case of unrequited middle-aged romance, or some kind of spontaneously beneficial business arrangement? I'd ask the kid from 101, but I hear he's busy oogling some newly obtained piece of shiny Commonwealth technology. Quite a 'coinc-o-dink', that..." - Complete The Replicated Man by convince Harkness to go with Zimmer
 * "Now, I've got new reports from the settlement known as Big Town. Somethin' about Super Mutants takin' residents prisoner... All I know is the kid could have helped, and didn't. Nice going, asshole. - Complete Big Trouble in Big Town by leaving the town to die
 * "We've been getting reports of a raging sustained fire somewhere up north. 'Yeah yeah, so what?' Well, here's what. Point one: the kid from Vault 101 was seen in that area just before the fire. Point two: the smoke and smell from this thing don't match your typical chemical burn; reports are this smells like burning...wood. You heard it here, first, children: a forest fire in the Capital Wasteland, where all the trees were already burnt to a crisp 200 years ago. Only you, 101...only you." — Complete Oasis by burning Harold
 * "This, faithful listeners, is the story of a little boy. A little boy... named Bryan Wilks. You see, Bryan's from Grayditch, a small settlement that was recently overrun with overzealous Giant Ants. Bryan, sadly, was the sole survivor. That's where the kid from Vault 101 comes in, and where our story, unfortunately, gets even worse. You see, Mister Vault 101 may have stopped the Ant problem, but he couldn't be bothered to help poor little Bryan. Noooo. But, what did he do with the boy, Three Dog? Where's Bryan Wilks now? I'll tell you where Bryan Wilks is. He's at fucking Paradise Falls, that's where! Oh, you heard me right! 101, a little defenseless boy begged you for help, and what did you do? You SOLD HIM AS A FUCKING SLAVE! Shame, shame, shame on you... - Complete Those! by selling Bryan Wilks as a slave
 * "Are you a worthless piece of human trash who'd like nothing better than to own another human being? Are you sick enough to think slavery is the best thing to happen to the Capital Wasteland since broiled Mirelurk Cakes? Well you're in luck! Human bondage is here to stay, folks, thanks to that asshole from Vault 101 and his Slaver amigos. One small step backwards for man, one giant evolutionary rewind for mankind.... - Complete Head of State by helping the slavers
 * "I'm coming to you live with a special report! We haven't heard squat about the little prick/bitch from Vault 101 for two weeks, and hoped to God someone finally put a bullet in his/her brain. Well no such luck. He/she was seen not too long ago walking away from the Enclave's not-so-secret base way out to the northwest. Well that's...that's just great. The Vault kid from hell is now in cahoots with the devil himself. If Eden declares this kid vice president, I swear to God I'll swallow this microphone." - Complete The American Dream with evil karma and without killing President Eden
 * "I'm coming to you live with a special report! Ding, dong, the sanctimonious, self-righteous, self-proclaimed Presidential asshole is dead! The Enclave's not-so-secret base way up in the northwest just went kablooey! And I have reports, damn good ones, that Eden didn't make it out alive! Sure enough, the Enclave radio station is officially offline. Hell, check for yourself if you don't believe me! Now here's the bad news. Unfortunately, the little prick/bitch from Vault 101 managed to crawl out before the place went kaboom. Can't have everything, I guess. In other news, the Brotherhood of Steel has amassed a large assault force at the Citadel. Time for a showdown with the remaining Enclave forces at the Jefferson Memorial? You keep listening, children, and GNR will keep you posted!" - Complete The American Dream with bad karma and convince President Eden to self-destruct himself and the base.

Broadcast errors
Skipping and Loop
 * After Three Dog starts giving news updates involving the player's actions, he will stop announcing the songs he will be playing. (3rd party fixes available)
 * This problem may repair itself if ever the station is removed from your radio listing. For instance, visiting Point Lookout and returning to the Capital Wasteland can potentially cause Three Dog to begin announcing songs again. (Unconfirmed PC)
 * Three Dog may mention the player's title but fail to deliver any quest-related news, skipping straight to generic news - e.g., if the player's rank is "Ranger of the Wastes", Three Dog will mention the "ranger of the Wastes", but instead of following this statement with a quest-related news segment, he'll instead skip to saying "This is Three Dog with a bit of news!" and deliver a generic news piece. (confirmed on PC, due to patch 1.5)
 * Occasionally, if you haven't completed any quests and reached a level beyond 2 with good or bad karma, Three Dog will get stuck on a news announcement loop (announcing that he has news several times in a row without actually delivering any). (Confirmed on X-box 360 and PS3)
 * If you hang out around the Megaton Ruins after blowing Megaton up, Three Dog will repeatedly say that he has news and announce himself, yet not give any news, eventually playing an episode of The Adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood or some songs. This might even happen if you don't blow it up.
 * Three Dog will say he's going to play music and then will go straight into talking about the player (found on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC)
 * Three Dog may stop broadcasting news stories about the player after the player reaches Level 20, but changing your karma might make him broadcast them again. Downloading Broken Steel and increasing your level past 20 can also help. (3rd party fixes available)
 * Three Dog may stop broadcasting quest-related news even before the player reaches Level 20. The trigger for this may be either installing the satellite dish on the Washington Monument, or reloading the game after a crash to desktop. This can probably be solved by changing your karma level.
 * Three dog impersonating President Eden, without saying the Ha ha, gotcha! Three Dog here joke.
 * Sometimes after the 'Waters of Life' quest he will mention of Dr. Li escaping and then refer to James as 'the boy's father' regardless of the players gender.
 * Any way that a female Wanderer ends Trouble on the Homefront is cut off mid-broadcast. He starts with the The prodigal daughter's return didn't last all that long..., and immediatly skips to a PSA.

Premonition
 * If you download the Broken Steel DLC prior to completing the main quest, Three Dog may begin broadcasting messages that refer to you having completed the quest (such as driving the Enclave out of the Jefferson Memorial) (3rd party fixes available)
 * After the Enclave arrives at the end of Waters of Life, Three Dog will stop mentioning news stories about the player. He will continue to announce the arrival of the Enclave, give public service announcements, and give news updates on the status of The Wasteland
 * Prior to actually completing Take It Back!, Three Dog will give a long report on how Project Purity was founded by James, and then finally brought into operation by the Lone Wanderer. He will continue to talk about how the Brotherhood of Steel is working with Rivet City Security to push the water out through the caravans. This report was obviously meant to be announced once the player completed Take It Back! This is apparently caused by installing the Broken Steel expansion.

Misinformed
 * He will keep repeating the story of you leaving Bryan Wilks in Grayditch if you chose to not find a home for him, even after you complete many quests after it.
 * There is an incident where he will also report about problems in Grayditch and then tell the story of you saving Grayditch. This might happen if you solved the quest without talking to Bryan Wilks first.
 * There seems to be a glitch where Three-Dog might refer to you as the opposite sex, claiming that "You, girl, are truly a paradigm of humanity" for a male character with neutral karma. (3rd party fix available)
 * Three Dog will refer to a level 17 bad-karma character as a Harbinger of War rather than a Fiend.
 * In the quest You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head even if you opt to just take the keys non violently Three-Dog will still announce it like you killed them. This could be a result of lying to Crowley, however, as the rumor may have reached Three Dog that they were actually dead.
 * For many quests with multiple possible solutions/outcomes, Three Dog may report the wrong one.

Behind the scenes

 * The Galaxy News logo appears originally in the introductory movie for Fallout. The popularity of Fallout, along with the distinctive style of the logo, led to the logo's adaptation into the brand symbol for Interplay, the original publisher of the game.


 * The radio broadcast featuring the adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood is a reference to the 1930s radio program The Green Hornet featuring masked vigilante Britt Raid fighting crime with the help of his faithful manservant Kato. The program has subsequently been converted to films and a television series the latter of which featured martial arts superstar Bruce Lee. Lee's performance in the series often overshadowed Raid's; a fact that is parodied in the GNR broadcast.
 * Right after the Lone Wanderer fixes the antenna at the Washington Monument, Three Dog will announce, "You can't stop the signal", a line from Joss Whedon's Serenity.

Bugs

 * With the Broken Steel add-on Three Dog will air messages on the radio about the Brotherhood defeating the Enclave at the Purifier and pure water being available to everyone regardless if you have made it to that point in the game or not.
 * With the Broken Steel add-on downloaded/installed with the 1.5 Patch, there is a chance that the radio station may disappear from the station list in your Pip-Boy. Same will happen with the Enclave station, even after Raven Rock is destroyed. Radios in the Wasteland will also refuse to play any sort of music, only the light on the panel denoting that it's even on at all.
 * Sometimes, after the installation of Broken Steel, no radio in the Capital Wasteland (including your Pip-Boy) will play the Galaxy News radio station, not even static, it's completely silent no matter how close to GNR you actually are. This changes however after replacing the dish on top of the Washington Monument where the radio will begin playing normally again. (1.6 patch)
 * You may sometimes hear Three Dog say an introduction twice, or saying something that he normally wouldn't say according to the previous sentence. This is probably due to some mishaps while locating the sound files for Three Dog. This isn't any serious issue to the gameplay, and may even sometimes be rather hilarious, hearing him contradict himself.
 * In the Spanish version of the game "The Adventures of Herbert 'Daring' Dashwood" audio files are, almost entirely, in French. Some sentences will be in Spanish.
