Overview

Radio Head* is the upbeat shock jock of Radio trUeCAS, Seattle's premier (and only) truly independent broadcasting station; mostly by attrition, because radio is a steadily dying medium. He is a firm believer in sharing the truth with his listeners, whether that truth be unsubstantiated rumors, half-finished audiodrama scripts that random people send in, or just his opinions on recent cultural events.

His most distinctive feature is the fact he has a massive boombox for a head, complete with turntables. It's unclear whether this is just a stylish piece of headgear or a particularly extreme cybermodification, and he's not particualrly inclined to clarify that one for you.

*Not affiliated with any other "radioheads" out there. He's Radio Head, two words, first name Radio, last name Head. So tell your lawyers to keep it in their litigious little lawyer-pants, please.

Aspects Description

Aspect Description
Good Morning, Seattle! Radio Head is no stranger to days-long talk-a-thons, because long haul is a hell of a drug. When you call him up, roll a 1d6 - if the result is higher than your loyalty, you're on air! Hopefully, you're not going to say anything incriminating.
Spin Doctor Radio Head has journalistic integrity - he'll only run stories that he's been paid to believe are true. +2 dicepool on checks to influence public perception. Obviously, there is a huge 'within reason' caveat here.
Sound Technician Radio trUeCAS have a bountiful stock of sound equipment, and Radio Head can absolutely hook you up with his sources. He has a +2 dicepool bonus to network with Gear contacts specialising in consumer electronics.
Let's See What's Behind Door Number Two! Whenever Radio Head succeeds on a networking check, he performs a second networking check free of charge - if both succeed, you have two potential contacts that fit the bill, and can choose the one you'd prefer.
