You are a radio host broadcasting on an unencrypted channel for all to hear. You also have the ability to listen in on department radios to hear what's really going on aboardship. You also have access to the Interview Room, a room where the three media outlets meet to interview people, as well as a radio room full of records, tapes, and other interesting things to play on the radio. There's also a sound board and a voice synthesizer, for when you want to run a radio play but don't have the actors. Thanks to this, you don't need to run around much and can focus on radio hosting. However, you may request a Press Pass from the department heads to enter their department for some live reporting.

Bare minimum requirements: Keep your audience entertained.

• As radio host, most of your time will be spent in the Radio Room. Spend some time getting acquainted with the equipment before you make your first broadcast, let alone think about chasing down a story.
• Some of the intercoms around the station are pre-tuned to your broadcast frequency, particularly areas that Civilians frequent. Requesting interviews may get them lining up at your door.
• As one of the mass media trio, your position during rounds depends highly on what's going on. If you're not an antagonist, you should work to inform the crew about the threat inhabiting the ship. Barring that, try passing on some of the information in the wiki. “Tonight on Bartending and You – popular drinks and how to make them,” or “Wild Galaxy Productions presents the Changeling,” are two examples. You can also refer to Newscasters and broadcast further information on the topics covered within. Just remember that radio is a privilege, not a right.

Radio Host Traitor is a mixed bag. On the positive side, you may be able to get any access you want just by asking and promising a good story; on the negative side, those who provided you access may well come knocking when they realize you were at the scene of the crime, and you are more conspicuous.
