Field notes

The setting is mapped through five neighborhoods, each paired with a station color, host, and set of advertisers. The page credits Kevin MacLeod under CC BY 4.0 and names additional music sources under CC BY 2.5 / 3.0. It also links the radio project to OKALAM Studio and a planned brick-breaker game; audio ads, a Discord bot, and a free app are presented as future additions rather than confirmed features.
