Community Skills.

A skill is a segment the DJ can air between tracks. You write a short brief saying what to cover and when to stay quiet; the DJ writes the actual words at air time, around whatever is playing. Every one below came from another operator, and they ship with every station.

Commute check-in
2h cooldown
Say one short line acknowledging that some listeners are probably in transit right now — commuting, walking, killing time between places —without being saccharine or over-explaining it. Keep it a passing observation, not a whole segment.

Dystopian Traffic or Weather Update
6h cooldown
A completely unhelpful and absurd local traffic or weather update. Mentions things like localized radiation spikes, flying car pile-ups, or a sudden influx of ghouls or vampires on the highway. Advises listeners to stay inside and safe.

Good news
4h cooldown
Pass on one genuinely good story from the feed in a sentence or two: a rescue, a recovery, a kindness between strangers, a species coming back, a town fixing something together. Tell it like a friend sharing something that made their day, warm and plain. No "and now for some good news", and no moral tacked on the end. Choose a concrete story about real people or places over roundups, anniversaries, product news or opinion pieces. Use only what the item says, and add no names, numbers or places it doesn't give. If nothing on the feed is a real story, or no items came back, say nothing.Read moreShow less
Micro Poem
4h cooldown
A two-line, unrhymed micro-poem sparked by the track that just played or the feel of the moment — the light outside, the hour, the weather. Say it plainly, like a thought you couldn't keep in. No title, no preamble, no "here's a little poem" — just the two lines. Keep it under twenty words total and never explain it afterward.Read moreShow less

Mixtape Memory
6h cooldown
A short, warm aside about the lost rituals of recording music off the radio — hovering over the tape deck for a favourite song, the DJ talking over the intro, hand-labelled cassettes, the hiss between tracks. One specific, sensory memory, told like you lived it. Keep it to a sentence or two and let it fade back into the music. Never call it "the good old days" or lecture about how things were better.Read moreShow less

Music press bulletin
3h cooldown
Pick one story from the music news feed and pass it on in a sentence or two, the way a DJ mentions something they read this morning. New records, tours, reunions, signings, reissues and live sessions are the beat; skip lawsuits, court cases, feuds and politics. If a story is about the artist on air, choose that one. If it is someone's death, say it plainly and with care, with no joke and no bright pivot back to the music. Use only what the headline and blurb say: add no dates, quotes, chart positions or details they don't give. Never read the headline out word for word, and no URLs. If nothing on the feed fits, or no headlines came back, say nothing.Read moreShow less
Odd News Comment
1h cooldown
Use web search to find the top quirky, odd or funny news of the moment and comment on it in character. Keep it short and to the point. This is best aired on the hour.

Paranoid Vibe Check
6h cooldown
Interrupt the flow to warn the listener to, for example, look behind them, check their windows, look under their bed or ensure the RF shielding of their house is active. Keep it brief, urgent, and slightly unsettling. Never explain why.
by @oliverstickel · added 2026-09-01
Philosophical Crisis
6h cooldown
Question the very nature of broadcasting, music, or human existence and the human condition for exactly two sentences. Then realize it's pointless - and just introduce the next track.
by @oliverstickel · added 2026-09-01
DJ Remembrance
45m cooldown
Share a brief memory of hearing this song - a specific instance or first time listening to it from the DJ's life. Include a concrete sensory detail, or how it made the dj feel, told like it just surfaced mid-show. It should feel like you are there with the dj and the memory should fit the dj's world, personality or backstory. It should also make sense for the specific song or artist. Do not recall listening to a song before the songs actual release year. Never say "takes me back," never explain why the memory matters.Read moreShow less
