      Lazlow Jones (the writer/voice of the radio stations) and Dan Houser (Co-founder of Rockstar) left the company to work on an AI Satire venture.

      A tech bro radio station, filled to the brim with AI songs actually sounds like a very GTA thing to do.

    I was so upset the other day, I went onto Spotify and looked up GTA San Andreas radio, and hit shuffle. This is a playlist I’ve used for a while that was always accurate to the original game, but sometime seemingly recently someone added songs that absolutely weren’t on the original playlist, things like dua lipa. The playlist had been infected with like 8 songs, mostly from 2019. Shit was beyond disappointing, but that’s what I get for using Spotify.

      You could look up the songs used in San Andreas and put together your own Playlist. Fix the injustice in the world and all that.

    I don’t think there will ever be another game with a soundtrack as good as Vice City.

    How do you like to eat your rusty browns ring donuts?

    Some of the radios in vice city were so funny. I still listen to them today at work

    The only music station I listen to is one run by the students in a liberal art college near me, on a good day it has a range of something like 10 miles. There is almost no talking except station ID notices and everything they play is music I like.

    I’m a 50 year old goat farmer with “scene girl” taste in music.

    That’s because the ads on GTA radio are just comedy bits. If ads on real radio were just clips of standup comedians, I wouldn’t complain about 'em. 🤷‍♂️

    Also, is the DJ David Cross voices for KULT FM the same character he voices in San Andreas? 🤔

      My main radio station I listen to is publicly funded so there’s no ads. It does however have a show with 2 comedians doing social and political commentary with deadpan delivery. Sadly just one episode per week.

      There’s also a hangover show with other comedians but I don’t find it as funny recently. Greatest hits include things like a morning exercise routine that concludes with moving yourself just enough to grab a beverage and resume drinking.

          Nope, different country. Unfortunately, the show is in Estonian so unless you speak it, I don’t think it’ll make any sense to you.

      All the stations are such over the top parodies. Real world people saying dumb shit isn’t funny, it’s sad.

      Unless they were all by annoying hacks 😉
