I'm shocked that I haven't seen anyone point out that Vox can be forcibly silenced against his will and get fully muted, completely losing his voice.

(Ironic since his name means Voice lmfao)

BUT Alastor is unable to be silenced even when his mouth his foribly shut. He can still speak his mind and CANNOT be muted against his will. His voice literally cannot be silenced by others.

Not only is this yet another awesome foil between the two (which is the obvious)

But it also represents that radio is actually STILL most reliable long distance method of communication to this very day (in terms of its failure rate)

For instance, during extreme weather, weather radios are almost always the LAST thing that fails. Typically everything else will fail first. Cell towers can get knocked out easily, especially making phones useless. Power poles and powerlines easily can fail, and when the power goes out it renders most television and desktops useless, and you only have so much battery on your moblie devices.

BUT a weather radio will often STILL be working as normal even after all other methods of communication and warning have been lost. (Not always, but the failure rate during dire times is VERY low compared to literally everything else)

to add on, i feel like radio's resilience parallels how alastor is incredibly persistent when he sets his sight on something.

if he wants his soul back, he gets it back.

he wants his staff fixed, it is fixed by the end of the season.

he wants power, he will perform dozens of rituals to guarantee he is top dog.

he has to make a commercial, he summons a set.

the only times alastor "gives up" is when his life or his sanity is on the line. even then, he quickly recovers and even thrives, using it as motivation for his next scheme.

so, random thing i feel like pointing out about alastor: he has a transatlantic accent. that's a learned accent (meaning nobody naturally speaks it) from new england taught in colleges at the time to make people sound smart. alastor is a POC from Louisiana during segregation.

for him, one of the perks of radio is that no one can see his face or skin colour. however, his voice could still give him away. he has a cajun accent when he speaks french, so it wouldn't be odd to assume he had similar in english.

there's a decent chance he learned to speak like a "white person" to gain popularity.

i made this after season one and it's somehow become more accurate.
