[LORE MODE ACTIVATED]

The station mostly plays normal music, laced with lots and lots of subliminal messages. It’s not like they’re playing mantras on live public-access radio; the authorities would get suspicious.

Though nefarious in its methods and long-term plans, for the moment the station is mostly just working to spread its influence. The obvious way to do this is by making more people listen more frequently, unaware of the effects. Besides, the more loyal fans the station has, the more money it can rake in on advertising deals and the like, further increasing its resources.

As for the actual effects, there aren’t many permanent ones. The station rewards its listeners with positive reinforcement using subliminals that cause arousal and pleasure. This generally makes them happier and more likely to listen again in the future, as well as recommend the station to others.

Still, there are side effects. While people who listen once or twice won’t be affected, repeat listeners have reported an inability to get certain songs out of their heads, feelings of constant arousal, subconscious whistling, a tendency to doze off, and most notably, a sexual attraction to the voice of the station’s host, even (or perhaps especially) for those normally not attracted to the female sex.

And while there have been few cases so far, people who listen too often and too long may end up addicted to the music, and will do anything to hear more.
