Agatha performing her concerto
Agatha's Station is a radio station in Fallout 3 that transmits classical violin music played and recorded by Agatha. It is activated after completing the side-quest Agatha's Song.
Agatha tells the player that the radio station is her way of paying back the traders who come to visit her. The station can be heard anywhere in the Capital Wasteland. Between pieces of music, Agatha sends messages to her listeners, telling them to stay safe and to "...most importantly, stay happy!"
Agatha tells the player that she has prerecorded each session on the radio, which explains why you can hear her playing on the radio even when standing right in front of her. Even if she is killed, her radio transmitter will continue to randomly repeat the songs that she has already completed.

Notes[]
- If you kill Three Dog she makes a small speech about how it is horrible in the Wasteland.
- As well as dedicating songs to various caravan merchants, she also dedicates a song to the Lone Wanderer and her late Husband.
- Agatha pronounces Crazy Wolfgang's name in the traditional German style (as Wolf-gong), even though every other character, himself included, pronounces it in the English fashion (as Wolf-gang). This is most likely due to her education in classical music.
- She will stop mentioning a merchant if they have died, and Lucky Harith is not mentioned in her dedications.
