| A Talk Wireless program broadcasts the fact that [[Gaius Baltar]] is to become the [[Quorum of Twelve]] representative for {{RDM|Caprica}}. Baltar himself takes a dim view to the medium, calling it an excuse for "low-brow rabble-rousing" {{TRS|Colonial Day}}. Other large events broadcast throughout the Fleet include the [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|presidential election]] and [[Crossroads, Part I|Baltar's trial]].
| | Baltar views the show as an excuse for "low-brow rabble-rousing". ([[Colonial Day]]) |

| * The term is a parallel of [[w:Talk Radio|talk radio]].
| |
| * In ''[[Battlestar Galactica 4]]'', [[Sharon Valerii (alternate)|Sharon Valerii]] notes that the antebellum [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Centurions]] communicate to each other via "talk wireless". However, her usage of the term in the comic corresponds more to "[[wireless]]" itself rather than the genre.
