During 1986, Michael Joseph Braun would broadcast a series of his last appearance on the New Vilna Radio, where it could be found in the New Vilna Radio page.

Early life
Michael Joseph Braun was born on April 22nd 1912 in the city of Mazoji in the Kingdom of Crimmitonia, his parents were a noble family which had arrived from the Dominion of St. Ark to Bistonia, as people from the colony had been flowing into South Bistonia at the time. Although not much of his childhood was known, he had ambitions to become a broadcaster.

Early career
Braun's early career began when he was an assistant in Kriadavia Radio in the 1930s after he graduated and moved to the city of Kriadavia, in which he met with a colleague who also had high ambitions to become a broadcaster aswell. They went along with eachother. However, in the 1940s, Braun was forced to flee the city as the Second Great War had broke out and the headquarters of Kriadavia Radio had been set on fire by Crimmitonian troops. Although, after the Second Great War, he returned to his position as an assistant until its dissolvation in the late 1950s.

1960s - 1970s
After Kriadavia Radio disbanded in the late 50s during the Bistonian Conflict, mainly due to the Crimsonian government forcing him to shutdown, Braun later on joined another radio company along with his colleague, who has been friends with Braun over a decade. However, due to the treatment by the radio station, Braun later on left along with his colleague, since they had no decent radio station to work, they eventually settled onto beginning their ambitions to begin a new radio network.

New Vilna Radio
"Main article: New Vilna Radio"In the early 70s, Braun and his colleague both moved to the city of New Vilnius, the capital of Bistonia, to form a radio network called New Vilna Radio, with Braun's colleague being the founder and the owner of the network and Braun being the co-founder and the host for the radio network. Later on, with the help of former colleagues originally from Kriadavia Radio, Braun had enough funds to purchase the headquarters of the network and it began broadcasting in the 70s, and in the early phases of the radio network it had gained popularity across the city of New Vilnius.

After Braun and his colleague managed to secure funds from their broadcasts, Braun's colleague managed to discover a radio network on the brink of ceasing operations and as a result he used the funds to buy all of their remaining radio stations and acquired them by 1971, further increasing the popularity and the influence of the network. Braun's colleague also managed to buy out all of their remaining employees which had made the network function effectively with assistance.

Allegations
Over the years, Mr. Braun's career was overwhelmed by dozens of allegations in which dozens of people had accused him of several things he had committed all throughout his career, although there were dozens, all of these allegations were denied by Mr. Braun and his colleague. Many of his perpetrators were employees from the radio network who had been frustrated over Mr. Braun.

The first allegation regarding Mr. Braun was that was accused of molesting underaged women and sexually harassing many of his female employers, however as Bistonian authorities in New Vilnius began launching an investigation and looked closely into the information given, it was proven false by the authorities and the employees were fired from the radio network for making accusations. Mr. Braun later on denied this claim and had cited that the female employers were deranged people who had done this to gain nationwide attention, and his colleague then also denied the claims and addressed that Mr. Braun would never do such a thing. After his death, this claim was also then reopened and it was later on debunked by authorities.

Another allegation was regarding the scandal he was involved in, however, Bistonian authorities later on then denied that claim and Mr. Braun then addressed it that he was not involved in a scandal, as he mainly preferred broadcasting instead of being involved in money. After his death, this claim was also then reopened and it was later on debunked by authorities.

Illness
After arriving to the headquarters of New Vilna Radio, Mr. Braun had looked tired and said he felt unwell, but he still continued to broadcast. However, after the broadcast, Mr. Braun suddenly collapsed and he was immediately rushed to the hospital, there he was hospitalized for 5 days. After doctors analyzed him, it came to conclusion that Mr. Braun was diagnosed with mesothelioma in the year 1986, and doctors had been unable to find a cure nor find treatment for his illness. As a result, Mr. Braun began being absent for long periods of time and New Vilna Radio also began declining in the years following his diagnosis, as they couldn't find a replacement for him. His illness then began turning worse and as a result Mr. Braun had to give his last desire, to broadcast once again.

Last broadcasts

New Vilna Radio merged with Mazoji FM in mid 1988 and was completely absorbed by the South Bistonian based company after an agreement was signed between Mr. Braun and his unknown manager of the broadcasting company, Mazoji FM eventually over time also began declining and on the verge of ending its operations, completely wiping most of New Vilna Radio's existence.

Death
Mr. Braun later died in 1988 while he was sleeping in a hospital in New Vilnius, during the late stages of the Crimsonian-Bistonian War due to his mesothelioma. Doctors were baffled by his death, as usually mesothelioma patients would occasionally die 12 months after their diagnosis, but compared to Mr. Braun, he had died two years after his diagnosis. After his death, Mr. Braun was placed inside the morgue in the hospital, awaiting one of the family members to pick up his body. However, due to the war, the hospital was destroyed due to the Vilnius Offensive by Crimsonian forces. He was later on buried in the year of 1990 in a tomb constructed near his mansion in Northern Bistonia.
