The broadcast of the story itself will begin at 4:00 PM MDT, lasting about two hours. It will be streamed at https://tty.nerdology.org:8000/halloween <https://tty.nerdology.org:8008/halloween2021> (note that accessing the link will result in a 404 error until 10 - 15 minutes before the first test message begins).

Because of this, those who have machines equipped with USOS are advised to disable the functionality or use a different machine for the best experience, though the story itself shouldn't be impacted if you can't. This inadequacy is at the top of my list to resolve whenever I am able to work on that list again.
