Talking about ghosts ( and other stuff too)

2/7/2026
The lights are low. Tonight, we’re talking ghosts — not just the spooky kind, but the ones that live in dreams, memory… and maybe between worlds. A little intellectual. A little bit of guess work. And some great music too.

Being There (but just where is "there")

6/12/2025
You hear us on the radio. But are we really there? Voices drift through wires and waves—familiar, intimate, maybe even comforting. But who’s really speaking? And who’s really listening? Where are you, exactly? Where am I? In an age where signals cross the lines between what's digital and what actual physical , is presence is a matter of bandwidth, we ask the question technology refuses to answer: What does it mean to be there? Join us on this week’s broadcast as we dive into the soft static of reality, where memory, sound, and silence blur. It’s not just a radio show. It’s a séance of sound. A communion between the real and the imagined. 🕳️ Tune in. Drop out. Try to find yourself.
