Your radio station is such a beautiful intersection of innovation + purpose + free will + lifelong passion!! And I do have a new podcast planned for 2026 so I'm sure I'll be in touch.
I had a long running one a few years ago that went well, a daily writing podcast for authors ("Your Daily Writing Habit") that is still on Youtube. I publish a few new episodes per week).
This is such a cool post. This dame feeling of a voice from an unknown location was what made audio storytelling so exciting.
What you describe about radio is the same feeling I get from finding something late at night on TV or cable at 2 am. Something a little warped and strange and awesome because you almost never found it again.
We're in a time now where everything is being rescued and packaged for Blu Ray and streaming, so the mysterious edge is gone.
Congratulations on launching your radio station. Hopefully we'll hear some of the music from DJ Maskstron there soon.
It's wild to think of how the opening sentence to one of the most influential sci-fi novels might not make sense to people below a certain age who don't know of a time of a channel with static and white noise.
One night in the Rockies, a frequency around 8000 KHz.; a part of the spectrum known for its weirdness. Single transmission "Quatro Quatro Quatro" followed by dead air. Don't know who it was, but I know it had to do with something. Been watching the frequency regularly ever since, but have yet to hear anything else.
Broadcast stations are weird in general. Worked briefly for a local UHF TV station back in the late 1990s as a junior station engineer. Station owned by a trust fund kiddie, a gift from dad. Fancied himself the next CNN, but was too much of a cheapskate to make it happen. Fifteen minutes of local news followed by forty-five minutes of infomercials. We had all of two ENG vans to cover 6,000 square miles of territory. It was a hoot when we learned our licensed microwave ENG frequencies were being bootlegged by a law enforcement agency for surveillance, but that's another story.
I think you would like my substack - its so huge though. and my book is 500 pages. We had a similar journey . :) Im tuning in. You can repost anything from my stack you may find. :)
