About this listen

Sandcastle at High Tide is a podcast dedicated to a novel of the same name, written and narrated by J. J. Pontifex.

New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

A solar storm triggers a global power outage, upending the internet-saturated lifestyle of a group of six flatmates with widely varying personalities and worldviews.


Though initially safe and well-supplied, the group deal with a variety of personal, moral and, eventually, physical crises, caused primarily by underlying social and societal issues. Together these form a time bomb for which the solar storm is the trigger. As ever more fundamental issues surface, their town’s situation deteriorates and the group dynamic shifts repeatedly, all their assumptions are questioned and each of the six faces his own unique challenges and decisions. Can they adapt? Should they even want to do so? The six men have six different answers.
