The Longwave Home is a home frequency in a fractured era — a refuge of story, sound, and human connection broadcasting from the foothills of Northern California.


Part radio album, part community chronicle, part late-night companion, each episode explores a single humanitarian theme and follows it wherever the signal leads: into music, into memory, into conversations with neighbors, into small acts of courage, into the long echo of history, and into the lives we’re all trying to make sense of.


Rooted in Gold Country, but resonating far beyond it, Longwave is built from the voices that live here — the farmers, artists, elders, fire survivors, dreamers, activists, wanderers, and working folk who give this place its pulse. It’s a listener-supported, commercial-free broadcast stitched together from interviews, performance, field recordings, narrative vignettes, archival scraps, and the kind of unexpected moments you can only catch when you’re listening closely.


This is not a podcast.


This is radio the old way — slow, deep, intentional — but made for right now.


It’s a sanctuary carved out of the static, a reminder that we’re still allowed to feel things in full color, and an invitation to sit with stories that might just sit with you in return.


Tune in. Settle in.

Let the signal find you.

  • INNERSTANDING

    INNERSTANDING
    Sep 21 2026
    Innerstanding
    We say “I understand” all the time. But what do we really mean? Is understanding simply knowing the facts? Is it agreement? Experience? Perspective? And what happens when all the information in the world still doesn’t help something make sense?Episode Nine of The Longwave Home explores the curious, complicated and deeply human business of understanding ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

    A final transmission from the far side of memory and imagination. The Longwave Home is a meditative, musical, time-bending journey through the exploration of human virtues, of lived experiences, and the long, strange arc of a life still unfolding.


    Blending memoir, soundscape, humor, loss, discovery, and wonder, each episode sets the tone for the entire Longwave Home experiment — a show about who we’ve been, who we are, and who we’re still becoming.


    Part radio diary, part cinematic essay, part cosmic whisper, it’s the starting point for the waves to come.

  • The Wake of the Flood

    The Wake of the Flood
    Jul 21 2026
    A river floods. A town begins to rebuild.
    In the aftermath, the people of Free River reckon with loss, uncertainty, change, and the stubborn human tendency to carry on. Along the way, we hear from people rebuilding their lives after disaster, recovering from addiction, caring for loved ones, pursuing social change, and facing the ordinary hardships that come with being human.
    Some challenges are personal. Others belong to families, communities, and even nations. Some arrive without warning. Others unfold over years. Yet beneath them all is the same enduring question: What happens after the crisis passes?
    Through stories, conversations, music, and reflection, The Longwave Home explores the many ways people persist, adapt, rebuild, and continue forward.
    How do people keep going after life doesn’t go according to plan?
