LISTEN UP!

The Longwave Home

More than frequency.

something other than a just any station.

NOT a podcast…

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.

This website will host the episodes the day after they drop and will be listener supported (just like the old CPB/PBS once was, remember?); we do not advertise, have no commercials and we believe “freedom of the press” should be free, not behind a paywall.
