"Transmissions"

Episode 001: TransmissionsWhat does connection look like right now—how does it begin, how does it last, and how does it change us? In Transmissions, the first episode of The Longwave Home, The Commentator listens in on the signals that move between us: a quiet moment in a diner, voices from a local community, memories that linger long after a conversation ends. Through story, music, and reflection, the episode traces connection as something ordinary and essential—less lightning strike, more steady current.Set in the texture of everyday life, Transmissions explores how we reach one another in the 21st century—not through platforms or devices, but through attention, honesty, and the small choices that keep us human. This opening chapter invites listeners to slow down, listen closely, and recognize the connections already moving through their lives.THE LONGWAVE HOMEPerformed by The Free River Players Composed & Directed by d’Philip ChalmersProduced & Engineered by Griffin RodriguezExecutive Producer Kelly Chalmerswww.dphilip.comhttps://www.dphilip.com/longwave-homeThe Last Rights:“Transmissions” Written & Performed by Robin Scott/M“Opposites Attract” Written & Performed by Maggie Chalmers “Daiquiri” Music & Performance by Maggie Chalmers“US Blues” Music by Jerry Garcia, Lyrics by Robert Hunter, Performed by The Grateful Dead“442” Music & Performed by Flight“Radio” Written & Performed by Beautiful Dudes“Sandwiches of You” Written & Performed by Godly & Crème “Carry the Season” Written & Performance by Wolf Jackson “You’re There” Music and Performed by Maggie Chalmers, Lyrics by d’Philip Other incidental musicComposed & Performed by The d’Philiharmonius OrchstrangeThis episode is dedicated to the people who helped make this story possible…and that includes you, dear listeners, thank you.LEGAL NOTICEAll music, archival recordings, and third-party sound elements appear with permission of their respective copyright holders or are used under the principles of fair use for purposes of commentary, education, criticism, or historical context.All trademarks, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.This production contains original commentary, narrative, and creative material © 2026 d’Philip & The Family Chalmers Consortium.All rights reserved.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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
