The Faire of Fairness

In Episode Five of The Longwave Home, we step right up to the one and only Faire of Fairness as it rolls into Free River for a strange and reflective evening examining one of humanity’s oldest and slipperiest questions: What is fairness, anyway?Through carnival tents, community voices, quiet confessions, and unsettling realizations, this transmission explores fairness in money, power, relationships, morality, health, luck, and the systems we build to make sense of them all. Along the way, listeners from across Nevada County weigh in with their own experiences, contradictions, and hard-earned truths.Some fairness can be shaped. Some may never be fully understood. And some may not exist at all.Fair enough?The Dedication:This episode is dedicated to our sons, Cassidy and Julian… both navigating unfair roads of their own right now… yet still carrying the family banner:Til Death, We Do Art.Keep yer dobber up, boys… we look forward to welcoming you home again soon.The End Credits The Faire of Fairness wasPerformed by The Free River Players Composed & Directed by d’Philip Produced and Engineered by Griffin Rodriguez Additional Engineering & Production byPhineas Taylor (and his dog Barnum)Executive Producers Kelly & Maggie Created in The Guedenoff Audio Labat The Casa degli Alberi, Grass Valley California Music Included:“Unsquare Dance” composed & performed by Dave Brubeck and his Quartet.“Burning Coal” composed by Les McCann and his Quartet "Truckin" composed by Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter, performed by Marijuana Deathsquad“Beatles Juice” composed & performed by Derek Berg“Step Right Up” composed & performed by Tom Waits“Business is Business” composed & performed by Godley & Crème Additional Music by The d’Philharmonius OrchestrangeCalliope music performed by Burnsly CookLEGAL NOTICEAll music, historical 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.
