The Wake of the Flood

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?The Longwave Home Episode #07“The Wake of The Flood”Performed by The Free River Players Featuring:Evan Saldivar - Arturo Calienete/Jason SmackhouseDannah Fournier -Kala Kapoor/Lily WhiteTrinity Rodriguez -Rose RojasMusic Included:“To Be a Ghost…”Composed & Performed by Jeff Rosenstock“When the Levee Breaks”Composed by John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Memphis Minnie, Jimmy Page & Robert PlantPerformed by Led Zeppelin“River Takes the Town”Composed & Performed by The Wood Brothers“Alright”                Composed & Performed by Melted“Carry On Wayward Son”Composed by Kerry LivgrenPerformed by Kansas“Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”  Composed by Joey & Dee Dee Ramon and Jean Beauvoir        Performed by The Ramons “Touch of Grey”Composed by Jerry Garcia & Robert HunterPerformed by The Grateful Dead“You’re There”                          Composed & performed by Maggie Chalmers, lyrics by d’Philip Other incidental musicComposed & Performed by The d’Philiharmonius OrchstrangeTHE LONGWAVE HOMEComposed & Directed by d’PhilipProduced & Engineered by Griffin RodriguezExecutive Producers Kelly & Margaret DEDICATIONFor the survivors of tragedy and calamity, and for the people who keep showing up day after day…Your resilience, your perseverance, and your willingness to carry on inspire us more than you know.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.
