  2. 115

    Thoughts at 217 AM

    On midnight highways, where memory, myth, and static blur together. Broadcasting somewhere around 3731 kHz, Merki Ann Bell navigates shadowed signals, strange lights, and stories that feel half-remembered and half-dreamed

  5. 112

    Talking about ghosts ( and other stuff too)

    The lights are low. Tonight, we’re talking ghosts — not just the spooky kind, but the ones that live in dreams, memory… and maybe between worlds. A little intellectual. A little bit of guess work. And some great music too.

  6. 111

    Flashpoint

    Live radio host David Hartley examines the troubled and increasingly volatile state of Minneapolis, and the shocking death of intensive-care nurse Alex Pretti during a federal immigration enforcement action. Could this moment become a flashpoint in an already fractured United States? As citizens, do we hold back—or do we step forward in open public protest? Is peace still possible in such turbulent times through self-reflection, historical awareness, and a renewed effort toward kindness and tolerance? Also looked at is the violence in people who kill wolves and how such things reflect themselves in the current state of extremism in the USA . Join us for a late-night conversation filled with thoughtful ideas, quiet humor, and carefully chosen music—seeking clarity, humanity, and perspective in a time of deep unrest.

  7. 110

    Radio Space – The Divided Self and the Search for Balance

    We go all over the place tonight before turning you on to a new Inbetween Stations Radio broadcast called The Darker Self. A reflection on the divided self and the tension between opposing forces within us. This episode explores light and shadow, individuality and collective identity—blending philosophy, humor, and music into a late-night journey. We explore the polarities that exist within both the individual and the collective self—throwing in plenty of weirdness, humor, and good music along the way.

  8. 109

    A place you can go to

    The journey culminates here — with a search for a place of rest and renewal amid the chaos. David Hartley moves across the nighttime airwaves, seeking hidden doorways to peace and bliss, and inviting you to follow.

  9. 108

    Voices through the starlight

    If there is a doorway, what might we hear as we approach it? This third broadcast invites you to listen closely — to the night, to the stories of the land, to the voices of animals, ancestors, and dreams. Join David Hartley and his stumpy-tail heeler Gunner as they share tales of local Native tribes, mysterious doorways, natural time clocks, and the quiet turning of the seasons under autumn stars.

  10. 107

    The Doorway

    Building on the reflections from Across the Nighttime Hours, this second broadcast asks: is there a way out of today’s chaos and unrest? Could there be a doorway — a passage into an older, more enduring reality? David Hartley speaks with Dr. Sam Aeron about the possibility of stepping through to a timeless super-reality that lies just beneath today’s turbulent world.

  11. 106

    Across the nighttime hours

    In the quiet hours between midnight and dawn, host David Hartley takes you into the stillness of the night.

    Being There (but just where is "there")

    You hear us on the radio. But are we really there? Voices drift through wires and waves—familiar, intimate, maybe even comforting. But who’s really speaking? And who’s really listening? Where are you, exactly? Where am I? In an age where signals cross the lines between what's digital and what actual physical , is presence is a matter of bandwidth, we ask the question technology refuses to answer: What does it mean to be there? Join us on this week’s broadcast as we dive into the soft static of reality, where memory, sound, and silence blur. It’s not just a radio show. It’s a séance of sound.
