  • Radio Insomnia #022 – "Mrs. Pearson's Last Watch"

    Radio Insomnia #022 – "Mrs. Pearson's Last Watch"
    Feb 7 2025
    In a town where time stands still, Mrs. Pearson was our constant observer, documenting every shadow, every whisper, every impossibility in her leather-bound notebook. But three nights ago, she followed voices in the desert wind, leaving only footprints that end mid-stride and a half-written letter. Tonight, Sheriff Carson joins us in the studio to piece together her last known movements, while her lamp still burns in an empty window and her curtains move in a windless night. In a place where disappearances are just another way of staying, perhaps Mrs. Pearson has simply found a different angle from which to watch our eternal midnight.

  • Radio Insomnia #021 – "The Humming"

    Radio Insomnia #021 – "The Humming"
    Jan 27 2025
    A mysterious hum manifests throughout the timeless desert town - not quite audible unless you're not listening for it directly. From Maria's diner where coffee cups resonate at different frequencies, to the library where card catalogs quietly rattle with self-updating knowledge, to the pharmacy's subtly flickering lights, the townspeople begin noticing this gentle vibration that seems to exist in the spaces between sounds. As the eternal midnight deepens, the hum reveals itself not as a disturbance, but as the town's own lullaby - a sonic manifestation of time moving so slowly it becomes audible.

  • Radio Insomnia #020 – "The Midnight Blues Parade"

    Radio Insomnia #020 – "The Midnight Blues Parade"
    Jan 18 2025
    On this night of eternal midnight, a mysterious blues parade winds its way through our desert town's streets, moving so slowly you might wonder if it's moving at all. Musicians fade in and out of sight, their notes hanging in the air for hours, and no one can quite tell who's playing and who's watching. Are those familiar faces in the parade, or just tricks of the starlight? Even Mrs. Pearson's meticulous notes can't seem to keep track of this procession that exists somewhere between memory and dream.

    Radio Insomnia #019 – "Calls from the Interstate"
    Jan 14 2025
    In this episode of Radio Insomnia, mysterious phone calls come in from travelers on the eternal interstate - each one caught in their own temporal loop of driving. From a woman trying to reach a love that keeps shifting like a mirage on the horizon, to a trucker who picked up a hitchhiker humming songs that hadn't been written yet, to an engineer following an impossible radio signal. Their stories weave together into a tapestry of endless roads, where distance is measured in memories rather than miles, and every journey leads both everywhere and nowhere at once.

    Jan 2 2025
    In this special episode, Radio Insomnia reflects on its own nature as an ever-present yet ephemeral broadcast, weaving together themes of persistence, eternal return, and the undying nature of radio waves. From the timeless desert town where the temperature holds steady at 72 degrees, host Alex explores how signals never truly die but simply change frequency, reflecting on the show's own journey through the static. Featuring regular callers Maria, Tom, and Old Jim, who share their experiences of hearing echoes of the show during its absence, and four original songs that capture the ethereal nature of broadcasts that travel forever through space and time.

  • Radio Insomnia #015 – "The Slow Drift"

    Radio Insomnia #015 – "The Slow Drift"
    Jan 2 2025
    In this episode of Radio Insomnia, Alex explores the gentle art of drifting apart in a town where time stands still. As the endless night stretches on, we discover how relationships don't end but slowly thin out like morning fog in a desert that never sees dawn. From the diner where tables imperceptibly lengthen between couples, to the gas station where synchronized routines gradually fall out of step, to the library where shared stories become separate readings, we explore the poetry of gradual separation in a place where even the buildings seem to be slowly backing away from each other.
