Static Hour

About the show
A radio show for things the dial left behind.
Each episode, Remy and Lena pick one overlooked machine, signal or sound — a numbers station, a dying repair shop, a pirate transmitter on a rooftop — and follow it until it tells the truth. Part audio documentary, part late-night talk, part love letter to analog noise.
No hot takes, no sponsors reading scripts. Just two people who think the static between stations is the most interesting part of the broadcast.
- Cadence Every other Thursday Two transmissions a month, 12am sharp.
- Format Two hosts + a guest Field recordings, archival tape, real conversation.
- Runtime 45–60 minutes Long enough to get lost in. Short enough for a commute.

The voices on the line.
