  • Even If Nobody in the World Listens
    Apr 7 2025

    A mystery radio signal gets investigated. Interview with Gen-Z: inside the mind of a 13-year-old. A spoken word piece by Thomas Cairns, called "I'd Like to Add You To My Professional Network on LinkedIn." A story about the birds. And a song by the band Good Looks, called If It's Gone. (Thank you Tony, from Keeled Scales, for allowing us to use the song!)
