Nine letters a night. I read them exactly as they were written, crossings-out and all.
Independent night radio · Port CaddisTouch to aim · scroll to tune
Radio you find with the lights off.
Four rooms, four frequencies, all live from midnight to five in a building on the Port Caddis waterfront. No adverts, no daylight, no faces on the posters.
88.7FM
Room Tone
Studio A · no host · the mic stays open
The empty studio, live. Rain on the glass, a console ticking over, one lamp. Half the city falls asleep to it on purpose.

Unsent
with Inès Barral · Room B
Callers read the letters they never posted. Inès reads the ones that turn up with no return address.
96.1FM
Side B Only
with Mara Quist · Room C
Vinyl only, never the single. Pressings under three hundred copies, played at whatever speed Mara decides they deserve.
103.9FM
Graveyard Shift
with Theo Lindqvist · Room D
A call-in for everyone working while the city sleeps. Bakers at two, tunnel crews at four, first tram drivers at half past.

If it charted, it isn't on my shelf. I play the side nobody bothered to flip.

Graveyard Shift · On air since 2017
Everyone else is asleep, so the bakers and the tunnel crews end up talking to each other. I just keep the line open.

Line 4 stays open until the signal ends.
Say where you are and what is keeping you up. No names. At 04:40 Room Tone plays the night's messages back, one after another, to everyone still awake.
