You’ve found 77.7 FM.
As I was before, so I am again — your host, Steven Carter.
In Episode 2, the signal splits in two: Proof of Signal and Beyond the Tower. Proof is the evidence — the mark or pattern that shouldn’t be possible and yet still arrives. Beyond is the reach — the part that pulls us past the edge of the map, toward both adventure and danger.
Tonight we ask: what happens when mystery finally offers proof? Does it get too heavy to carry, ruin the relationship, or is the ride worth the price?
In this broadcast:
- An anonymous dream-visitation story from someone who keeps hearing the voice of a partner they’ve lost — warning them, helping them, knowing things they shouldn’t. We explore whether that’s just memory… or an actual signal coming through.
- A brief introduction to something people keep whispering about: the Telepathy Tapes. We didn’t create them. We’re just listening — and we’ll return to them later.
- Cornfed Frequencies – “The Suitcase Prophecy”
A strange suitcase appears again and again across different lives. Inside: objects that already belong to you… and one impossible thing from the future. It helps at first, but the more you lean on it, the heavier the consequences get. - Red Rider Reports – “Out Past the Tower Range” (Premiere segment)
A weather station logs a 3:17 AM anomaly. A tape is sealed away in a vault wall. The intern who heard it talks to someone who isn’t there. When Red Rider plays the recording, the voice in the signal seems to be trying on different masks — until it sounds uncomfortably like his own. - Static Is a Language – “The Tape That Watches Back”
From late-night TV static and cursed tapes to ADHD, RSD, and why years of criticism can feel like a horror loop in your head. Static isn’t silence; it’s a language. And sometimes, it feels like the tape is watching you back. Including a PSA on ghosting that does not mince words. - Ghost in the Feed
Reddit stories where small glitches become proof: a dry toothbrush that exposes cheating, a house where “everything is turning green” and the stain leads somewhere no one wanted to look.
Along the way, the episode features in-world support from Hanrose (the espresso ritual that clears morning static), NordVPN (out past the tower range, you never know who else is listening), and Blurpatch™, powered by T.H.A.T.C.H.E.R. — a cognitive modulation system that tries to regulate the noise, rewrite your worst impulses, and “keep you safe in the signal.”
We close Under the Static with one last reminder:
Proof without mystery is a cage.
Mystery without proof is a ghost.
Together, they carry us farther than either ever could alone.
Because you are what you hear…
if you stop to listen.
