The Gazelle radio station and beacon was built in 1965 as a way of guiding of life to earth. Now, fifty years later, its caretakers are failing to keep the station up to date. Kurt Evans, a radio DJ, and Mike Jones, a former Boeing engineer, must deal with the fact that their project is being shut down and struggle with the idea that maybe there’s nothing out there after all.

In 1965 George Broughton built an 80-foot tall beacon in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with the goal of guiding life to Earth. Fifty years later his self-proclaimed project of galactic hospitality is being shut down. The future of the beacon now lies in the hands of the current hosts of the radio station, the Gazelle, set below the light. With fifty years of music and reported UFO sightings by the show’s listeners, it’s up to the hosts to find a way to save the radio station and keep the beacon lit. www.thewayhere.org
