2048 AM Voices in the Wood: a new miniseries from Tales Yet Told

Tales Yet Told is thrilled to announce a brand new actual play coming this August, set in the Sublime–the setting of their series Strangers in the Wood. 

2048 AM Voices in the Wood is a five-episode mini-series following 5 broadcasts of a student-run radio show in a dystopian world, where “everyone has a place” and those who don’t like their place are cursed to transform into animals. 

Mixing the elements of DIY music, body horror, and TTRPGs, Voices in the Wood explores the anxiety, frustration, and fear of what it’s like to realize that the world you live in isn’t as “great” as those in charge would have you think while also exploring what it means to find hope and community amongst the chaos.

Voices in the Wood is an immersive listening experience using the framework of the Ennie Award-winning TTRPG: VOID 1680 AM–featuring an incredible cast of 17 powerful and diverse voices from across the actual play space, such as Josephine Kim (GUDIYA), Barnaby (Unprepared Casters), Sea Thomas (Transplanar), and many more. The series also showcases a soundtrack consisting of 28 independent, genre-spanning bands and musicians, such as We Are The Union, American Television, and Missouri Surf Club.  If you're sold and want to try our show, you're in luck! Ep 1 - 'I Don't Know Who Is Doing This' is available to listen to now!

My 17yo and I were in the Jeep and 80's on 8 was playing. As soon as the music started, I'd be like "Oh man I loved this song" the then singing would start. After about the 4th song my son was like "Dad how do you know what the song is going to be when the music just started.

I said, "Man this is going to be one of my biggest old man stories ever." When I was a kid like 9 or 10 we watched a lot of "Name That Tune" at your great grandparents' house." I explained what the show was about and how they had to guess songs from a series of clues and the lowest possible notes played to identify the song. Then I told him that just a few years later when I got my first tape recorder, I would sit in front of that radio with a tape placed just right waiting for the song I wanted to keep. I told him, you can just pop online now and pull just about any song you want. When I was a kid you could hear your favorite song one of three ways, 1. Hear it on the radio at some random time. 2. Buy the record or tape, or if you had not caught up to the 80's yet maybe on reel to reel. 3. If you were lucky enough, you recorded to your kick ass mix tape of all your favorite song to rewind over and over and over.

I also told him that unlike those contestants on "Name That Tune" we had very little warning, no clues, we just had to rely on our ears. If we thought the first few notes sounded anything even close to what you wanted to record you hit "record and play". Because if you did not catch at least a little of the sound bridge you were sure to cut off the first words of the song. Or you jump the gun and got some of the D.J. talking, OR, it wasn't even the right danged song and now you had to rewind the tape to the perfect spot and like a trap door spider try to snatch that music out of the either once again.

Damn it I'm old, and its so cool.

In addition to CJRO/CJRX, operating from studios in the Royal Alexandra Hotel, his network also included the Saskatchewan stations CJRM in Moose Jaw, CJRW in Fleming, and CJGX in Yorkton. – Dictionary of Canadian Biography

so i'm learning about radio on my way to understand ham radio, spurred on by a big vintage FRG-7 radio receiver i thrifted

i'm not in the ham bands yet, but i'm working through and cataloguing the stations i can pick up on the AM bands, and by gods, it's a cesspool in there:

"buy gold! Invest for Jesus with a 100% safe return on investment, or You Will Go To Hell! it's Wrong that pastors that get tax-exempt status cannot spend money towards lobbying; my free speech is jeopardized by The Secular State!"

some lady called in to some catholic radio station upset that there's a trans woman in the women's group and that everyone else in the group is accepting and tolerant about it (you go, girls!) but she's not and they'd call her a bigot if she said something, so the radio station is all 'wow that's too bad men are hunters(???) and you should probably find another church that's less accepting and tolerant :< (boo hoo)'

as a millennial, i've never in my life gone poking around on the AM radio bands, so it's kind of haunting to hear the scams, manipulation, and bigotry that hangs in the air, unheard and invisible by anyone young enough to claim ingorance, knowing there is a malaise taken as sacrament by our dogmatic elders

#QSLfriday KITE was an AM radio station in Kansas City, Missouri, licensed to First National Television, Inc., that broadcast from 1934 to 1942. It was initially one of four "high-fidelity" stations broadcasting above 1500 kHz, the upper end of the broadcast band in the 1930s. It transitioned to standard operations in 1941 and changed its call letters to KXKX in July 1942 before leaving the air on October 9.

First National Radio and Television Institute, a radio engineering school with 600 students, also held an experimental television license, W9XAL, which by 1934 was broadcasting for three and a half hours each day.

KITE sent this radio verification card to a listener in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, in March 1941.
