The Longwave Home
The Longwave Home
A debut transmission from the far side of memory and imagination. "When I’m 64" is a meditative, musical, time-bending journey through aging, identity, family, and the long, strange arc of a life still unfolding. Blending memoir, soundscape, humor, loss, and wonder, this pilot episode sets the tone for the entire Longwave experiment — a show about who we’ve been, who we are, and who we’re still becoming. Part radio diary, part cinematic essay, part cosmic whisper, it’s the starting point for the waves to come.
