The Longwave Home

Episode 4: A Self-Portrait, A Ukulele & Old RogerWhat does it mean to create something… and then recognize yourself inside it?In this episode of The Longwave Home, we spend time with Nevada County artists—people who live inside the act of making… and unmaking… and making again. Through three conversations, we explore creativity not as a skill, but as a way of seeing… a way of becoming… a way of Life.And in Free River, creativity means different things depending on where you’re standing.For some, it’s a song taking shape in real time… a ukulele, a voice, a question that hasn’t quite found its answer yet. For others, it’s quieter… more personal. A moment of recognition. A shift in perspective. A self-portrait that isn’t painted, but realized… when Jake begins to see his sibling not as who they were, but as who they’ve been all along.And somewhere along the riverbank… there’s Old Roger. Still playing. Still reminding us that what we set out to create… and what we actually create… are rarely the same thing.This is an episode about that space in between… where identity, expression, and accident meet.No formulas. No instructions.Just the work. And the people who can’t seem to stop doing it.THE LONGWAVE HOMEEPISODE #04 - 04.21.26“A Self-Portrait, A Ukulele & Old Roger“Performed by The Free River Players Composed & Directed by d’PhilipProduced & Engineered by Griffin RodriguezExecutive Producers Kelly & Margaret ChalmersDedication: This episode is dedicated to the human virtue of being creative in the way only a human being can be… Be Creative!Music Included;“In The City” Composed by Gino Gavoni, Performed by The 21st Century Flight “Give a Little Bit”, “Dreamer”, “The Logical Song”, and “The Long Way Home”Composed by (Nevada County’s Own) Roger Hodgeson, Performed by Supertramp“You’re There” Composed and performed by Maggie Chalmers, Lyrics by d’Philip Incidental Music by The d’Philiharmonius Orchstrange.Dannah Fournier Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/_cosmo.cutie_?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==https://www.instagram.com/atelier_fournier?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Keegan Hovanski Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/theazrielcollection?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Gino Gavoni Social Media:www.taptunes.comThe Longwave Home Contact:https://www.dphilip.com/longwave-homeLEGAL NOTICEAll music, historical recordings, and third-party sound elements appear with permission of their respective copyright holders or are used under the principles of fair use for purposes of commentary, education, criticism, or historical context.All trademarks, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.This production contains original commentary, narrative, and creative material © 2026 d’Philip & The Family Chalmers Consortium.All rights reserved.www.dphilip.com

Every plan assumes the world will cooperate. But sometimes the melody bends, the timing slips, or the path quietly forks. Episode Three reflects on the art of recalibration—pausing, listening, and finding a new rhythm when the one you expected no longer fits. Because moving forward often begins with learning how to start again.Featuring music and conversations with world-renowned local favorites, CHECKED OUT.

In this episode The Commentator asks one simple question: What Does Integrity Look Like to You?” That question is pondered as we ride along in Free River, Nevada County, California and visit Caliente Hardware & Goods, the nearby local dollar store, and then take the long way home past Western Sierra Park to find The Italian Lemonade guy while enjoying the early spring afternoon…

Episode 001: TransmissionsWhat does connection look like right now—how does it begin, how does it last, and how does it change us? In Transmissions, the first episode of The Longwave Home, The Commentator listens in on the signals that move between us: a quiet moment in a diner, voices from a local community, memories that linger long after a conversation ends. Through story, music, and reflection, the episode traces connection as something ordinary and essential—less lightning strike, more steady current.Set in the texture of everyday life, Transmissions explores how we reach one another in the 21st century—not through platforms or devices, but through attention, honesty, and the small choices that keep us human. This opening chapter invites listeners to slow down, listen closely, and recognize the connections already moving through their lives.THE LONGWAVE HOMEPerformed by The Free River Players Composed & Directed by d’Philip ChalmersProduced & Engineered by Griffin RodriguezExecutive Producer Kelly Chalmerswww.dphilip.comhttps://www.dphilip.com/longwave-homeThe Last Rights:“Transmissions” Written & Performed by Robin Scott/M“Opposites Attract” Written & Performed by Maggie Chalmers “Daiquiri” Music & Performance by Maggie Chalmers“US Blues” Music by Jerry Garcia, Lyrics by Robert Hunter, Performed by The Grateful Dead“442” Music & Performed by Flight“Radio” Written & Performed by Beautiful Dudes“Sandwiches of You” Written & Performed by Godly & Crème “Carry the Season” Written & Performance by Wolf Jackson “You’re There” Music and Performed by Maggie Chalmers, Lyrics by d’Philip Other incidental musicComposed & Performed by The d’Philiharmonius OrchstrangeThis episode is dedicated to the people who helped make this story possible…and that includes you, dear listeners, thank you.LEGAL NOTICEAll music, archival recordings, and third-party sound elements appear with permission of their respective copyright holders or are used under the principles of fair use for purposes of commentary, education, criticism, or historical context.All trademarks, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.This production contains original commentary, narrative, and creative material © 2026 d’Philip & The Family Chalmers Consortium.All rights reserved.
