Broadcasting for the connected, digital age.
At a time when the word "connected" seems to have lost its true meaning, our hope is to promote a sense of community and creativity. Shortwave is a place where collaborative conversations can result in ever-evolving programming and anyone has an opportunity claim their place in broadcasting history.
Discovery
Listen through original broadcasts and the conversations they spark. Follow the threads that interest you, or let Shortwave shape your feed.
Answer the Signal
You don’t need your own broadcast to take part. Simply record your reply and add your voice to become part of the conversation.
Broadcast Your Signal
Create original broadcasts that invite listening and response. From quick reflections to longer stories, your signal belongs here.
Earn Your Call Sign
Each transmission is an opportunity for listeners to register your signal and help establish your presence as a Shortwave creator.
Voice-only conversations.
No text. No distractions.
Record a thought. Tell a story. Listeners reply with their own voice, growing your broadcast into something richer and more human.
Continuous Stories
Any broadcast, no matter how complex, can be played like a continuous story. It feels new each time you return as the conversation evolves.
The Spirit of Shortwave
An homage to the days of ham radio: strangers connecting through voices carried on the air. Direct, curious, and community-driven.
A return to something we lost: real voices, real connections.
Establishing Your Station
Earn your own station and unique identity. Invite contributors, syndicate other creators, and eventually partner with brands for real revenue.
