A retired keeper mails us a reel he found sealed inside the lamp room. What's on it has been waiting forty years to be heard.
About the series
Small stories, told close to the ear
Warm Signal began as a single reel recorded in a spare-room booth lined with wool blankets. Three seasons later it's still made the same way — one narrator, a warm ribbon mic, and stories that trust the quiet.
Every chapter ships with a short story note: where the idea came from, what we changed in the edit, and the one line we couldn't cut.

We recorded the whole reel in one candlelit take. You can hear the flame in the second act — we left it in.

What listeners tell us
I put an episode on for the dishes and stood in the kitchen for forty minutes because I couldn't move. That's the whole review.
The story notes are half the reason I subscribe. It's rare to hear a maker admit what they changed and why.
