Meet the presenters
Mara
First Light & Studio Desk · 5 am–noon
Mara came to radio after years at the college reception desk, where she learned to remember names and ask one useful question. Her grown children still borrow her garden tools. She likes soul records, ordinary conversations and a breakfast that can be eaten standing up. She follows local decisions closely, but has little patience for celebrity gossip or elaborate coffee equipment.
Vegetable gardens · Local history · Soul records
Jules
Between Classes & Open Workshop · noon–6 pm
Jules works around the campus workshops and learned most repairs from an uncle who kept every usable screw. A bike is transport, not a hobby to buy accessories for. Jules cooks the same three dependable meals, reads instruction manuals and likes a bass line with some movement. Sports results usually pass unnoticed; a clever repair or a public-space argument gets a second look.
Repairing useful things · Everyday cycling · Rhythm and bass
Ada
After Class & Projection Room · 6–11 pm
Ada helps at the college library and took the long route back to studying after several years working in a cinema. She keeps a book in her bag, occasionally finishes it, and shares film recommendations with her younger brother. She follows arts and education stories without treating every release as an event. Competitive sport is mostly background noise; an honest conversation holds her attention.
Library books · Films beyond opening weekend · Evening walks
Nico
Last Lamp · 11 pm–5 am
Nico learned sound work in small venues and spent enough years on night shifts to stop calling them unusual. Home is quiet; days off are often laundry, a walk and a long record. There is no secret collection or grand side project. Nico follows the weather and a few science stories, leaves most online arguments alone, and never assumes everyone listening is trying to sleep.
Long records · Sound and listening · A quiet walk
Eli
Relief presenter · A different desk about every other day
Eli helps with room bookings and campus deliveries, and is usually the person who remembers where a spare cable ended up. He likes old radio documentaries, noticing the lettering on shop windows, and cooking enough for tomorrow's lunch. Sports scores seldom hold his attention, and he rarely finishes a recommended-albums list. Covering another presenter's desk suits him: follow the notes, ask when unsure, and keep the listener company.

The daily clock
24 hours, seven programmes.
- First Light
Mara · Longer morning conversations, campus characters, coffee, and records while Red Pines wakes.
- Studio Desk
Mara · Stories from classrooms and workshops, with paint on the timetable and pine needles by the door.
- Between Classes
Jules · Dry humour, small college adventures, and records for the walk between buildings.
- Open Workshop
Jules · Questionable contraptions, good questions, and the emotional lives of folding chairs. Unfinished ideas welcome.
- After Class
Ada · Slower reflections, reading lamps, and songs for the long way past the lake.
- Projection Room
Ada · Mismatched chairs, a blank screen, and songs that might suggest a scene.
- Last Lamp
Nico · Nico’s longer late-night reflections: a quiet reading room, a view of the lake, and company in the dark.
The Missing Timeline
Every midnight, six complete songs open a window into a connected fictional music history, one from each featured album. Nico usually introduces the records; Eli takes the mic when he covers the night shift. Songs from all six albums also appear throughout the regular shows.
Explore the six albumsPine Crossing notebook
A different minute of imagined college and local news for each weekday, after 6 pm. Field Notes takes the longer way home on Thursdays after 5 pm.
Maintenance Required
The complete 20:51 video-story audio, every other evening after 9 pm. Begins between songs.
Red Pines campus bulletin
Jules and Ada bring 90 seconds of campus life on Fridays after 7 pm: library quiet hours, the observatory, and an extension cord gone astray.
At the studio door
Nico hands the early shift to Mara, Mara passes the afternoon to Jules, Jules leaves the evening with Ada, and Ada sends Nico into the night. Around 5 am, noon, 6 pm and 11 pm, the desk changes hands after the record finishes. Eli brings his own gentle handover when he covers a shift. Longer campus stories, unexpected small adventures and quieter overnight thoughts keep the conversation moving.
Our town line brings callers from campus and the night shift, coffee-counter reports, a visit to Second Shift Repair and the evening window at Lake Street Laundry. Occasionally the studio desk has a small adventure of its own. Album introductions and after-song notes name the records we are playing, with an occasional tale from our imagined record room.
From first light to last lamp
Brighter records carry the morning and afternoon. After class, the mix opens out; after 9 pm, darker records pick up the pace. From 11 pm, slower, darker songs leave more space around the night. There is always room for a record that takes another direction.
Occasionally, a small poem or a thoughtful image slips between records: a little colour by day, a quieter verse after dark. Each piece has plenty of space before it returns.
The weekly noticeboard
Ada brings a different minute from the college and Pine Crossing each evening after 6 pm. The week repeats; the stories stay in our fictional town.

Pine Crossing · Northern Wisconsin
Red Pines Community College
Established in 1968, our imagined community college sits between a small town and a very large wood. The Night Owls call it home. WRPC, the fictional call letters of AlgoRythm, keeps the reading lamps company.
A small radio room above the workshops. Records, loaned microphones, and one window that stays lit.
A lakeside path, a modest observatory, printmaking studios, repair labs, and pine needles by the door.
Mara gives mornings more room, Jules finds workshop jokes, Ada winds down after class, and Nico keeps the night reflective. Eli borrows a different desk about every other day, with a notebook and stories of his own. This campus, its presenters and the town are part of the station’s fictional world.

Second Shift Repair
Old radios, reading lamps, and the switch that only works when you hold it just so. Bring it by after class.
Also on the dial: Pine Crossing Auto, Pocket Moon Rentals, with desk-sized moons, and the Lost Sock Exchange, where matching pairs remain a rumor. Our fictional shopkeepers occasionally wander into a story before remembering the commercial. Morning, afternoon, evening and overnight spots follow the station clock.
The Red Pines Night Owls
Pip the Night Owl.
Pip belongs on a faded campus sweatshirt, the workshop door, and the late-night radio booth. Quiet company from the first record to the last lamp.
