Catch the
clear signal.

Six invented broadcasts from Elara Venn’s tide-side radio desk: strange bass, crooked routes and the moments between a cast and an answer.

Station scan

A signal wall,
not a map.

The station board treats the fictional islands as broadcast points. It is a visual device for stories, not navigation or fishing advice.

Rules for a calm receiver.

A fictional signal is a reason to observe the next scene, not a promise about a catch, result or reward.

Elara’s broadcasts use only what the story sees: light, water, one decision and the space around it.

Every channel closes with the fictional character leaving the invented water as quietly as she arrived.
