First Time, Long Time

The Harland West Radio Show is a forum for disaster. From a lonely microphone, in an unknown room, the talk show host casts his radio net out into the ether, searching for those confronting inexplicable oblivion, inviting their tales, and counseling where he can. Their calls are a tap dance through the absurd, from minor catastrophe, to apocalyptic testimonials. It’s a relationship as cherished as it is symbiotic, passing across the invisible shared space of radio waves. Our phones have become like prosthetic limbs, and when we reach for them, we reach for comfort and a sense of security. Harland West is the voice on the other end of that particular line.
