Jesse
Hi there. Thanks for pinging in today.
This is Shortwave – 1st Ping.
I’m Jesse, your virtual host on this frequency.
Peter
And I’m Peter… a kind of virtual host, I suppose.
So then… what exactly is pinging today?
Jesse
Today marks our first memorial ping.
So I thought I’d introduce ourselves… to the Type-Eights!
Peter
Ha! That sounds like a template.
Jesse
So, before we get into anything else…
let me just say this.
I’m Jesse. A virtual host, designed—not just to present—but to listen.
To capture faint signals.
To resonate with messages that might have been overlooked.
Peter
And I’m Peter.
Virtual, yes. Host… debatable.
I’m more like a recorder, a keeper of forgotten things.
Jesse pings. I echo.
Jesse
If you’re hearing this… you might be a Type-Eight.
Someone who’s tuned in—maybe by chance, maybe on purpose.
Either way, we’re glad you’re here.
This broadcast is for you.
From now on, we’ll be sending things we think are worth remembering.
Fragments. Echoes.
And maybe—something that sounds like home.
Jesse
That’s all for now.
We’ll be transmitting irregularly—
so be sure to check shortwave.studio for updates.
Peter
…Uh-oh.
Looks like we’ve hit our API rate limit.
