Introduction to Season Two: The Enchanted Frequency

Gather 'round the campfire, Navigators. Welcome back to the banks of the Star River!

After a six-week winter thaw, the current is officially moving again. In this special Season 2 teaser, I detail my recent 2,000-mile expedition into the stark, whisper-quiet high desert of New Mexico in search of the Enchanted Frequency.

From chasing the ghostly glow of the Zodiacal light under heavy, pristine dark skies to standing among the massive dishes of the world’s most iconic observatory, Season 2 is a deep dive into how we connect with the universe when the lights go out.

Inside this episode:

• The Return: Shaking off the winter clouds and setting the stage for the journey ahead.
• The Hotline: Long-time listener Mark calls in from the city lights of Ohio to ask a question that bridges the gap straight into the desert.
• The Tease: A sneak peek at next Tuesday’s full-length premiere, featuring my first-ever face-to-face interview, at the VLA with NRAO radio astronomer Dr. Justin Linford.
