@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 9, 2026-Somewhere FM started becoming more than a prototype.I wasn’t only thinking about whether the music sounded good anymore. I also had to think about whether it could actually be broadcast.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialThe Weekend Kickoff is over for this week.
Thanks to everyone who spent part of their weekend with Jay North and Somewhere FM.
Different places. Same broadcast. Same moment.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialLIVE NOW 🔴
The Weekend Kickoff with Jay North is on air.
Press play and join the same broadcast someone else may be hearing somewhere in the world right now.
@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 9, 2026-Somewhere FM finally had a place to listen.I built the first version of the player with a live indicator and moving audio visuals.It was still rough, but the station was no longer just code and sound files. It had become somewhere people could actually visit.

@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialFriday night is almost over in Japan.
The Weekend Kickoff with Jay North starts at 5:00 AM JST.
Different places. Same broadcast. Same moment.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialThursday night has a different feeling.
The week isn’t over yet, but the weekend is already starting to feel close.
Sometimes that’s exactly when radio fits best.

@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialAlgorithms are getting very good at giving us what we already like.
Radio still has one unfair advantage:
it can surprise you.

@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 8, 2026-Kayla wasn’t created just to be “the second voice.”Jay was a Manchester sports journalist. Kayla was a Hawaii-born dancer.If both shows felt the same, the characters would be meaningless. Their topics, pacing, energy and worldview had to change with them.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialSome nights you want to choose every song.
Other nights, it feels better to let the radio decide.
Not knowing what comes next is part of the point.
@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 8, 2026-Somewhere FM got its second DJ.Jay came from Manchester. Kayla Tadokoro came from Hawaii-a fourth-generation Japanese Hawaiian and professional dancer.I didn’t want another version of Jay. I wanted the station to feel bigger than one personality.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialay and Kayla shared the airwaves this morning.
Different voices. Same broadcast. Same moment.
Thanks to everyone who spent part of Monday with Somewhere FM.
@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 7, 2026-Another problem appeared fast, repetition.I realized a 24-hour radio station would need far more variety than I first imagined at least 175 talk themes.Building the voice was one thing. Keeping it interesting was another.
@somewhere-fm.bsky.socialJay and Kayla are off air for this week.Thanks to everyone who spent part of the weekend with Somewhere FM.Different places. Different lives. Same broadcast.
See you next time👋

@hugo524.bsky.socialMay 7, Somewhere FM learned its first hard lesson making a voice speak was not enough.The first tests sounded more like a podcast than a radio station.That’s when I realized the music and the talk had to feel continuous not like two separate things stitched together.
