Until fairly recently, there was no distinct focus on the archeology of the night. Lacking a specific nighttime lens through which to view relics from the past, archeologists had been missing an opportunity to capture a whole complete portrait of ancient people’s lives. It was kind of like painting a picture and filling in only half the canvas. Support Nocturne by donating at www.patreon.com/nocturnepodcast Nightways Credits Nocturne is produced by Vanessa Lowe.

Nocturne - In Shadow Places
play

03/24/23 • 31 min

Cristina Gil began her career as an architect in Colombia. As she worked and traveled, she started thinking about how lighting could be part of the solution to making cities safer and more inviting, specifically for women at night. An idea began to take form for a project, an initiative really – called The Night-Time Traveller. The mission of the Night-Time Traveller project would be to explore urban night design from a women’s perspective.

Nocturne - Hot for Teacher
play

02/24/23 • 31 min

In most major urban and suburban areas in the U.S., it’s easy to take for granted that the streets are for cars – that’s just the way it is almost all the time. That’s what we expect to see and experience, day and night. So, when you come across a road taken over by joyful people on bicycles, with cars stuck on the sidelines, it’s kind of a delightful spectacle. In fact, around where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, that’s called a bike party. Support Nocturne by donating at www.patreon.com/nocturnepodcast Hot for Teacher Credits Nocturne is produced by Vanessa Lowe. Find out more about East Bay Bike Party , and the attacks on riders during the February ride.

Nocturne - Quiet Transmission
play

01/08/19 • 28 min

Poetry and the night are some of the last remaining domains of “unknowing”; places where it’s acceptable to digest the world slowly and without conclusion, and where one can linger in, and traverse, experiences like solitude, impermanence, and wonder. Poets Cecily Parks and Tom Harding are both drawn to explore the intersection between the quiet tender moments of night and the act of writing and reading poetry. It’s a space where one can capture fleeting wisps from the darkness, and then send them off for others to hold like fireflies in a jar. Poems from the night are like fragments of dreams forgotten upon waking, reminders of things lost to us in the day. Support Nocturne by donating at www.patreon.com/nocturnepodcast Quiet Transmission Credits Nocturne is produced by Vanessa Lowe. Nick White is our senior editor. Nocturne is distributed by KCRW, and receives support from KCRW's Independent Producer Project, which provides resources to creative storytellers around the world.
