Listen to Opening of Frequencies, a Fiction Album
Cover Art by Kelly U. Johnson
A low-level luminary of independent deep space exploration shares her life with just a few—and all of them millions of miles away, the audience of the deepcast that helps sustain her work.
Her latest discovery, stumbled upon while she’s recording, lies beyond the bounds of even her extensive experience. As she tries to unravel its mystery, both the realness of reality and her grasp upon it come into question. But the allure of what she’s found quickly eclipses all but her determination to find the signal’s origin.
Frequencies, a Fiction Album, charts new expanses. In them, space is not silent. Its stories, signals, and souls have a message for us if only we’d listen.
Evocative, thoughtful, and completely original. Tenea D. Johnson’s Frequencies simultaneously takes us beyond the beyond of everything we know and intimately closer to our deep emotional truths. Prepare yourself for the riveting and truly immersive experience of the deepcast.

A brilliant voice in science fiction, Tenea D. Johnson perfectly balances sardonic wit and vulnerability in this fascinating exploration of communication, isolation, and community.
– Ginn Hale, author of The Long Past and Other Stories
Johnson’s audio work synthesizes mystery and the vast unknown of space with the intimacy of a story whispered directly in your ear. Compelling and gratifying. Listen to this story in the dark!”

The finder of lost things, the black hole hunter, the pulsar player has hooked me to their deepcast!
I love the calm character light weeks away from anywhere, grooving to the stillness and the infinite possibilities while getting us to subscribe to the cast!
I love the music and mystery where black holes scoop out reality, a plot sizzles!
I love the humor and the language that builds a universe in deft strokes.
Tenea’s got ample burn, all right! Lighting up the sky and casting a net over listeners who will definitely want to come back for more.
