May 11, 2026-Somewhere FM got its first way for listeners to talk back.I created a message form where people could choose a DJ and send them a note.The idea mattered more than the form: I didn’t want radio to be one-way forever.

May 9, 2026-Kayla stopped being a character on paper and became part of the actual broadcast.Her voice, topics and schedule were connected to the station, so Jay was no longer the only DJ on air.That was the day Somewhere FM started becoming a multi DJ station.

May 9, 2026-Somewhere FM got its own workspace.I separated it from my general AI chats and gave the project its own context and instructions.It sounds small, but this was the start of treating the station as something that needed continuity.

May 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.

May 9, 2026-Somewhere FM had become something I could actually lose.So I started backing up the project properly.A few days earlier it was just an idea. Now it was something worth protecting-and keeping alive had become part of the job.

May 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.

May 7, 2026 — before Jay North had a voice, I had to decide who he was. I made him a 34-year-old sports journalist from Manchester, a Manchester United obsessive, with a wife and daughter. Only then did I start looking for a voice that felt like Jay.

May 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.

Before I built an AI team, it started with one thought:“I want to make a radio station.”A 24/7 internet radio station powered by AI.I didn’t know what I needed. Servers, streaming, voices, music rights…I started anyway.

The next day, May 7, Somewhere FM made sound for the first time. It was still rough, but that moment mattered this wasn’t just an idea anymore. A browser was actually playing the radio station I had imagined only a day earlier.

May 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.

May 7, 2026 - after Somewhere FM made sound for the first time, its first DJ was born: Jay North, a 34-year-old sports journalist from Manchester who loves Manchester United. Until then I had a radio. Now it had a voice.

AI’s first answer made one thing clear: a 24/7 internet radio station wasn’t just a website. I’d need music rights, an always-on server, AI voices and streaming. It was much bigger than I expected. So I chose the smallest next step: build a prototype.

My first version of Somewhere FM was ugly. Really ugly. It wasn’t meant to look good. I just needed to know one thing: could I make music play in a browser at all? That was enough for the first step. Build something ugly, make it work, then keep going.

I got into AI after seeing a post about an AI-built radio project with public code.That sparked a bigger idea: what if an entire radio station could be built and run with AI?So I started building one.By the way, I’m not an engineer.
More to come 🔜

I didn’t know how software projects were “supposed” to be built. So I made an AI org chart.I make the decisions. Claude manages the project.
Specialist AIs do the work. Claude Code builds it. I’m not an engineer. I just kept going.

May 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.
