🌊 RTW Weekly Signal
Week of September 07, 2026
This week, our network is exploring the monsters we create—both on screen and within ourselves—and what it takes to reclaim your own story when the world has already written one for you.
🎬 Parallel Frequencies — New Episode This Week
Interview with the Vampire: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise & Immortal Dread
Published Friday, September 4, 2026
Mary Shelley was nineteen when she wrote Frankenstein. Over two centuries later, we’re still pulling that story apart, still asking the same questions: Who decides what’s human? What does it mean to be abandoned by your creator? And what does it mean to create a being you refuse to love?
This week, Parallel Frequencies is sitting down with two filmmakers who are answering those questions from opposite corners. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein believes monsters need tenderness. The visual language is Renaissance painting come to life—every frame insists that the creature deserves beauty, not shadow. Oscar Isaac and Christopher Waltz anchor a film that asks not just “why was I created?” but “what wound in my creator made him incapable of love?” It’s del Toro’s theology made visible: the monster is the only honest heart in the room.
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride approaches the same story with zero interest in comfort. Where del Toro seeks redemption through beauty, Gyllenhaal extracts power through refusal—what happens when the creature asks not to be loved, but to be free?
🔮 Practically Magick — In the Pipeline
Healing isn’t about feeling good in the moment. It’s about returning to the earliest wounds—sometimes all the way back to the womb—and asking your nervous system to remember that it’s safe to trust again. Practically Magick is bringing you sessions that prove this works: pendulum readings that map your energy, muscle testing that pinpoints exactly where to go, and the kind of vulnerability that only happens when someone creates a truly held space.
Coming up: womb healing sessions that rewrite the story your body learned before your mind could form words, and the ceremonial power of making something with your own hands—what happens when drum making becomes a spiritual initiation, when you honor an animal you’ll never meet and step into a relationship with something larger than yourself.
🎙️ Yes and Land — New Episode This Week
Lion King and Self-Trust | Jeremy Cameron
Published Thursday, September 3, 2026
Everyone tells you to trust your gut. Follow your instincts. Believe in yourself. But nobody tells you that your gut is lying to you half the time—not because you’re broken, but because you haven’t learned the difference between what your ego wants and what your actual self knows to be true.
Yes and Land is diving into self-trust through the lens of The Lion King, and it’s not the Disney story you watched as a kid. This is about the gap between Simba, who remembers who he is and steps into his power, and Scar, who believes in himself with perfect confidence and uses that certainty to manipulate and destroy. Both trusted themselves. One was right. The other was catastrophic. So what’s actually the difference? Real self-trust asks a single question: Is what I’m about to do consistent with my principles? Not whether it feels good. Not whether it makes you look powerful. Whether it aligns with who you actually are when nobody’s watching.
🎧 Those Guys Sports Podcast — In the Pipeline
The Ride The Wave network brings you conversations across every dimension of human experience—and that includes the unfiltered energy of sports talk, where passion, strategy, and real talk collide. Stay tuned for what’s coming next from the guys.
💋 Lady Face A.M. — In the Pipeline
Body image is what you think other people think of your body. It’s a treadmill with a finish line that keeps moving. Body ownership is different—it’s deciding for yourself what your body means, and it’s the most radical thing a woman can do. Coming soon: three women breaking down the difference between chasing someone else’s definition and actually inhabiting your own skin. Plus, what men actually want from aesthetic medicine—and it’s probably not what you think.
🎧 Hoppe Radio (Hoppe Hour) with Ryan Hoppe — New Episode This Week
Hoppe Labor Day! (Hoppe Hour With Ryan Hoppe: 9.6.26)
Published Sunday, September 6, 2026
Labor Day means different things to different people. For Hoppe, it’s a moment to talk about work, rest, and the energy it takes to show up in the world as yourself—no script, no filter, just real conversation.
🎧 The Hammerin’ Hank Show — In the Pipeline
Radio legends don’t disappear when the format dies. They evolve. Hammerin’ Hank spent decades in Bay Area radio—Wild 94.9, The Doghouse, national syndication on Hot 97.7—proving that autism isn’t a ceiling, it’s a launchpad. He was elected to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. But here’s what matters more: he shows up, he’s reliable, and he makes people laugh. Coming soon: the unfiltered story of old-school radio translated into podcast format, autism advocacy that doesn’t ask for permission, and why “never give up” actually works when you’re the one living it.
🎧 The Ghost Movie Project — In the Pipeline
Ride The Wave is constantly exploring the intersection of cinema, culture, and what it means to be human in a world that keeps changing. The Ghost Movie Project is part of that conversation—stay tuned for what’s coming.
📡 Trending This Week
Identity isn’t something you find once and then own forever. It’s something you discover, lose, rebuild, and reclaim—especially after trauma has written a story about you that you never agreed to. This week, the cultural conversation is shifting toward authentic self-discovery: how to move past the version of yourself that was shaped by other people’s expectations, other people’s fear, other people’s wounds.
That shift matters because it moves the conversation away from self-improvement—that endless treadmill of optimization—and toward something more fundamental: What do I actually believe about myself when nobody’s watching? Who am I beneath the performance? The Ride The Wave network is exploring this from every angle: through film criticism that asks what monsters deserve, through healing modalities that return you to your earliest wounds, through radio authenticity that refuses the script. The common thread is the same: reclaiming your own narrative.
