What is Green Valley Radio?
Green Valley Radio is an audio entertainment project exploring the history of events, music, culture, and conflict in the style of vintage radio broadcasts.
We began producing content in 2021 based in the year 1941, and have continued forward in time since. We now have music & news coverage for the years 1941-1945.
By the end of this project’s development, we hope to have a listening experience that spans 60 years!
Our long term goal is to explore the Depression Era from 1935 through World War II and Post War 1940s, the Atomic Age of the 1950s, Space Age of the 1960s, Analog Age of the 1970s, Digital Age of the 1980s, and finally the dawn of the Internet Age in the 1990s.
We have explored sharing our content in various places, including YouTube, curated Spotify Playlists, and even as a private Discord server at one point. Due to the complicated nature of copyrights and music licensing, we are currently a Private Project, shared exclusively with our Team and a select group of dedicated supporters.
Green Valley Radio will be public again in 2026! We are developing an original web based listening experience we call a RadioWidget which will allow you to experience the world of Green Valley as intended. So stay tuned!!!

Where is Green Valley U.S.A.?
Much like the city in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, the world of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, the town of Springfield in The Simpsons, and the city in Hey Arnold!, Green Valley is largely wherever you imagine it being. It could be anywhere.
The creator of this project envisions Green Valley set somewhere West of the Mississippi, East of the Cascades and Sierras, and north of the Mojave and Sonoran desert regions. But the location isn’t important, what is important is that Green Valley serves its purpose as a space all are welcome to get a glimpse of a past.
Where did the idea for Green Valley Radio come from?
From Creator / Producer Nick Seider: I mostly grew up in Hemet, California, an old cattle and farm town off the beaten path on the margins of the Mojave & Colorado Deserts. Around ten years old I attempted to build a model train layout in the garage. I found the only jazz radio station available and would listen to it as my background entertainment. There was one particular day that sort of set the feeling of sentimental or nostalgic joy I eventually wanted to recreate with this project.
As a teenager, I visited Disneyland as often as I could. The Jungle Cruise is one of my favorite attractions in the park. I love the queue music they play when waiting to board the boats, which is an emulated radio set loosely in the 1930s in an undefined location. As a teenager I often thought about a similar concept – an emulated radio station that explored history through music and news.
I set these ideas aside for college where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in history, until circumstances put a lot of time into my lap in 2020. With idle time came the opportunity for old ideas to reemerge. Around late summer, early fall, I began researching how I could emulate a vintage radio broadcast.
How large is the team?
In 2020, the project consisted of three cast members: Nick Seider (Catalina Jack), Garrett Fritz (Walter Klondike), and Hannah Marks (Hannah Bourbon).
As of November 2025, the project has a team of thirty or so friends and interested persons all providing their time, talents, and support to bring this project to life!

How do you maintain Green Valley Radio Network?
This project is currently funded by our generous PATREON PRODUCTION TEAM, as well as from the creator’s own pocket.
As we approach a 2026 relaunch, we are preparing to pursue historically relevant sponsors for Green Valley Radio.
A combination of Patreon support and small-scale sponsorship revenue will allow this project to continue developing and growing into the future.
How do you safely use copyright music?
When we relaunch publicly in 2026 we will have licenses that allow us to stream our content:
