It’s Alive w/ Ghosts of Ghosts & Scot Jenerik!

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

We’ve got a live split LP of a show for you this week, as we bring you post punk and experimental music – and interviews – with artists here in the Mid-Valley, that I think you are going to love.

We start off with a live performance and interview with Ghosts of Ghosts, a trio who bring you instrumental tunes that are as danceable as they are otherworldly. After a brief intermission in hour two, flip the show over, and go on an otherworldly journey, with a live set by Scot Jenerik, who returns to the show to talk about his new live boxed set, Street of Crocodiles, and also gets into a lot of the process and motivation behind creating new work.

It’s a live double-header and you don’t want to miss it!

Enjoy!

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 3)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)

We forego our regular shows during the holidays, and for this program, we offer you a variety of holiday fare, all originally aired on this same date, but many decades before.

This week, we air an episode of The Good News of 1939, a variety show with music and comedy, and a performance by Lionel Barrymore, recreating some key moments for A Christmas Carol. Voice of The Army brings us a unique (and somewhat unusual) broadcast, Christmas Harps, with harp-renditions of Christmas classics. Finally, we bring you a story from the anthology program, NBC Radio City Playhouse, with a story that is using a very familiar title.

It’s two hours of vintage holiday broadcasts, ready for you this holiday season.

Enjoy!

Word Jazz IV w/ Ken Nordine (A “Cheek-In-Tongues,” “Fill-In-Shows,” Installment)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)

We make another nod to Nordine, as we continue to explore the classic Word Jazz series of broadcasts.

This week, Barno was out again, so it made sense to grab two more installments of this program, and give it a throw. The Digital Salon was pretty lively, as Hot Dog – and the pros and cons of Chicago Style – rapidly became the subject of conversation.

Enjoy!

The Melinda Snodgrass Interview

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 2)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

Continuing our Holiday Anniversary trend, we bring you two more episodes of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and a short holiday installment of The Gift of The Magi, which apparently makes everyone else in the world cry, but makes me laugh.

Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Leftovers, 2025!

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

I had to miss my regular Tuesday show this week, so I picked up a shift to cover for Don-O, and offering three house of Thanksgiving Leftovers: all albums and records that I’ve been meaning to get to this year, but hadn’t appeared on the show yet. It’s a MOSTLY all vinyl show, but I really just play whatever I want, and enjoy it the whole time. Now you can, too.

Be Seeing You!

Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 1)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

Our Holiday Season this year is filled with anniversary retrocasts: shows that originally appeared on the same date, but many decades previous. We start this year off with two installments of CBS Radio Mystery Theater, and a short holiday installment of The Victory Front.

Smoke Two Joints In The Morning: 420, Too (A Danksgiving Special!)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

Since many of us are stuck visiting with family that we don’t particularly want to see this time of year, we decide to take a radio “walk” out behind the garage, and huff down a couple j’s, soaking in another massive dose of stoned audio adventures, combined with some Thanksgiving Recipes by Martha Stewart, herself. All part of our annual Thanksgiving Shenangans, that works well fresh from the oven, or parsed out over the next couple weeks.

Enjoy!
