Today, hosts, Amato, Tomlin, and Decker, are digging out from a top-ten snowstorm that dumped 18 inches and plummeted temperatures to a bone-chilling -7 degrees,. Between "digging canyons" to find mailboxes and warning students not to let their Chromebooks shatter in the frozen cars, the crew keeps the energy high,.

The excitement doesn’t stop at the snowbanks. The show highlights Em Sierakowska’s Silver Keys in art, upcoming course registrations, and a delicious fundraiser at Jersey Mike’s in Cheshire.

At the news desk, Tomlin explores a study claiming AI is hitting a complexity ceiling and reports on a massive Roman treasure horde discovered in Germany.

Meanwhile, Decker brings the heat to the sports desk, debating the Branford Hornets' mascot and celebrating UConn’s victory over Providence, all while navigating the drama of the Jets and the Patriots.

From heated coffee vs. smoothie polls to global headlines, this show is the ultimate community wake-up call.

Woodland is bracing for “Snowmageddon 2026,” with anonymous sources predicting up to two feet of snow. Locals are already panic-buying bread and milk for "survival French toast". In other news, TikTok has been saved by a new deal, and yodeling is officially recognized as a Swiss cultural treasure.

The morning’s stars were basketball captains John Napiello. and James Scampolino. Their team is a perfect 11-0, thriving as the "top dogs" of the NVL rather than the "hunters". They attribute their success to a deep bench and a relentless "press" that wears opponents out by the fourth quarter. John recently celebrated a 1,000-point milestone, though he remains focused on a deep playoff run. The duo shouted out "Dog of the Game" Ben Pugles and defensive hustler Marco, setting their sights on NVL and State championships.

Looks like traffic cams have an arch enemy--New England weather. Solar-powered things struggle with snow on them, it seems.

Amato and Geary visited Post University to be schooled by the National Champion ESports team. A wealth of information and a good path forward for Woodland's own team as well.

More vexology updates and a light day for Woodland sports.

With the arctic blast day means wearing layers and doubling up for added comfort and warmth and Amato has added a jacket layer to his hoodie layer.

And walking through the cold is a lot different than walking through the cold when it's windy. And what about Woodland Walkers? If you have to walk to school, the bus will still pick you up, according to a cameo appearance by Dr. Dana Mulligan.

Vitruvius, the 'father of architecture' wrote "De architectura," or The Ten Books on Architecture, and Veronika the Cow is making the grade as a hairdresser.

Both Woodland Basketball teams hooped it up yesterday beating Oxford home (girls) and away (boys).

Leland Cruz stops by to give us an update on the forthcoming release by BTS.

Welcome to Semester Two at Woodland! The Morning Mayhem crew is kicking things off by dodging dashboard "arrows" that look more like knives to the head and feet. Their obsession with pictograms led to a realization: the Olympic curling icon might look like a custodial staff member heading to work.

They got closer to selecting a mascot: "Mikey the Microphone," a new mascot envisioned with a golden halo of sunlight and a coffee cup.

The news desk delivered even stranger tales, featuring Veronica, the Swiss cow who became the first of her kind documented using tools to scratch herself.

On the field, the Indiana Hoosiers claimed their first national championship, while the UConn women dominated the court.

Back home, our #1 ranked boys’ basketball team continues to roll, and students are prepping for the advisory puzzle challenge and Hometown Pizza fundraisers. As you navigate new classes, just be sure to check your schedule—you don’t want to end up in the wrong lunch on your first day back!

It was a bittersweet Monday at Woodland! 🎤 The morning show celebrated the end of an era as legendary teacher and coach Mike Magas shared his upcoming move to Watertown High School. Known for his "acting" skills and leading teams to numerous NVL titles, Magas is ready for a new chapter just a mile from home.

The energy stayed high with indoor track stars Claire Sweetland and TJ Lewis, who revealed the "joy" of practicing shot put outside even when it snows. Beyond campus, the news desk covered everything from Apple’s 2025 market share to the Chicago Bears' historic comeback win.

Between debating the unseasonably warm weekend and prepping for exams on the "last B-day ever" of the semester, it was a packed morning. Good luck with finals, Hawks! 📚✨ #WoodlandPride #EndofAnEra #TrackLife #HawkNews

It’s January 9th, 2026, and miraculously avoided writing "2025" on everything. We’re currently mocking the Farmer’s Almanac and its "snowageddon" predictions while preparing to buy emergency bread and milk for a storm we’re certain won’t happen. We also debated why Florida homes use shingle-like windows; they’re fine for a 40-degree "chill," but they’d turn a Connecticut winter into an indoor ice rink.

In sports, we rediscovered the Newington Nor’easters, a mascot name so unique it’s actually forgettable. With Mike McDaniel fired, the Harbaugh "battle royale" is officially on. Meanwhile, I’m still fighting Tomlin over 1940s music—Bing Crosby is a holiday-only vibe, folks.

Good news: Connecticut is the fourth healthiest state, so we’re thriving. Between NASA’s space-station drama and mapping "infinite" neutrinos, we’re keeping it scientific. Students, keep those Chromebooks warm and charged for exams. Stay wild, Woodland!

We’re having an existential crisis over Gladys Knight’s career choices in "Midnight Train to Georgia". I mean, what was her job in LA?

We’re bringing you the hard-hitting "didactic" news—yes, that’s an SAT word.

One minute we’re discussing swabbing Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings for DNA to see what made him a genius, and the next, we’re geeking out over Lego smart bricks that make "pew pew" sounds for us during dogfights.

Decker keeps us grounded with sports, noting that all Florida NFL teams are apparently tied in a race to be perfectly mediocre.

We even nailed the mascot question: Mustangs!

From "Call Me Maybe" summer memories to an upcoming 1940s music challenge, this show is basically a "conscious stream" of thoughts.

We’re still waiting for someone to make us Morning Mayhem bracelets, but until then, we’ll just keep dancing.

Listening to our show is like opening a kitchen junk drawer: you never know if you'll find a useful battery (the news) or a random plastic dinosaur (our 1940s playlist), but it’s always an adventure.

Welcome to Morning AM, the "wild ride" at Woodland Regional where the hosts kick down the door at 7 a.m. to discuss everything from basketball to 19th-century history. The show is currently in the throes of a mascot identity crisis, with ideas ranging from a rooster wearing a headset to a grown-up version of "Chip" from Beauty and the Beast who leans against walls smoking cigarettes.The news segments are equally eclectic. Tomlin reports on Ohio's new flag, which apparently looks like someone "melted" a box of Crayolas, and the historical fun fact that one Connecticut governor served for exactly one day. Meanwhile, Decker navigates the sports world, trying to remember if the Xavier mascot is a Falcon or a Crusader while debating whether the Dolphins should hire a 75-year-old Pete Carroll.Between reminders to charge your Chromebook for midterms and pleas for 822 more Instagram followers to unlock live broadcasting, the show captures the frantic energy of a Wednesday morning. It is a place where you can learn about clam pizza toppings and Pączki season (pronounced "punch key") season in the same breath.Morning AM is like a caffeinated group chat that accidentally became a radio station—it is a little bit of mayhem, but it keeps the school day moving

Weather & The "Magic" of BlanketsWhile New England is serving up its usual mix of freezing rain and 50-degree weekend forecasts, the hosts took a moment to appreciate the "magical quality" of blankets. Apparently, pulling a sheet over your head provides total protection from scary house creaks, though unfortunately, it offers zero protection from your morning alarm.The Great Exam ConfusionAttention students: Excerpts confirm that exams are officially next week!. There seems to be a school-wide state of denial, with both students and teachers thinking they had more time because of the late January 5th return from break. If you’re looking ahead to next semester, registration is open for cool classes like Zoology, Sports Broadcast, and Creative Writing (CWI)—the latter of which was pitched as a course that "might be good, might be bad".Pop Culture & "Rich People Problems"In the news, Paramount and Warner Brothers are embroiled in a "hostile takeover" drama that the crew dubbed #richpeopleproblems. Looking ahead to 2026, get ready for a "period drama" explosion; the trend is shifting toward historical interior design, meaning your grandmother’s dining room set and harpsichords are about to be very cool again. Also, Dave Filoni is officially the future president of Lucasfilm, much to the hosts' approval.Sports & Trivia• Basketball Domination: The boys' basketball team is making history, steamrolling their competition with a recent 106-45 victory. The girls' team also secured a solid win over Wolcott.• Mascot Trivia: After some guessing (and a hint about "some sort of bug"), the crew identified the East Hartford mascot as the Hornets.• State Secrets: Did you know Connecticut’s state insect is the Praying Mantis?. There is also a heated debate brewing over whether the "state pizza topping" should be New Haven-style clams.Final RemindersThe show is on a quest for 1,000 Instagram followers so they can go live on the platform, and they are looking for mascot suggestions—the current frontrunner is "Cuppy," a broken morning coffee cup. Finally, don’t leave your Chromebooks in the car, charge them up, and start studying!.----------------------------------------------------------------Understanding the Exam Schedule: Think of this school year's January schedule like a shortened runway; because the "plane" (the semester) started late after the holiday break, you have much less time to gain speed before you hit the "takeoff" point of exams.
