May-June 2010 playlists

Well, I haven't figured out how to copy our brand new playlist tables over to this blog (I can copy/paste them, but then they disappear). But I *can* give you the links to my May and June playlists on the WRIR blog.

June 10: http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/379/

June 3: http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/323/

May 27: http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/266/

(I had a sub May 13 and 20.)

May 6: http://wrir.org/index.php?/blog/entry/180/

Wow!

So. . . I know I've been VERY delinquent about posting playlists, but it's nice to see that somehow people are still finding this blog! I haven't podcast in quite a while either.

WRIR recently updated its website, so I can't get to my January-April playlists right now. I'll try to get you up to speed on the last few months of playlists, but that's about the best I can do.

Hope you enjoy seeing what I've played, and listen in if you get the chance: Thursday mornings, 6-8am, streamable at WRIR.org.

20100107 Breakfast Blend: Birthday Project Mix

The other week I got an interesting email. Suzanne's 40th Birthday was coming up, and for the 40 days before it she wanted to do a new thing every day. And since she'd never done radio before, she asked me if she could sit in on a show.

Normally I'm hesitant to have people in the studio with me [read: don't copy her project and expect me to let you sit in]. But something in her email really struck me, so I invited her to sit in on my show. Here's the link to the podcast site where you can download or play the show: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/38862

New Year's Resolution: Upload my delinquent podcasts

So yeah, the holidays got the best of me, and I didn't keep up with my podcasts. So today I dutifully went back and uploaded everything from Dec through this past week. It would take too much space to list all the songs here, so if you really want to see the playlists you can checkout my playlists on the WRIR website.
