Decided not to play any music. None. Just talk. There were some calls, including a delightful exchange with Allie (young daughter of Mark Kenney from Ear Bisque, Fridays 8-10pm), a couple of them with Dickie (The B-Side, Thursdays 7-9pm), plus the broadcast-shy winner of a pair of tickets to her pick of screening during the Bellows Falls Opera House classic film series. Border Pete came by (Border Radio, Mondays 8-10pm) and told the spooky tale of a small piece of skull, and others. Good times!

Is anybody using the aircheck anymore, or is everyone who particularly cares about it using the recorder?

I’ll ask this question here again for the next three shows, and after that, depending on what I do or don’t hear, may stop posting these airchecks. One less thing to do, y’know? Email prettybigplace [at] potkettleblack [dot] com

JOIN WOOL.fm
WOOL is a low-power station, but has won approval from the FCC for a full-power upgrade to serve a larger community in rural southern Vermont and New Hampshire that currently has no local-origination radio programming. This is particularly important when we have local weather emergencies. Big swaths of the countryside around here don't have cable TV, and no broadcast TV reception. With no radio outlet specifically for our region, people are left in the dark when they most need information. Without meaning to be crass, the only thing between here and there is money... and there's a deadline: If we can't do the upgrade within a restricted amount of time, we're going to lose that full-power license. That would suck. Your membership in WOOL.fm will help us meet this goal. Win!

Time was there used to be links in the playlists to Amazon; the idea being that it might help cover the nominal costs of hosting the show and the website. Not doing that anymore. Total bust! Which is OK. Buying directly from the artist or supporting your locally owned music store is far preferable.

If for some wonderful reason you want to support the show directly, you can't. There isn't a mechanism. But you can contribute to general morale if you'd like; music suggestions and submissions are always welcome. Or feel free to explore this little-used wishlist at Amazon for ideas. Just sayin'.

But really, the best thing of all is when you become a member of WOOL-FM — or if you have a business, you can become an underwriter.
