WPEA

You guys have to get on this... 90.5 WPEA and it can be heard on your fancy internet radios.
ACB called me on Friday night saying Charlie was on- I was at a restaurant so I missed it, but apparently he was dragged there by two friends who had a gig and needed him to help them with the banter. Duck to water is all I can say- he said the hour went by like it was a minute; and now he might have his own show in the spring! a sports based one I think... (with possibly taciturn German cousins as guests.) Andrew and I are obsessed with radio and we are determined to fulfill all our radio producing fantasies from afar. We speak about all the ideas we have for his time on the air. Here is one- a segment where you "better get to know..." and he can start off with the kids in Math 999- the class offered to kids who have taken everything else, and need another. Each year it is different, it is just whatever they want to teach with whomever is qualified to take it. Frederick speaks in hushed tones about a kid in a trench coat who played guitar and was in that class. The kids suspect it is taught in the middle of the night with blood instead of chalk.

Anyway the station is downright addictive...the kids are so smart and nice to each other; and I love their angst filled music choices. For anyone missing those three knuckleheads like I do (don't know why it's worse at the moment..). it is a salve. I listened for a long time last night as I made my turkey bolognese (excellent) after a nice little 12 mile walk in frigid winds. There were three kids on- one was in a super selective a cappella group and she sang for a while; another was born and raised in Paris; another was...dunno..but all were just so adorable talking about their advisors and then the government shut down and so blessedly free of ranting or heavy opinions. And then the best part- they signed off because even though they sounded like real DJs, they had to get back to the dorm before curfew.

(Charlie with a microphone!!! it's too good..)
