Small world. I’m a huge fan of hers and had the honor of doing a few shows with her when I was promoting live music events in the Triangle region of NC.

On my bed with CPAP. I’m prone to sleep paralysis without it.

If I receive a call from a number that’s not in my contacts I don’t answer the phone. If they don’t leave a voicemail (and sometimes even if they do), I block the number.

Amongst family & friends, fine. Having a big deal made about in a work meeting? Yes, though I don’t mind my coworkers wishing me a happy birthday individually.

I have distanced myself from many people that continue to support him, including family and lifelong close friends I think of as family. I have no regrets.

Unfortunately, I’m afraid it’ll never see the light of day. I think the days of live radio, live DJs, and the community that was created around them is a story that needs to be told, especially in an era where we’re seeing AI take over pretty much everything.

An interview they did with me for their podcast recently went live on their site.
In recent years I’ve assisted with research for a doc about WQDR in Raleigh, one of the first album rock stations which is where I first heard R.E.M. in 1983, amongst many other artists.

I need to watch. I’m only vaguely familiar with the station due to the doc. I’d also never heard of WHFS until I heard about the doc they were making about that station (which is now out). I also enjoyed the recent doc about college radio, 35000 Watts.

I have far less tolerance for it than I used to. I’ve also experienced this during the coming attractions at the movies to the point where I’ve had to cover my eyes and ears or step out until they’re over.
