Super interesting episode.

I'm going to be hanging up the weekly radio show for a while towards the end of December -- the speed of life and work are accelerating lately to the point where I just don't have the time to do it properly. So while it's always sad to make these decisions, I've been here enough times in the past to know I'll be back at some point down the line. In the meantime, it's my intention to pick up regular fill-ins so as to ward off the dreaded phenomenon known as DJ Mothball Smell. My last regularly scheduled show will be on Sunday, 12/21. Beyond that, new playlists and archives for any one-off broadcasts will all be archived here:

Tonight on Techtonic, hosted by @markhurst:
Amateur radio enthusiast Thomas Witherspoon tells the story of surviving Hurricane Helene when all power and phone access went down. His amateur radio skills were like a "superpower" - though just as important was his community with neighbors. (6pm EST)

More upcoming guests and special shows on #WFMU are listed at https://wfmu.org/upcoming

Close down the holiday weekend in the Starlite Lounge with three hours of freeform radio. Tonight's 9 PM invocation will be delivered by William S. Burroughs, with a benediction from Killah Priest wrapping things up shortly before midnight. What happens in the middle will be determined on the fly, precisely as the gods intended.

Almost 25 years ago, I was tasked with having a number of these made by a local signmaker in Jersey City Heights. The parking lot they used to adorn is long gone (FMU sold it to a developer), but I spied one of the signs in Station Manager Ken's office this past Tuesday when I was up to do a fill-in show. Ken was initially reluctant to let me have it, but when I reminded him that *I* was the one who'd done the grunt work of having them made (and also after I pointed out that there were at least six others just like it stacked behind this one in his office), he relented.

The signs themselves did only a marginal job of keeping random assholes from parking in our lot, and there were many occasions when it was necessary for me to shoo feckless realtors and coked up limo drivers off our property. But happy to have this as a reminder of those times.
