This one’s on me, I’m not back in the weekly groove just yet and I’m also drowning in freelance work this week, so I literally forgot it was Tuesday. It’s now 8:36 PM as I’m writing this, and I’m currently on the air. Joys. Thankfully, I have an immense music library and am never really at a loss for Random Shit To Play, so I hope you all enjoy a smattering of what I’ve been listening to as of late. /post/0002_januaryjazzweek1/ Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 /post/0002_januaryjazzweek1/ piper irl It’s the first Tuesday in January, and after a two-hour Rippingtons marathon to test the sound last week I think it’s about as good a time as any for Talkie Time and The Jazz Program to hop back on the airwaves. For now, I’m going to primarily be re-playing some of my favorite show programs from the original “second run”1 of the program. These aren’t going to be rebroadcasts, mind–none of the original shows were archived, an intentional choice I made at the time to avoid dealing with my discomfort with my voice.
