Remember the one hard, fast and unbreakable rule in radio is, your mic is always on.

It’s very rare that a piece I work on triggers a walk-down Amnesia Lane. However, this one did. It’s the accents. #NewBedford #YesImAMasshole #NPRLife

This has made me happy in so many different ways. The Honorable Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu performing Rhapsody in Blue on a concert Piano with the Boston Pops Conducted by Keith Lockhart at Symphony Hall. Plus, she did it from memory.

Since Cherry Garcia is one of the most popular flavors of Ben & Jerry’s, I wonder how many who imbibe it, know who Cherry Garcia is?

For most of my first 22 years in LA, I’d rarely see the Olympic Cauldron at the Coliseum lit and never at night. However, 3 times in the last 3 months I’ve seen it lit at night for any old reason like an EDC type concert at Expo Park. For whatever reason, it does make me happy. #MyDayInLA

A really good example of the potential of multimodal:: An Amtrak Throughway bus, on the 5, with a Thule bike rack mounted on the back of it. It’ll help solve the last mile problem.

All I’ll say before posting this is 7-Eleven has officially changed over their bread for their chicken salad, egg salad, & tuna sandwiches to Japanese milk bread. Always avoid the tuna. The egg salad is meh but the chicken salad is pretty damn good.

@qlp there was the pre-Live show era January 2000 when Chris Eisenberg of KCPW Salt Lake convinced the staff it would be neat to do a show in front of a live audience. No one had thought of that before. Chris is a genius.
