	5:08pm joe mulligan: ↳ joe mulligan @5:06 (meaning no answer from Katie Britt)
	🚽 5:09pm HyperDose: Suzy's grand prize is crazy. Ramones 7 LP set!
	5:09pm Robm: ↳ joe mulligan @5:08 katie britt would not know what this station is
	5:09pm jenni matz: Just pledged. YAY KEN! happy to support my favorite station and favorite former boss Ken. My origin story: listening to 91.1 while working in edgewater, NJ started volunteering at the station back in EAST ORANGE and helped paint the new station in JC when it occurred to me i was a terrible painter but decent producer and convinced ken to let me produce the wfmu record fair-- back in 1998! miss you all!
	5:09pm dreamyandseedy: Hi Ken and Jim! excited to hear state of the station
	5:09pm moparlarry: Question- the “terrestrial” signal on 91.1 seems to have gotten worse- drifts a lot and seems harder to tune in especially on a car radio. What’s changed and can it be improved. Long time listener since 1978.
	5:09pm Ivan from Woodbridge: I applied to four colleges. The first one to accept me was Upsala college. I went elsewhere but checked out their radio station.
	🚽 5:10pm HyperDose: Jim wears the most hats I've ever seen 🎩👒⛑️🎓
	5:11pm Officer Pupp: My origin story as a UK listener is that I was a fan of Laura Cantrell and heard that she had a show on WFMU, so in about 2000 or so I started listening in over the internet. At about the same time I bought a Nina Nastasia CD off Andy Waltzer and we emailed a little bit so I tuned in to his show too. From there that was it - a listener forever.
	5:11pm dreamyandseedy: my origin story is: in summer of 2018 a band i follow on social media said they were gonna play a live set on WFMU (which i'd never heard of) so i tuned in a little early and caught the end of Sheila's show and was hooked by her playlist with all the pictures and all the band names i was unfamiliar with! the show after Sheila's that i tuned in for didn't last longer than the summer but i never missed Sheila's show again and that was my gateway drug
	5:12pm listener james from westwood: No shit, back at the Metro?! I can attend again!
	🚽 5:12pm DjLorraine: ↳ Matt en Queens @5:05 Unless it's for the puppies to lay down 😉
	5:13pm Robm: ↳ dreamyandseedy @5:11 hopefully shelia b will be back soon
	5:13pm Bob Barth: "in charge of the flower girl" seems like entrapment.
	🚽 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was flipping stations one day and it stopped on 90.1. I remember Diane Kamikaze and Bronwyn C's shows in those days.
	🚽 5:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ dreamyandseedy @5:11 Well, you were clearly ready to get giddy!
	5:13pm Marie in Chicago: I remember go to the fair at the Metro and Terre T was dj'ing live! Go Ken and Jim! Hi All!
	5:15pm Matt en Queens: @DjLoraine - yes, exceptions for dogs will be made
	5:16pm Bobby: Took a call from Larry last night, super nice guy
	5:17pm Marie in Chicago: I had a beau who loved Dave the Spazz and the Hound. I was hooked thereafter.
	5:17pm Blanca: JONESY said the new neighbors were complaining. Is that true? Problem ahead?
	5:18pm Mike Sin: Origin story: Summer 1983. Hip dude in a music class: “You like a lot of these new garage bands? You should check out the DJ Bill Kelly on WFMU… 91.1 FM out of Jersey.” Tuned in the next week… Now more than 40 years later, I still have the illness.
	5:18pm Drewoj@yahoo.com: Ken.. origin story.. discovered fmu circa 1983 ish after going off to college in California pa. And meeting people with diverse musical interests. Yada Yada long time listener 2 time pledger. I may need a new fmu tee shirt.. how much for that?
	🚽 5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Drewoj@yahoo.com @5:18 $50 for a T-shirt!
	5:19pm Marc15: My WFMU origin story: I read in the Star Ledger that a DJ named Glen Jones would be attempting to break the Guinness Book Of World Record for most consecutive hours of the air Memorial Day Weekend 2001. I tuned in and listened to Glen Jones and I never looked back.
	🚽 5:19pm Handy Haversack: Escape from NY panel: wfmu.org...
	5:19pm listener 126464: Riding around in Stanley’s 280-Z and Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa playing on FMU. Circa 77-78.
	5:19pm listener james from westwood: Origin story: Sept. 14, 1992, I started my first real full-time publishing job, just up the road a piece. My new boss, Chris, aka Listener Chris from Bloomfield, said, "I listen to this weird college radio station. If it ever bugs you, I can change the channel." I was pledging by the 1993 Marathon, started volunteering in 1997, and it's been love ever since!
	5:20pm Drewoj@yahoo.com: I remember that
	5:21pm joe mulligan: the first time I heard of WFMU was a Daniel Johnston single "Speeding Motorcycle" I bought in 1990. But I didn't actually listen until I moved from SF to NJ in 2004. It was Tony Coulter. so weird I've kept it locked since
	5:21pm brendangen: I first consciously remember tuning into WFMU while working overnight at Newark Airport in 2005 and I’m still here. Ken, thanks for putting up with me asking you a bunch of questions and being a basic chatterbox at the Record Fair this year!
	5:22pm listener james from westwood: Alan Watts! Driveway/parking-lot radio—can't get outta the car until the episode is done! Same with Chris T, Joe Frank, Dave Emory, and Aerial View!
	🚽 5:23pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I loved Maria's show.
	5:23pm Officer Pupp: I can't tell you how much the UK needed John Peel, and how much WFMU fills that gap.
	5:24pm Listener Robert: I'm sure I heard WFMU accidentally a few times while mistuning WFUV in the early 1970s (for which I hardly needed a tuner in the Bronx), but I didn't become a listener until the fall of 1980 when some new friends of friends told me WFMU was one of about 3 northern NJ stations in the educational band had programs at night of a type of music I wanted to learn about: punk. I soon stopped listening to the others, and my listening spread to other WFMU DJs.
	5:24pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ Chris Crash @5:07 Yay Chris!
	5:24pm listener james from westwood: Pat Duncan! Where you could hear like 120 tracks over the course of 3 hours! Plus his Xmas shows were a gas!
	5:24pm Chris Crash: Thanks guys! This station is such a large part of my life
	5:24pm Ryan: Origin Story: I grew up in Union County NJ and have been listening to WFMU since I was in about 6 grade (1986 or so). When I was going to Rutgers I had a job where my boss had been a student at Upsala College in the 1970's (I think) and was on the staff of the station the year it became freeform. He told me that the students raised a load of money to buy a new transmitter and when they got back the next fall, the college had locked them all out of the studio. Now we see who has the last laugh!! I live in Maine now, and don't listen so often but still keep pledging because I want to be sure FMU is always there
	5:24pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Chris Crash @5:24 Thank you, Chris!
	🚽 5:25pm Levi: in 2010 I was screenprinting in New Paltz, NY, when a coworker, Ray Block, turned me on to the Dusty show when he learned of my love for sound collage. 14 years later still listening in Greeneville, TN.
	5:25pm UWS Joe: Tom Scharpling introduced me to WFMU but years later I’m still here!!!
	5:25pm Marie in Chicago: Thank you, Ken, for everything!
	5:25pm MarciB: Origin story: I started listening when FMU was Upsala College radio back c. 1980...I remember my first contribution and the cool t-shirt I got. If I were a designer I'd share what it looked like (tshirt long gone - but my superfandom is alive and well!)
	5:25pm Ramona: Origin story: In the early 80's, I came across WFMU by looking for college stations at the far left of the dial in the early AM. It was during a fundraiser and the DJ was raffling off a Dead Kennedy's album, some other album and a 45 by The Cramps. I pledged and won The Cramps 45 and have been listening and pledging ever since!
	🚽 5:26pm Will thee Sound Guy: I'm out, what did I miss
	5:27pm Bobby: Origin story: I moved to Elizabeth in 2012 and hated it. I heard Liz Berg on the radio and loved it. I remained in Elizabeth for 8 more years and became a volunteer and obsessive listener. Now I’m in the phone room. We won. Thanks, Liz Berg. Thanks, WFMU. Thanks, Elizabeth.
	🚽 5:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:26 Still working on hurricane-proofing the station. Hope to have the new music director hired soon. Record Fair in Manhattan this year at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Free listening on the web confirmed as a principle.
	5:28pm listener james from westwood: Plus when the dead Upsala campus caught fire and either Jones or Rob Weisberg did a live remote!
	🚽 5:28pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:27 Thanks Handy 👍🏻
	🚽 5:30pm Handy Haversack: $7,022 to the halfway goal!
	🚽 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:26 Jim the Poet origin story: introduced to Dave the Spazz's show and assumed each DJ needed a "the" in their name. Otherwise, he'd be simply known as Jim.
	5:30pm joe mulligan: ↳ Ryan @5:24 wild!
	🚽 5:31pm PaulRobeson1924: The spontaneity!
	5:31pm Listener Robert: Ken, don't dis the great automation you have on the alternate streams. The bunny rambo on Rock & Soul is a gas, as are the clips of The Weatherman on Sheila's Jungle.
	🚽 5:31pm PaulRobeson1924: Anything can happen and it could be right now
	5:32pm Listener Robert: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:30 So did Nick the Bard rip off Jim the's name?
	🚽 5:32pm HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @5:31 Don't forget about drenching the RnS DJs in groovy reverb!
	5:32pm Sailor: Rock on WFMU
	5:32pm Chris Crash: I love The Bunny -- it always comes through with my garage rock requests
	5:33pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:22 Watts and Frank were my first two shows. Discovered them driving home from work, stuck in traffic on Tonelle avenue in 1993
	5:33pm Sufferwords: Origin- Living on the 9th floor 74 Fifth Ave at 13th - 1983 - I'm from L.A. - was only in NYC. for 6 months - then the internet and was kicking it at Choke scooter shop on Virgil- and my boy Jeff Johnson has it on- KXLU was cool- other eras KPFK KPPC - none delivered on the promise as FMU has
	🚽 5:33pm lazy pierogi: what about the continuous coke ads on the rock'n'soul stream?
	5:33pm Sailor: Miss living in the area to help volunteer and hangout at the mothership, but prophetize the station everywhere I run.
	🚽 5:34pm PaulRobeson1924: WFMU “Home of the ROCK”
	🚽 5:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ lazy pierogi @5:33 Those are rough.
	🚽 5:35pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ lazy pierogi @5:33 Those are a call back, of sorts. You understand? Like a flashback but wayyy better
	🚽 5:35pm Will thee Sound Guy: Times are tough, times are really tough...
	🚽 5:35pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My FMU origin story: When I moved to NY in 2001 I had two artist friends who shared a studio and kind of hated each other. They both loved FMU but they argued about it all the time--whether the daytime or nighttime DJs were better, who were the best DJs, whether Ken played too many mash-ups etc. One of them gave me a ripped CD-R of a marathon premium (maybe one of Charlie's?) and I was hooked. My first favorite line-up was Ken, Irwin, and Kenny G on Wednesdays, Trouble was my first radio crush, but I've listened more or less 24/7, live or via archives, since then. I can't imagine life without it.
	5:35pm Mark in Boonton: Origin story: I worked at a bookstore in North Jersey, the Happy Booker, in the late 80's and the manager introduced me to WFMU. Spent much of high school listening to Truckstop Tea Party, Alan Watts, and Joe Frank.
	5:36pm Yes: Blessings Jim and Ken
	5:36pm brendangen: ↳ Sailor @5:33 There’s been so many times when I’m wearing WFMU related shirts on video calls in this work from home era that I need to explain and accidentally become a WFMU evangelist about. Particularly anything that says “wake and bake” at chest height or above, or the pink semi bdsm shirt from a few years ago.
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Central fact of our time : More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. As Michael Pollan observed re food packaging : It may still be the Ma & Pa Farm on the label (...& still look like it used to) - that sure ain't what's really happening anymore. In other words - all our Media (& really, all our everything) is Corporate & Top Down. FMU comes off flippant - to maintain its sanity - but it is the Resistance more than perhaps we remember. But perhaps not - because I know we value it dearly. ...As for where I found out about it - oddly - I don't recall !! Probly just searching iTunes for Alt Streamers...
	5:37pm Bobby: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:35 A+
	5:37pm Sailor: ↳ brendangen @5:36 Helps that the swag is so dope. Everyone loves that sweater from last year's marathon.
	🚽 5:37pm PaulRobeson1924: HI, WE’RE THE CHIFFONS
	🚽 5:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My God, the PTSD. That's exactly what it was like.
	5:38pm erik: I grew up in Northfield MN where Carleton College had a low wattage campus station (only on air during term) when I moved to NYC for college in '89 I knew to search the low end of the dial. I never learned to accept commercials on radio. Mr Fine Wine is one of the first I remember following. Incorrect Music was also a fav.
	🚽 5:38pm Will thee Sound Guy: Just imagine if everyone who listens gave $20...
	🚽 5:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Radio Row has been so consistently great.
	🚽 5:40pm HyperDose: Shout out free lossless audio codec and RAID systems!
	5:40pm carolyn in Hoboken: I really enjoy the State of the Station. Thank you!
	5:40pm Ramona: Hi Ken, when will the station set up for displaying the name and artist of songs on newer car radios? Couldn’t it be done via play list already being created by the DJ’s or via RDS or RDBS protocols?
	5:41pm Ross: Love the station. Love the swag!!! How do we contribute to the other shows not listed on the pledge page? My kids and I love double dip recess in Sheena’s Jungle
	5:41pm Jay: Moved to North NJ in Sept 2001. Found 'FMU via JM in the AM. Listener ever since! Love the changes thru the years...
	🚽 5:41pm Will thee Sound Guy: Never enough backups
	5:41pm listener mark the verified real mad professor: so just started listening today..was looking for. something original, creative..sadly disappointed.. only one I like joe mcgasko...rest of em pretty lame..can't win em all..only one in denver who listens... Emma stone for best actress.john Allen pretty good..Ken music director..past his prime ..but grandfathered in..
	5:41pm Sailor: Origin story: Found a collection of burned cds on a stoop walking home from work in Brooklyn. Wrote a blog post after listening to all 130 of them, and a co-worker flagged I might dig the station. Immediately started volunteering, and eventually helped out on Wake for a short bit. Was a highlight of my time in NYC, even if it led to a lot of waking up at 4am on Monday's to cart to the station.
	5:41pm erik: ↳ Ramona @5:40 sometimes it comes up on my car, but mostly not, not sure why.
	5:41pm P-90: Will some of the FLAC files potentially be available for streaming at some point in the future?
	5:42pm Marie in Chicago: I love Tectonic Plate Unity
	5:42pm Chris Hiatt: It was either 2015 (Clay Pigeon attending a presidential nomination convention?) or 2016(?) when my wife would be listening to Matty Warwick in the home office. From there I got hooked in.
	5:42pm Ivan from Woodbridge: I know of no other station that archives to this extent. Just the other day I heard a DJ on BBC 6 bragging that all their shows were available in their archives for a whopping 30 days
	🚽 5:42pm HyperDose: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:41 True that audio homie!
	🚽 5:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:37 Ha!
	🚽 5:42pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Sailor @5:41 were they marathon CDs?
	5:42pm Ryan: I randomly tuned in and heard this was the pledge drive. When I tune into NPR and there is a pledge drive, I turn it off. When it's a WFMU pledge drive, I keep listening
	5:42pm MarciB: And the same process used for those radio archives (triple redundancy back ups) is the same thing as you should do with your digital photos! Love hearing this.
	5:43pm Marie in Chicago: not a real doctor---@)
	5:43pm Listener Robert: I hear Real Audio Media is coming back! Alongside perforated tin discs!!
	🚽 5:43pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ HyperDose @5:42 🩷🎶
	5:43pm alanSixº: haha great movie - tarantino stole the needle scene
	🚽 5:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ramona @5:40 This was actually happening last year? Is it not anymore? It was a whole thing I remember Ken talking about.
	5:43pm Sailor: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:42 Nope! But they had good taste. One of the first ones that caught my eye was a burned copy of Bob Dylan's Old Time Radio Show's Halloween show.
	🚽 5:44pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @5:42 Their tastes really were pretty divergent but they both talked about FMU all the time.
	🚽 5:44pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Sailor @5:43 Nice. Do you have a link to your post?
	5:45pm Jim the Poet: Thanks everyone for your pledges and comments!
	5:45pm Chris J from Bloomfield: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:19 Hey, James -- them were the days! Still remember managing the workday by listening to the station!
	5:45pm lm mad professor: hooked on fmu...saved my life .. former heroin..meth head tweaker...and dealer..gone straight to the mainstream muzak...safer ..
	5:45pm Chris Crisco: Make America Golf Again
	🚽 5:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:44 So are mine. So do I. At least according to my friends. I ended D&D an hour early so I could listen to this today!
	🚽 5:45pm HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @5:43 And more steelbooks (hopefully)
	5:46pm TonyR: APPZ!
	5:46pm Kat in the chat: AMAZING
	5:46pm dave: Hyped!
	5:46pm Hello Dave: WFMU is like LSD. You don't find it, it finds YOU when you're ready. I guess I was ready around last Summer. It's helped me through some hard times last year. Now, I'm just waiting for my paycheck next Friday to pledge.
	🚽 5:46pm HyperDose: Can't wait for the bunker!
	5:46pm Marie in Chicago: I adored Kenny G
	🚽 5:47pm Handy Haversack: Ah, I never knew the app had a limited archive access.
	5:47pm Bob Barth: IT NEEDS THE (I FEEL LUCKY) i love that feature!
	5:47pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Bob Barth @5:47 Thank you, Bob
	5:47pm P-90: EVERYTHING should have an “I Feel Lucky” button
	5:47pm Adam West Coaster: My Castle of Quiet! Yayyyy!
	🚽 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hello Dave @5:46 Love this. It's helped us through some hard times, too. You can always pledge now and pay later if you want.
	🚽 5:48pm PaulRobeson1924: Oooo come on, teen beat, yer coming on, teen beat
	5:48pm Bob Barth: ↳ Jim the Poet @5:47 You're welcome, & I agree with you, I am great!
	5:49pm Marc15: Does anyone remember the WFMU DJ who read old traffic reports during his entire show? I believe it happened in the Summer of 2010 or 2011
	5:49pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Marc15 @5:49 Might've been Kenny G?
	🚽 5:49pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marie in Chicago @5:46 I've gone back to his archives recently and it's just bonkers how much good stuff is there. I loved this show with Alex Ross: wfmu.org...
	5:49pm TonyR: Also a fan of Transmitter Talk.
	5:50pm Ike: Transmitter talk for the win!
	5:50pm Tommy in Neversink: I love transmitter talk too
	🚽 5:50pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ listener james from westwood @5:49 Yes, that's the formula for his book Traffic.
	5:51pm Bob Barth: We NEED to create a crazy bullshit WFMU viral story.
	🚽 5:51pm HyperDose: Yay new transmitters!
	5:51pm Tommy in Neversink: OMG I sent the stolen transmitter story to Ken's FB page...I'm embarrassed
	🚽 5:51pm Will thee Sound Guy: Move the rockland transmitter to mt beacon... Please
	5:51pm Pete Pain: ↳ Song: "Pledge with your WFMU Origin Story!" by "Ken and ... Origin Story? I grew up in Canada then lived in Asia for a few years before moving to Brooklyn in 98. Always scanned the dial wherever I was living in the hopes of finding the weird and wonderful. Then when I hit Brooklyn, tuned in to Jones and XRay and well, the rest is history.
	5:51pm listener james from westwood: Just imagining three or four spare transmitters leaning against the back of the station like huge beach umbrellas furled during the winter. . . .
	🚽 5:51pm Handy Haversack: BOBBY!
	🚽 5:52pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marc15 @5:49 Part 1 of Traffic here: wfmu.org...
	5:52pm dreamyandseedy: lookit how many people also love transmitter talk
	5:52pm Tommy in Neversink: My life depends on the 90.1 transmitter
	🚽 5:52pm Handy Haversack: WILL!
	5:52pm TonyR: ↳ Bob Barth @5:51 Did you hear the one about the radio station which put Charles Manson on a highway billboard?
	5:52pm Audiocarp: I don’t think it’s fair that Fox’s show was cut down to two hours due to Daylight Saving Time this morning. Why not take half an hour from the succeeding show in the future?
	5:52pm Bobby: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:51 I left you a note by the printer. Pay attention
	5:52pm Listener Robert: If you do go anywhere more with signal, down the shore should be in the running. Right now it hits an iron curtain just south of the Raritan.
	🚽 5:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bobby @5:52 I have three days in which to learn to read. I am on it.
	🚽 5:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: Lazers man
	5:53pm Stanley: That year when those shows left was a serious threat to the station. But the listeners were amazing and pulled it through
	🚽 5:53pm PaulRobeson1924: Back to copper! Back to the land!
	🚽 5:54pm HyperDose: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:53 Mounted on sharks!
	5:54pm Deano de los Muertos: “So Ken has 3 shows and Creamo Coyl has 0?” — that guy 😆
	🚽 5:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Stanley @5:53 I worried when Sheila left, too.
	5:54pm Bob Barth: ↳ TonyR @5:52 LOL - I HAVE heard that one. We need to up the ante. Maybe SATAN in the guise of Jim The Poet has been sent to WFMU to steal our babies.
	5:54pm TonyR: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @5:53 Go outside and rub your hands on the copper.
	5:54pm mr 6: Jerry from Putnam said he’s been a volunteer signal monitor and the Rockland tower is currently on its longest running without any crashes
	5:54pm Audiocarp: I have heard glitches on 91.1 but nowhere near as many as WNYC
	5:55pm Regina J: Bill Berger’s show was what first got me into WFMU. I guess it was in the mid-to-late 1980s, and I’ve loved the station ever since. Thank goodness it’s still on the air/ I can’t imagine having to do without it.
	🚽 5:56pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Ken, Jim, Volunteers, and all the Pledgers!!!!
	5:56pm Deano de los Muertos: “A 2 hour excursion to nowhere”
	5:56pm Stanley: When are we going to get live action avatars?
	5:56pm alanSixº: great SOS yous two
	🚽 5:56pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:54 Had no idea of Sheila's reach til I checked out her website. Loved SBB dearly. Even moreso that she's a metal fan \m/
	5:56pm luka: not that other State of the Stations were doom and gloom, this one feels like the station is in a generally good place. long live.
	5:57pm listener 126464: ↳ Listener Robert @5:52 It mingles with a classical station, but it’s the 2nd best thing to listening to FMU.
	5:57pm Chris J from Bloomfield: Origin story: I think I read about WFMU while I was attending college in the Chicago area. Then I moved back to New Jersey. First started listening to WLIR, then moved over completely to WFMU starting in 1983 or 1984. Donated for the first time around then, to Bill Kelly's show.
	5:57pm Hello Dave: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:47 I might do that, but I wanted to pledge to Wake, since that's my go-to show in the morning. Thanks for the tip!
	🚽 5:57pm HyperDose: ↳ luka @5:56 For real. This makes me happy!
	5:57pm RevErie: Thanks Ken and everyone else keeping this station going!
	5:58pm Marc15: One more archive question. Does anyone remember an overnight WFMU DJ who played answering machine messages of a woman threatening to kill her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend? The messages grew more and more disturbing and terrifying as they went on. This show would have been on in early January 2005. I remember that because it was the same week my grandmother passed away and I had horrible insomnia. I don’t remember the DJs name so I couldn’t look it up.

	6:01pm Chris Hiatt: Thanks, gents!
	6:03pm David Chrone: In '73 I discovered woofmoo living in northern NJ. Lost it when I moved to Baltimore but found a similar station WGTB from Georgetown University in DC. It was a great station. I later moved to Phoenix and re discovered WFMU through streaming about 7 years ago. Been listening and donating ever since. Rock On!
	🚽 6:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marc15 @5:58 In 2005 a bunch of DJs played from a release called "The Answer Tapes" that was all found audio. But not as early as January 2005. wfmu.org...
	6:10pm Deano de los Muertos: Not sure what year I first started listening, but a childhood friend got a PA job working for Andy on Monk (he was already a big Best Show fan) and I started listening on my own to Shut Up, Weirdo! and Put the Needle on the Record….Garbage Time shortly followed
	6:24pm My New Heart Loves WFMU: In 2019, while undergoing a hospital stay for a heart transplant, I somehow came across WFMU online. It was the transition between Clay and someone else, maybe Matt, and they were discussing Gum Elevators (a midwestern thing, apparently). I credit WFMU with my surviving the transplant with my sanity mostly intact. Became a Swag For Lifer, You all do incredible work. Say hi to Amanda for me! Fred H. in Delhi, NY
	🚽 6:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Regina J @5:55 Rise William Rise!

	6:38pm cvh: ↳ Marc15 @5:58 Here is the fall 2004-2005 WFMU schedule, maybe this could help narrow down which DJ it was ... https://tinyurl.com/55hye88b
	3:10pm Michael 98145: I'm sure a Liz Berg podcast was the bait that hauled me in.
	9:21am jeremyo: So cool to hear about your forthcoming archives app. I remember The Great Archive Crisis. After you'd retrieved all you could did it leave any gaps? I'm probably not the only listener to have a good number of MP3s stored from the last 20+ years, maybe we can help...

	5:05pm James in ATL: Woohoo! State it, Ken!
	🚽 5:05pm HyperDose: 45% of the way there baby!
	5:05pm Matt en Queens: Howdy all! Let’s keep the chants of “you lie” down…
	5:05pm Officer Pupp: Bizarrely one of the must-listens of the year for me.
	5:05pm joe mulligan: Rise, Wm., rise!
	🚽 5:05pm lazy pierogi: ¿donde esta el dinero?
	5:06pm Ike: I like the 91.9 NYC translator. How is it doing? Is it performing to expectations?
	5:06pm Jim the Poet: Let's gooooo! Send in a pledge and let us know your WFMU origin story. Also send a quesiont!
	5:06pm joe mulligan: ↳ Matt en Queens @5:05 hahaha! and also no comedic response from sally struthers/tammy faye baker
	5:07pm Ramona: Always look forward to the annual state of the station with Ken!
	5:07pm Chris Crash: My WFMU origin story as it stands right now -- I've been listening to Terre T's show since high school, and now I'm her AP!
	5:08pm joe mulligan: ↳ joe mulligan @5:06 (meaning no answer from Katie Britt)
	🚽 5:09pm HyperDose: Suzy's grand prize is crazy. Ramones 7 LP set!
	5:09pm Robm: ↳ joe mulligan @5:08 katie britt would not know what this station is
	5:09pm jenni matz: Just pledged. YAY KEN! happy to support my favorite station and favorite former boss Ken. My origin story: listening to 91.1 while working in edgewater, NJ started volunteering at the station back in EAST ORANGE and helped paint the new station in JC when it occurred to me i was a terrible painter but decent producer and convinced ken to let me produce the wfmu record fair-- back in 1998! miss you all!
	5:09pm dreamyandseedy: Hi Ken and Jim! excited to hear state of the station
	5:09pm moparlarry: Question- the “terrestrial” signal on 91.1 seems to have gotten worse- drifts a lot and seems harder to tune in especially on a car radio. What’s changed and can it be improved. Long time listener since 1978.
	5:09pm Ivan from Woodbridge: I applied to four colleges. The first one to accept me was Upsala college. I went elsewhere but checked out their radio station.
	🚽 5:10pm HyperDose: Jim wears the most hats I've ever seen 🎩👒⛑️🎓
	5:11pm Officer Pupp: My origin story as a UK listener is that I was a fan of Laura Cantrell and heard that she had a show on WFMU, so in about 2000 or so I started listening in over the internet. At about the same time I bought a Nina Nastasia CD off Andy Waltzer and we emailed a little bit so I tuned in to his show too. From there that was it - a listener forever.
	5:11pm dreamyandseedy: my origin story is: in summer of 2018 a band i follow on social media said they were gonna play a live set on WFMU (which i'd never heard of) so i tuned in a little early and caught the end of Sheila's show and was hooked by her playlist with all the pictures and all the band names i was unfamiliar with! the show after Sheila's that i tuned in for didn't last longer than the summer but i never missed Sheila's show again and that was my gateway drug
	5:12pm listener james from westwood: No shit, back at the Metro?! I can attend again!
	🚽 5:12pm DjLorraine: ↳ Matt en Queens @5:05 Unless it's for the puppies to lay down 😉
	5:13pm Robm: ↳ dreamyandseedy @5:11 hopefully shelia b will be back soon
	5:13pm Bob Barth: "in charge of the flower girl" seems like entrapment.
	🚽 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was flipping stations one day and it stopped on 90.1. I remember Diane Kamikaze and Bronwyn C's shows in those days.
	🚽 5:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ dreamyandseedy @5:11 Well, you were clearly ready to get giddy!
	5:13pm Marie in Chicago: I remember go to the fair at the Metro and Terre T was dj'ing live! Go Ken and Jim! Hi All!
	5:15pm Matt en Queens: @DjLoraine - yes, exceptions for dogs will be made
	5:16pm Bobby: Took a call from Larry last night, super nice guy
	5:17pm Marie in Chicago: I had a beau who loved Dave the Spazz and the Hound. I was hooked thereafter.
	5:17pm Blanca: JONESY said the new neighbors were complaining. Is that true? Problem ahead?
	5:18pm Mike Sin: Origin story: Summer 1983. Hip dude in a music class: “You like a lot of these new garage bands? You should check out the DJ Bill Kelly on WFMU… 91.1 FM out of Jersey.” Tuned in the next week… Now more than 40 years later, I still have the illness.
	5:18pm Drewoj@yahoo.com: Ken.. origin story.. discovered fmu circa 1983 ish after going off to college in California pa. And meeting people with diverse musical interests. Yada Yada long time listener 2 time pledger. I may need a new fmu tee shirt.. how much for that?
	🚽 5:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Drewoj@yahoo.com @5:18 $50 for a T-shirt!
	5:19pm Marc15: My WFMU origin story: I read in the Star Ledger that a DJ named Glen Jones would be attempting to break the Guinness Book Of World Record for most consecutive hours of the air Memorial Day Weekend 2001. I tuned in and listened to Glen Jones and I never looked back.
	🚽 5:19pm Handy Haversack: Escape from NY panel: wfmu.org...
	5:19pm listener 126464: Riding around in Stanley’s 280-Z and Manu Dibango’s Soul Makossa playing on FMU. Circa 77-78.
	5:19pm listener james from westwood: Origin story: Sept. 14, 1992, I started my first real full-time publishing job, just up the road a piece. My new boss, Chris, aka Listener Chris from Bloomfield, said, "I listen to this weird college radio station. If it ever bugs you, I can change the channel." I was pledging by the 1993 Marathon, started volunteering in 1997, and it's been love ever since!
	5:20pm Drewoj@yahoo.com: I remember that
	5:21pm joe mulligan: the first time I heard of WFMU was a Daniel Johnston single "Speeding Motorcycle" I bought in 1990. But I didn't actually listen until I moved from SF to NJ in 2004. It was Tony Coulter. so weird I've kept it locked since
	5:21pm brendangen: I first consciously remember tuning into WFMU while working overnight at Newark Airport in 2005 and I’m still here. Ken, thanks for putting up with me asking you a bunch of questions and being a basic chatterbox at the Record Fair this year!
	5:22pm listener james from westwood: Alan Watts! Driveway/parking-lot radio—can't get outta the car until the episode is done! Same with Chris T, Joe Frank, Dave Emory, and Aerial View!
	🚽 5:23pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I loved Maria's show.
	5:23pm Officer Pupp: I can't tell you how much the UK needed John Peel, and how much WFMU fills that gap.
	5:24pm Listener Robert: I'm sure I heard WFMU accidentally a few times while mistuning WFUV in the early 1970s (for which I hardly needed a tuner in the Bronx), but I didn't become a listener until the fall of 1980 when some new friends of friends told me WFMU was one of about 3 northern NJ stations in the educational band had programs at night of a type of music I wanted to learn about: punk. I soon stopped listening to the others, and my listening spread to other WFMU DJs.
	5:24pm Mike From Brooklyn: ↳ Chris Crash @5:07 Yay Chris!
	5:24pm listener james from westwood: Pat Duncan! Where you could hear like 120 tracks over the course of 3 hours! Plus his Xmas shows were a gas!
	5:24pm Chris Crash: Thanks guys! This station is such a large part of my life
	5:24pm Ryan: Origin Story: I grew up in Union County NJ and have been listening to WFMU since I was in about 6 grade (1986 or so). When I was going to Rutgers I had a job where my boss had been a student at Upsala College in the 1970's (I think) and was on the staff of the station the year it became freeform. He told me that the students raised a load of money to buy a new transmitter and when they got back the next fall, the college had locked them all out of the studio. Now we see who has the last laugh!! I live in Maine now, and don't listen so often but still keep pledging because I want to be sure FMU is always there
	5:24pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Chris Crash @5:24 Thank you, Chris!
	🚽 5:25pm Levi: in 2010 I was screenprinting in New Paltz, NY, when a coworker, Ray Block, turned me on to the Dusty show when he learned of my love for sound collage. 14 years later still listening in Greeneville, TN.
	5:25pm UWS Joe: Tom Scharpling introduced me to WFMU but years later I’m still here!!!
	5:25pm Marie in Chicago: Thank you, Ken, for everything!
	5:25pm MarciB: Origin story: I started listening when FMU was Upsala College radio back c. 1980...I remember my first contribution and the cool t-shirt I got. If I were a designer I'd share what it looked like (tshirt long gone - but my superfandom is alive and well!)
	5:25pm Ramona: Origin story: In the early 80's, I came across WFMU by looking for college stations at the far left of the dial in the early AM. It was during a fundraiser and the DJ was raffling off a Dead Kennedy's album, some other album and a 45 by The Cramps. I pledged and won The Cramps 45 and have been listening and pledging ever since!
	🚽 5:26pm Will thee Sound Guy: I'm out, what did I miss
	5:27pm Bobby: Origin story: I moved to Elizabeth in 2012 and hated it. I heard Liz Berg on the radio and loved it. I remained in Elizabeth for 8 more years and became a volunteer and obsessive listener. Now I’m in the phone room. We won. Thanks, Liz Berg. Thanks, WFMU. Thanks, Elizabeth.
	🚽 5:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:26 Still working on hurricane-proofing the station. Hope to have the new music director hired soon. Record Fair in Manhattan this year at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Free listening on the web confirmed as a principle.
	5:28pm listener james from westwood: Plus when the dead Upsala campus caught fire and either Jones or Rob Weisberg did a live remote!
	🚽 5:28pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:27 Thanks Handy 👍🏻
	🚽 5:30pm Handy Haversack: $7,022 to the halfway goal!
	🚽 5:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:26 Jim the Poet origin story: introduced to Dave the Spazz's show and assumed each DJ needed a "the" in their name. Otherwise, he'd be simply known as Jim.
	5:30pm joe mulligan: ↳ Ryan @5:24 wild!
	🚽 5:31pm PaulRobeson1924: The spontaneity!
	5:31pm Listener Robert: Ken, don't dis the great automation you have on the alternate streams. The bunny rambo on Rock & Soul is a gas, as are the clips of The Weatherman on Sheila's Jungle.
	🚽 5:31pm PaulRobeson1924: Anything can happen and it could be right now
	5:32pm Listener Robert: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:30 So did Nick the Bard rip off Jim the's name?
	🚽 5:32pm HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @5:31 Don't forget about drenching the RnS DJs in groovy reverb!
	5:32pm Sailor: Rock on WFMU
	5:32pm Chris Crash: I love The Bunny -- it always comes through with my garage rock requests
	5:33pm Ivan from Woodbridge: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:22 Watts and Frank were my first two shows. Discovered them driving home from work, stuck in traffic on Tonelle avenue in 1993
	5:33pm Sufferwords: Origin- Living on the 9th floor 74 Fifth Ave at 13th - 1983 - I'm from L.A. - was only in NYC. for 6 months - then the internet and was kicking it at Choke scooter shop on Virgil- and my boy Jeff Johnson has it on- KXLU was cool- other eras KPFK KPPC - none delivered on the promise as FMU has
	🚽 5:33pm lazy pierogi: what about the continuous coke ads on the rock'n'soul stream?
	5:33pm Sailor: Miss living in the area to help volunteer and hangout at the mothership, but prophetize the station everywhere I run.
	🚽 5:34pm PaulRobeson1924: WFMU “Home of the ROCK”
	🚽 5:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ lazy pierogi @5:33 Those are rough.
	🚽 5:35pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ lazy pierogi @5:33 Those are a call back, of sorts. You understand? Like a flashback but wayyy better
	🚽 5:35pm Will thee Sound Guy: Times are tough, times are really tough...
	🚽 5:35pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My FMU origin story: When I moved to NY in 2001 I had two artist friends who shared a studio and kind of hated each other. They both loved FMU but they argued about it all the time--whether the daytime or nighttime DJs were better, who were the best DJs, whether Ken played too many mash-ups etc. One of them gave me a ripped CD-R of a marathon premium (maybe one of Charlie's?) and I was hooked. My first favorite line-up was Ken, Irwin, and Kenny G on Wednesdays, Trouble was my first radio crush, but I've listened more or less 24/7, live or via archives, since then. I can't imagine life without it.
	5:35pm Mark in Boonton: Origin story: I worked at a bookstore in North Jersey, the Happy Booker, in the late 80's and the manager introduced me to WFMU. Spent much of high school listening to Truckstop Tea Party, Alan Watts, and Joe Frank.
	5:36pm Yes: Blessings Jim and Ken
	5:36pm brendangen: ↳ Sailor @5:33 There’s been so many times when I’m wearing WFMU related shirts on video calls in this work from home era that I need to explain and accidentally become a WFMU evangelist about. Particularly anything that says “wake and bake” at chest height or above, or the pink semi bdsm shirt from a few years ago.
	5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Central fact of our time : More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. As Michael Pollan observed re food packaging : It may still be the Ma & Pa Farm on the label (...& still look like it used to) - that sure ain't what's really happening anymore. In other words - all our Media (& really, all our everything) is Corporate & Top Down. FMU comes off flippant - to maintain its sanity - but it is the Resistance more than perhaps we remember. But perhaps not - because I know we value it dearly. ...As for where I found out about it - oddly - I don't recall !! Probly just searching iTunes for Alt Streamers...
	5:37pm Bobby: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:35 A+
	5:37pm Sailor: ↳ brendangen @5:36 Helps that the swag is so dope. Everyone loves that sweater from last year's marathon.
	🚽 5:37pm PaulRobeson1924: HI, WE’RE THE CHIFFONS
	🚽 5:37pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My God, the PTSD. That's exactly what it was like.
	5:38pm erik: I grew up in Northfield MN where Carleton College had a low wattage campus station (only on air during term) when I moved to NYC for college in '89 I knew to search the low end of the dial. I never learned to accept commercials on radio. Mr Fine Wine is one of the first I remember following. Incorrect Music was also a fav.
	🚽 5:38pm Will thee Sound Guy: Just imagine if everyone who listens gave $20...
	🚽 5:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Radio Row has been so consistently great.
	🚽 5:40pm HyperDose: Shout out free lossless audio codec and RAID systems!
	5:40pm carolyn in Hoboken: I really enjoy the State of the Station. Thank you!
	5:40pm Ramona: Hi Ken, when will the station set up for displaying the name and artist of songs on newer car radios? Couldn’t it be done via play list already being created by the DJ’s or via RDS or RDBS protocols?
	5:41pm Ross: Love the station. Love the swag!!! How do we contribute to the other shows not listed on the pledge page? My kids and I love double dip recess in Sheena’s Jungle
	5:41pm Jay: Moved to North NJ in Sept 2001. Found 'FMU via JM in the AM. Listener ever since! Love the changes thru the years...
	🚽 5:41pm Will thee Sound Guy: Never enough backups
	5:41pm listener mark the verified real mad professor: so just started listening today..was looking for. something original, creative..sadly disappointed.. only one I like joe mcgasko...rest of em pretty lame..can't win em all..only one in denver who listens... Emma stone for best actress.john Allen pretty good..Ken music director..past his prime ..but grandfathered in..
	5:41pm Sailor: Origin story: Found a collection of burned cds on a stoop walking home from work in Brooklyn. Wrote a blog post after listening to all 130 of them, and a co-worker flagged I might dig the station. Immediately started volunteering, and eventually helped out on Wake for a short bit. Was a highlight of my time in NYC, even if it led to a lot of waking up at 4am on Monday's to cart to the station.
	5:41pm erik: ↳ Ramona @5:40 sometimes it comes up on my car, but mostly not, not sure why.
	5:41pm P-90: Will some of the FLAC files potentially be available for streaming at some point in the future?
	5:42pm Marie in Chicago: I love Tectonic Plate Unity
	5:42pm Chris Hiatt: It was either 2015 (Clay Pigeon attending a presidential nomination convention?) or 2016(?) when my wife would be listening to Matty Warwick in the home office. From there I got hooked in.
	5:42pm Ivan from Woodbridge: I know of no other station that archives to this extent. Just the other day I heard a DJ on BBC 6 bragging that all their shows were available in their archives for a whopping 30 days
	🚽 5:42pm HyperDose: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:41 True that audio homie!
	🚽 5:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:37 Ha!
	🚽 5:42pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Sailor @5:41 were they marathon CDs?
	5:42pm Ryan: I randomly tuned in and heard this was the pledge drive. When I tune into NPR and there is a pledge drive, I turn it off. When it's a WFMU pledge drive, I keep listening
	5:42pm MarciB: And the same process used for those radio archives (triple redundancy back ups) is the same thing as you should do with your digital photos! Love hearing this.
	5:43pm Marie in Chicago: not a real doctor---@)
	5:43pm Listener Robert: I hear Real Audio Media is coming back! Alongside perforated tin discs!!
	🚽 5:43pm Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ HyperDose @5:42 🩷🎶
	5:43pm alanSixº: haha great movie - tarantino stole the needle scene
	🚽 5:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ramona @5:40 This was actually happening last year? Is it not anymore? It was a whole thing I remember Ken talking about.
	5:43pm Sailor: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:42 Nope! But they had good taste. One of the first ones that caught my eye was a burned copy of Bob Dylan's Old Time Radio Show's Halloween show.
	🚽 5:44pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @5:42 Their tastes really were pretty divergent but they both talked about FMU all the time.
	🚽 5:44pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Sailor @5:43 Nice. Do you have a link to your post?
	5:45pm Jim the Poet: Thanks everyone for your pledges and comments!
	5:45pm Chris J from Bloomfield: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:19 Hey, James -- them were the days! Still remember managing the workday by listening to the station!
	5:45pm lm mad professor: hooked on fmu...saved my life .. former heroin..meth head tweaker...and dealer..gone straight to the mainstream muzak...safer ..
	5:45pm Chris Crisco: Make America Golf Again
	🚽 5:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:44 So are mine. So do I. At least according to my friends. I ended D&D an hour early so I could listen to this today!
	🚽 5:45pm HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @5:43 And more steelbooks (hopefully)
	5:46pm TonyR: APPZ!
	5:46pm Kat in the chat: AMAZING
	5:46pm dave: Hyped!
	5:46pm Hello Dave: WFMU is like LSD. You don't find it, it finds YOU when you're ready. I guess I was ready around last Summer. It's helped me through some hard times last year. Now, I'm just waiting for my paycheck next Friday to pledge.
	🚽 5:46pm HyperDose: Can't wait for the bunker!
	5:46pm Marie in Chicago: I adored Kenny G
	🚽 5:47pm Handy Haversack: Ah, I never knew the app had a limited archive access.
	5:47pm Bob Barth: IT NEEDS THE (I FEEL LUCKY) i love that feature!
	5:47pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Bob Barth @5:47 Thank you, Bob
	5:47pm P-90: EVERYTHING should have an “I Feel Lucky” button
	5:47pm Adam West Coaster: My Castle of Quiet! Yayyyy!
	🚽 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hello Dave @5:46 Love this. It's helped us through some hard times, too. You can always pledge now and pay later if you want.
	🚽 5:48pm PaulRobeson1924: Oooo come on, teen beat, yer coming on, teen beat
	5:48pm Bob Barth: ↳ Jim the Poet @5:47 You're welcome, & I agree with you, I am great!
	5:49pm Marc15: Does anyone remember the WFMU DJ who read old traffic reports during his entire show? I believe it happened in the Summer of 2010 or 2011
	5:49pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Marc15 @5:49 Might've been Kenny G?
	🚽 5:49pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marie in Chicago @5:46 I've gone back to his archives recently and it's just bonkers how much good stuff is there. I loved this show with Alex Ross: wfmu.org...
	5:49pm TonyR: Also a fan of Transmitter Talk.
	5:50pm Ike: Transmitter talk for the win!
	5:50pm Tommy in Neversink: I love transmitter talk too
	🚽 5:50pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ listener james from westwood @5:49 Yes, that's the formula for his book Traffic.
	5:51pm Bob Barth: We NEED to create a crazy bullshit WFMU viral story.
	🚽 5:51pm HyperDose: Yay new transmitters!

Always scanned the dial wherever I was living in the hopes of finding the weird and wonderful. Then when I hit Brooklyn, tuned in to Jones and XRay and well, the rest is history.
	5:51pm listener james from westwood: Just imagining three or four spare transmitters leaning against the back of the station like huge beach umbrellas furled during the winter. . . .
	🚽 5:51pm Handy Haversack: BOBBY!
	🚽 5:52pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marc15 @5:49 Part 1 of Traffic here: wfmu.org...

	🚽 5:52pm Handy Haversack: WILL!
	5:52pm TonyR: ↳ Bob Barth @5:51 Did you hear the one about the radio station which put Charles Manson on a highway billboard?
	5:52pm Audiocarp: I don’t think it’s fair that Fox’s show was cut down to two hours due to Daylight Saving Time this morning. Why not take half an hour from the succeeding show in the future?
	5:52pm Bobby: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:51 I left you a note by the printer. Pay attention
	5:52pm Listener Robert: If you do go anywhere more with signal, down the shore should be in the running. Right now it hits an iron curtain just south of the Raritan.
	🚽 5:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bobby @5:52 I have three days in which to learn to read. I am on it.
	🚽 5:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: Lazers man
	5:53pm Stanley: That year when those shows left was a serious threat to the station. But the listeners were amazing and pulled it through
	🚽 5:53pm PaulRobeson1924: Back to copper! Back to the land!
	🚽 5:54pm HyperDose: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @5:53 Mounted on sharks!

	5:54pm Bob Barth: ↳ TonyR @5:52 LOL - I HAVE heard that one. We need to up the ante. Maybe SATAN in the guise of Jim The Poet has been sent to WFMU to steal our babies.
	5:54pm TonyR: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @5:53 Go outside and rub your hands on the copper.
	5:54pm mr 6: Jerry from Putnam said he’s been a volunteer signal monitor and the Rockland tower is currently on its longest running without any crashes
	5:54pm Audiocarp: I have heard glitches on 91.1 but nowhere near as many as WNYC
	5:55pm Regina J: Bill Berger’s show was what first got me into WFMU. I guess it was in the mid-to-late 1980s, and I’ve loved the station ever since. Thank goodness it’s still on the air/ I can’t imagine having to do without it.

	🚽 5:56pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:54 Had no idea of Sheila's reach til I checked out her website. Loved SBB dearly. Even moreso that she's a metal fan \m/
	5:56pm luka: not that other State of the Stations were doom and gloom, this one feels like the station is in a generally good place. long live.
	5:57pm listener 126464: ↳ Listener Robert @5:52 It mingles with a classical station, but it’s the 2nd best thing to listening to FMU.
	5:57pm Chris J from Bloomfield: Origin story: I think I read about WFMU while I was attending college in the Chicago area. Then I moved back to New Jersey. First started listening to WLIR, then moved over completely to WFMU starting in 1983 or 1984. Donated for the first time around then, to Bill Kelly's show.
	5:57pm Hello Dave: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:47 I might do that, but I wanted to pledge to Wake, since that's my go-to show in the morning. Thanks for the tip!

	5:57pm RevErie: Thanks Ken and everyone else keeping this station going!
	5:58pm Marc15: One more archive question. Does anyone remember an overnight WFMU DJ who played answering machine messages of a woman threatening to kill her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend? The messages grew more and more disturbing and terrifying as they went on. This show would have been on in early January 2005. I remember that because it was the same week my grandmother passed away and I had horrible insomnia. I don’t remember the DJs name so I couldn’t look it up.
	5:58pm Hello Dave: I still love to go through old Beware of the Blog archives every once in a while. I'm glad it hasn't gone away.

	6:03pm David Chrone: In '73 I discovered woofmoo living in northern NJ. Lost it when I moved to Baltimore but found a similar station WGTB from Georgetown University in DC. It was a great station. I later moved to Phoenix and re discovered WFMU through streaming about 7 years ago. Been listening and donating ever since. Rock On!
	🚽 6:07pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Marc15 @5:58 In 2005 a bunch of DJs played from a release called "The Answer Tapes" that was all found audio. But not as early as January 2005. wfmu.org...
	6:10pm Deano de los Muertos: Not sure what year I first started listening, but a childhood friend got a PA job working for Andy on Monk (he was already a big Best Show fan) and I started listening on my own to Shut Up, Weirdo! and Put the Needle on the Record….Garbage Time shortly followed
	6:24pm My New Heart Loves WFMU: In 2019, while undergoing a hospital stay for a heart transplant, I somehow came across WFMU online. It was the transition between Clay and someone else, maybe Matt, and they were discussing Gum Elevators (a midwestern thing, apparently). I credit WFMU with my surviving the transplant with my sanity mostly intact. Became a Swag For Lifer, You all do incredible work. Say hi to Amanda for me! Fred H. in Delhi, NY

	3:10pm Michael 98145: I'm sure a Liz Berg podcast was the bait that hauled me in.
	9:21am jeremyo: So cool to hear about your forthcoming archives app. I remember The Great Archive Crisis. After you'd retrieved all you could did it leave any gaps? I'm probably not the only listener to have a good number of MP3s stored from the last 20+ years, maybe we can help...
