WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from October 11, 2022

Listener comments!
	👻 7:37pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	👻 7:56pm MarkTime: Whew the playlist is up ... thanks!
	👻 7:57pm Austin Rich: I hope the pics are right.
	👻 7:58pm MarkTime: So far so good. As usual too many non-show distractions
	7:59pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	👻 7:59pm MarkTime: Hello!
	👻 8:00pm MarkTime: Once things settle down I must pledge
	8:02pm Krys O.: I saw Jean live in the mid-80s at a theater in Millburn, NJ.
	👻 8:02pm Mr Fab: hey Mark! Always look forward to these shows.
	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Yay it’s MarkTime time
	👻 8:11pm Austin Rich: I feel like Speilberg heard this, and got the idea of that episode of "Amazing Stories" that is, essentially, based on aliens hearing earth broadcasts.
	8:12pm Aitch: Wiggling quietly here
	👻 8:13pm WR: Hi I'm receiving this and feeling very confused. He's telling us to all turn our tape recorders on. Definitely from another time and place.
	8:13pm Aitch: Galaxy Quest
	👻 8:14pm Austin Rich: Someone must have turned their tape recorder on in the past... for us to hear it in the future... oh dear... so confusing...
	8:14pm Krys O.: Which came first the tape or the show?
	👻 8:15pm MarkTime: It's because someone in the WOR audience that night had a tape recorder rolling that we can enjoy this now
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: As a nerd who dreams of what radio was like in the past, Don Joyce's series, "How Radio Was Done," collects a lot of weird old radio air-checks (and radio re-creations), and other stuff that would have appeared on old radio. As you can imagine, everything up to 1960 is covered in only a few episodes... and then he spends almost 20 episodes just covering the 60's. It's pretty in-depth. I've only listened to a few episodes, with any depth.
	👻 8:19pm MarkTime: @ Austin -- At 3 hours a week for over a year, the Over the Edge "How Radio Was Done" was an amazing series. Oh to have the time to re-listen
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: This is pretty fascinating. There is so little radio from the 20's at all. This is pretty great.
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: I'm pretty in-awe of Don's radio work. It's an astounding body of broadcasting, and all by one person. Every episode I've sampled just astonishes me. He really had a vision.
	👻 8:27pm WR: thank you for mentioning Over the Edge "How Radio Was Done".
	8:30pm Kat in Chicago: I have been listening to random, out-of-order episodes of "How Radio Was Done" in recent months.
	8:31pm Krys O.: I grew up listening to WOR. It was my parents' favorite station.
	👻 8:32pm WR: OTE is new to me. Looking forward to listening. I recently was reading 1937 issues of Broadcasting magazine. Internet archive has all issues online up to 1960 or so.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: I only know stations from the east coast via tape. Being on the West Coast, I only read about a lot of older radio stations. I was certainly enamored with broadcasting, as a thing in general.
	8:35pm Krys O.: Mom and Dad loved the gardening show on WOR hosted by Ralph Snodsmith. His catchphrase was "Read the label."
	👻 8:37pm MarkTime: Oopsie ... we move on to the 8/8/1963 Jean Shepherd Show, from WOR and WOR-FM New York "Insanity Sessions"
	👻 8:39pm MarkTime: I rarely heard WOR ... 710 was covered up by 720 WGN in Chicago. I got to hear one of the Gambling sons on a Saturday shift when visiting Manhattan in 1979
	👻 8:40pm Mr Fab: wow he actually used the term "mad men."
	👻 8:42pm MarkTime: In 1963, around the time the TV show "Mad Men" was set
	👻 8:42pm Austin Rich: I realize way too late that I missed the "track" change.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: I'd be curious to know how many notes he would have when he was about to do a "monologue" like this.
	👻 8:48pm MarkTime: I can't see doing this with a full script ... maybe an outline, or a few key words?
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: I was thinking an outline, and then "keywords" for lines he wants to nail. But who can say?
	8:53pm Krys O.: It may be a monologue, but it's conversational like a phone call with an entertaining friend.
	👻 8:54pm Austin Rich: It has a lot of the same qualities of classic monologues... and some of the same qualities of improvising. Probably both?
	8:54pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Jean Shepard, the greatest talker that was ever on the radio
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: Thanks for a great show, Mark! I love this kind of radio.
	8:55pm Aaron in Minneapolis: SHITTYFLUTE!
	👻 8:56pm Mr Fab: Aaron: hahaha
	👻 8:56pm MarkTime: And, Shepherd could go off-track into something else teehee
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: "Pooey-flute," as Vicki would say.
	8:57pm Aitch: Could talk underwater this bloke. I do love a Hearty White monologue on the mothership, but his show on in work hours so too hard to follow and be productive. Upholding the tradition
	8:59pm Krys O.: Thanks, MarkTime & Austin!
	👻 8:59pm MarkTime: You're welcome, Austin and Krys, and thanks Austin
	8:59pm Kat in Chicago: That hour went fast!
	9:01pm Krys O.: Mid-Valley Mutations is thisaway: wfmu.org...
	9:01pm Aaron in Minneapolis: Krys. O, if Mr. Fab would let me fill in for one of the wiggles, I could replay my smashmouth show here
	👻 9:01pm MarkTime: And then we fly into the night, and into Austin's show
	👻 9:01pm Mr Fab: Great stuff, thx Mark!
	👻 9:02pm MarkTime: You're welcome!
	👻 9:02pm WR: Yes, it went so fast! Thank you! Mark! For the curated recordings, not for making the hour go so fast, getting worried about a lack of time left.
