	8:01pm postconsumer: hi hi hi
	8:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "The Logical Song" by "Mindless Self Indulgence" Good cover

	8:02pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:02 It's a new assembly
	8:03pm postconsumer: experimenting though... I'll explain on mic, momentarily.
	8:03pm coelacanth∅: greetings Jon Nelson, 'y'all
	👻 8:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:03 Experimental radio? On WFMU / Sheena's? Why I never! <storms off...>
	8:04pm Kat in the chat: good evening!
	8:04pm postconsumer: I may take it right down, depending on what you all think. I'm trying something new. thanks for your input! Be kind though... :)
	8:04pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @8:04 seriously, what the hell?
	8:04pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:04 no, don't go! I need your opinion, especially. :)
	8:05pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:04 This is fun
	👻 8:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:04 You have my attention. I'm usually curious about stuff like this.
	8:05pm postconsumer: it's not THAT weird, I'm just nervous, bc it's personal.
	👻 8:06pm Austin Rich: I should send you some 'zines, postconsumer. I was just doing layouts for a new one today.
	8:08pm Krys O.: Always room to wiggle in the Wiggle Room.
	8:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Krys O. @8:08 Exactly, it's right there on the label.
	8:08pm Aitch: Receiving a life preserving blood transfusion right now. Get the vibe
	8:08pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:06 sounds good!
	8:09pm postconsumer: Trigger warnings: Sex, Race and Religion. All three, and from the perspective of a VERY naive little boy (6 or 7, in the late seventies), in Dallas, TX.
	8:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:08 :)
	8:10pm postconsumer: Now I'm going to stop hedging, worrying and warning. Full speed ahead.
	👻 8:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @8:04 Ha!
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: This year is the 31st anniversary of my first zine, back in March of 1993. I was working on it all February of that year. It was all fiction and art drawing my friends made. Later that year, I saw my first "punk" zine, and after that... I was hooked.
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:10 I think you're in good company.
	8:11pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @8:08 good good good
	8:11pm Krys O.: Oh, perfect.....
	8:11pm Krys O.: Fucking excellent radio!
	👻 8:11pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @8:09 Dallas TX? I lived in Dallas from ~68 to ~78. High school and college days.
	8:12pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:11 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
	8:12pm postconsumer: Thanks, Krys :)
	👻 8:12pm Mr Fab: Apart from Austin's awesome zines, Sheena's own Don-O is also a longtime 'zine maker - reviews, draws comics and personal. You should hit him up, Jon.
	8:13pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:11 I was there from about 76 to 81
	8:14pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @8:12 I've gotten some good ones from both of them, in the past. I'm looking forward to more...
	👻 8:14pm WR: Excellent Peanuts adult voice treatment to the therapist's voice.
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:12 I need to get some of Don's 'zines.
	8:15pm Dan S: Just tuned in. Well, this is different, even by WFMU standards.
	8:16pm Krys O.: This makes me think of Richard Brautigan.
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: I was thinking we should make a Sheena's Zine. A little bio of each of us, a photo, and info about our shows. Maybe us zine-focused folks could all collaborate? Mayhaps I should get a thread with Don started... Each DJ should have a signature cocktail / mocktail.
	8:17pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:14 thanks! those are actually sampled from a Charlie Brown special. :)
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:16 I love that. Now I'm hearing this in a different way.
	8:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ postconsumer @8:17 so assembly still required
	👻 8:19pm WR: Yes! Dirt in the backyard. Lots of early memories of playing in dirt in backyard. From my earlier days before Dallas. Small town Texas.
	8:20pm postconsumer: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:18 technically, yes. :)
	👻 8:21pm Austin Rich: This is really excellent. I'm not sure I'm ready to share my therapy sessions with others yet, but listening to this, I wonder why I'm not ready?
	8:21pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:19 same reason, I'm not? Ask Krys, I was quite nervous. Thanks again for the encouragement!
	8:22pm postconsumer: not mentioned: Fisher Price action figures, twigs and broken glass, in the dirt.
	8:22pm Aitch: Fascinating
	👻 8:24pm Mr Fab: Kinda reminds me of Joe Frank.
	8:26pm postconsumer: I'm going to have to look up Joe Frank and Richard Brautigan, later!
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: If we can't get personal with the shows that we're making, I'm not sure why we should do this at all. This is a good reminder of the possibilities. Every show is personal, but some can be even more so, and still be compelling and excellent.
	8:28pm postconsumer: Is this too on the nose? All the songs are chosen, very specifically... I'm open to feedback!
	👻 8:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:26 "In Watermelon Sugar" is probably my favorite Brautigan book, but I like bits and pieces of all his books. "A Confederate General From Big Sur" is another one that has some of my favorite Brautigan bits, even if the novel isn't as strong overall.
	👻 8:29pm Mr Fab: Joe Frank is a late radio monologist, very popular in public radio starting on the ‘80s. Irwin here on WFMU used to feature his show every week for a while there. Probably still in the archives.
	8:30pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:29 I'm thinking of the album Listening to Richard Brautigan.
	👻 8:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @8:29 And he used to speak over minimal music, a la this show.
	👻 8:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:30 That album is very cool, too! I think he reads my favorite section from, "Confederate General" on that record! (The bit about cataloging the punctuation in the Bible.)
	👻 8:32pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @8:27 Yes, one of the most memorable programs you did, Austin, was the one built around your grandmother's [I think your grandmother, not mother] recording. And then the one about your mother's radio career. There may be a limit to how many of those stories we may each have, but they are very special.
	👻 8:33pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @8:28 great choices.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @8:32 That's very sweet. Finding that record was wild to me. I knew I had to do something with it, but... it took a while to figure out what to do with it.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @8:33 Agreed.
	8:34pm postconsumer: Thanks to Rich Lindsay for reminding me of these 800% slower songs. perfect for this I thought.
	👻 8:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:34 He reminds me of a lot of music I've forgotten about. Rich is the best.
	8:36pm MissRikki: Late, but was there the thoughtigan of Brautigan?
	👻 8:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ MissRikki @8:36 Say, "Brautigan," three times fast, and Miss Rikki appears!
	8:37pm MissRikki: Indeed!
	8:37pm postconsumer: welcome, all, btw! thanks for listening. :)
	👻 8:39pm WR: Early encounters with otherness.
	8:39pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:37 You're very brave to tell your story
	8:40pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:39 yes, I was an extraordinary sheltered kid, in those days. Everyone was "other" in those days...
	👻 8:40pm WR: In the context of "literally" your own backyard.
	👻 8:40pm Austin Rich: It's also good to normalize therapy like this. Thank you! It took me far too long to start.
	8:41pm Kat in the chat: This Jane's Addiction track fits the mood really nicely
	8:41pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:39 Is it too much? I told Krys, earlier, I'm quite ok with sharing it. I mean, I didn't "overshare," in my opinion. That said, I know some people get really uncomfortable w this kind of thing. I'm trying to ride a line...
	👻 8:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:41 I used to know this album backwards and forwards, when it was new.
	8:42pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:40 yes! That was always in the back of my mind...
	8:42pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:41 Not too much at all.
	8:42pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:41 It is definitely not "too much." It's enthralling.
	8:44pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:41 Yes, it does. I didn't know it was Jane's Adduction. Not shown in the playlist. Thanks for that info.
	8:44pm Krys O.: I grew up in a mostly Black neighborhood when I was little. We played together, went to school together.
	8:44pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:42 So good to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
	8:45pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:44 I was afraid to share how I expressed that memory, btw... but it was an honest recollection.
	8:45pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @8:44 Addiction
	8:49pm postconsumer: sounds like it needs some volume attention. music's ok though?
	8:50pm Kat in the chat: Another good pick (White Stripes)
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: I recall a certain kind of freedom, roaming around the neighborhoods as a kid, mostly unnoticed by adults.
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: The slowed-down background music is a nice touch. I mentioned the Joe Frank show, he used to use stuff like early Steve Reich tapping away in the background. This is a more original choice.
	8:51pm Krys O.: That's what kids do. The neighborhood kids would peek into apartments or houses that only had the screen door separating the view of inside.
	8:51pm postconsumer: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:50 I was sure I remembered another version of this, but I like this one, too.
	👻 8:51pm WR: Music is a little louder than story time segments, but not dramatic.
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:50 This one I recognized myself.
	8:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @8:50 Me too, Austin. Charlotte and Chapel Hill, North Carolina when I was this age.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Northern California / Southern Oregon for me.
	8:52pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:51 I'll remaster it. Believe it or not, I got this wrapped up with thirty minutes to spare.
	8:53pm postconsumer: I think being a kid in the seventies was pretty awesome.
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: This was really good, postconsumer. Thanks again for making this.
	8:54pm Kat in the chat: First half of the sixties for me
	8:54pm Dan S: ↳ Austin Rich @8:50 Yeah, me too. Roamed pretty far and wide. No cell phones or anything.
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @8:53 It was, in some ways. So much more freedom. The downside- bullying was considered perfectly normal.
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:54 "Make sure you're home before dark." And our backyard essentially opened up into forest, so there was a lot of wandering around in the woods, too.
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 Yeah. I recall a lot of "li'l thugs" in my neighborhoods, too.
	8:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 Very true, I was a victim of it repeatedly and my parents didn't do much about it when I reported it. I finally stopped telling them.
	8:57pm Kat in the chat: Haha lil Jon the grade school health nut
	8:58pm Dan S: Funny, I grew up in a Brooklyn neighborhood, Canarsie, but there were empty lots and the shore of Jamaica Bay to roam around in. So not so different, I think.
	8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 I was very short, shy and different which made it super easy for bullies to target me.
	👻 8:58pm WR: This has been very very good. Looking forward to the new neighborhood (did you say, Minneapolis?) episode.
	8:58pm Imaginos: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:56 Bullying stinks. Especially when nobody believes you
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:57 ha ha - actually I was so dumb I was just telling her whatever my parents had told me.
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:58 In Dallas, it was alleys and empty lots, broken glass, abandoned refrigerators, etc. No bullies, really. Minnesota was a very different story. Suburbs, and woods all around it. And lots of bullies to try and avoid.
	8:59pm Krys O.: Well done! Fantastic radio. Thanks for doing this.
	8:59pm postconsumer: Thanks Aitch, Austin, WR, Kat, Dan S, Mr. Fab, Imaginos, coelacanth∅, MissRikki and especially Krys!!
	9:00pm Kat in the chat: Yeah this was good!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Thank you! Great radio!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks postconsumer Jon! 'twas entertaining
	9:00pm Dan S: ↳ postconsumer @8:59 You're welcome.
	9:01pm postconsumer: I appreciate it! Austin, Krys, Fab, I might ask another couple of questions, via email, if you don't mind. This really was an experiment,..
	9:01pm postconsumer: thanks again!

	8:44pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:41 Yes, it does. I didn't know it was Jane's Adduction. Not shown in the playlist. Thanks for that info.
	8:44pm Krys O.: I grew up in a mostly Black neighborhood when I was little. We played together, went to school together.
	8:44pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:42 So good to hear. Thanks for the feedback.
	8:45pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:44 I was afraid to share how I expressed that memory, btw... but it was an honest recollection.
	8:45pm Dan S: ↳ Dan S @8:44 Addiction
	8:49pm postconsumer: sounds like it needs some volume attention. music's ok though?
	8:50pm Kat in the chat: Another good pick (White Stripes)
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: I recall a certain kind of freedom, roaming around the neighborhoods as a kid, mostly unnoticed by adults.
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: The slowed-down background music is a nice touch. I mentioned the Joe Frank show, he used to use stuff like early Steve Reich tapping away in the background. This is a more original choice.
	8:51pm Krys O.: That's what kids do. The neighborhood kids would peek into apartments or houses that only had the screen door separating the view of inside.
	8:51pm postconsumer: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:50 I was sure I remembered another version of this, but I like this one, too.
	👻 8:51pm WR: Music is a little louder than story time segments, but not dramatic.
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:50 This one I recognized myself.
	8:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @8:50 Me too, Austin. Charlotte and Chapel Hill, North Carolina when I was this age.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:52 Northern California / Southern Oregon for me.
	8:52pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:51 I'll remaster it. Believe it or not, I got this wrapped up with thirty minutes to spare.
	8:53pm postconsumer: I think being a kid in the seventies was pretty awesome.
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: This was really good, postconsumer. Thanks again for making this.
	8:54pm Kat in the chat: First half of the sixties for me
	8:54pm Dan S: ↳ Austin Rich @8:50 Yeah, me too. Roamed pretty far and wide. No cell phones or anything.
	👻 8:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @8:53 It was, in some ways. So much more freedom. The downside- bullying was considered perfectly normal.
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:54 "Make sure you're home before dark." And our backyard essentially opened up into forest, so there was a lot of wandering around in the woods, too.
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 Yeah. I recall a lot of "li'l thugs" in my neighborhoods, too.
	8:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 Very true, I was a victim of it repeatedly and my parents didn't do much about it when I reported it. I finally stopped telling them.
	8:57pm Kat in the chat: Haha lil Jon the grade school health nut
	8:58pm Dan S: Funny, I grew up in a Brooklyn neighborhood, Canarsie, but there were empty lots and the shore of Jamaica Bay to roam around in. So not so different, I think.
	8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:55 I was very short, shy and different which made it super easy for bullies to target me.
	👻 8:58pm WR: This has been very very good. Looking forward to the new neighborhood (did you say, Minneapolis?) episode.
	8:58pm Imaginos: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:56 Bullying stinks. Especially when nobody believes you
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:57 ha ha - actually I was so dumb I was just telling her whatever my parents had told me.
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:58 In Dallas, it was alleys and empty lots, broken glass, abandoned refrigerators, etc. No bullies, really. Minnesota was a very different story. Suburbs, and woods all around it. And lots of bullies to try and avoid.
	8:59pm Krys O.: Well done! Fantastic radio. Thanks for doing this.
	8:59pm postconsumer: Thanks Aitch, Austin, WR, Kat, Dan S, Mr. Fab, Imaginos, coelacanth∅, MissRikki and especially Krys!!
	9:00pm Kat in the chat: Yeah this was good!
	👻 9:00pm WR: Thank you! Great radio!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks postconsumer Jon! 'twas entertaining
	9:00pm Dan S: ↳ postconsumer @8:59 You're welcome.
	9:01pm postconsumer: I appreciate it! Austin, Krys, Fab, I might ask another couple of questions, via email, if you don't mind. This really was an experiment,..
	9:01pm postconsumer: thanks again!
