Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Ben how did you learn about WFMU? I am genuinely curious to hear from younger listeners who weren't raised on terrestrial radio. My son did college radio and he called me in a panic b/c he didn't know how to back announce.

I learned about WFMU from my dad (Shoutout Jon from Maplewood in the comments!). He would often play WFMU in the car. But I also work at my college radio station, Wesleyan's WESU 88.1FM, and WFMU is well known in the college radio scene.

There's nothing like the panic of instantly falling in love with a song on the radio (before there were internet playlists or shazam)

Love it! I’m sure your dad is proud as you’re doing great tonight! I hope one day my girls will have “my dad always played WFMU” stories. 😁

Great story Ben I hope you can stick at it. All I wanted to be when I was a teenager was a college radio DJ. 40 years later, I'm still trying to find my calling LOL.

Oh Ben… re certain Sax 🎷solos ruining otherwise great songs… imo, y’all may have unleashed a great topic for further discussion! (perhaps elsewhere - during a 3hour formatted show!). I have alotta feelings to get off my back regarding this subject. & btw, I Adore horn 🎷in most of its nosiest permutations. Etc. So, it all boils down to “right place right time” Re horn solos, etc.
