WFMU: Teenage Wasteland Playlist

Listener comments!

3:14pm Sid:

Hello, is this thing on?

3:15pm Ike:

Oh, he means Gov. Slenderman. I was confused there for a sec.

3:17pm Sid:

Normally, politics don't sell! But the sweet smell of that politics might!

3:19pm Sid:

Do people still call in to pledge or do we all do it online now?

3:20pm -Ken:

People still call although it's probably 3 to 1 in terms of how many web pledges versus phone calls.

3:26pm queems:

whoa way to go

3:28pm Sid:

Oxon Hill MD. Right outside of DC; must be a dump.

3:42pm Sid:

Massage Parlor subscription - as hard to get out of as a timeshare?

3:43pm Listener Robert:

Probably this question would be best answered by Ms. Jones: How do you account for Swag For Life? That is, when someone pledges a monthly amount for an indefinite period, how do you figure the amount "pledged" for "goal" purposes? Do you project an entire year's worth?

3:45pm Switchblade Batman:

I'm sad to report the boatrace story between NY and NJ is bullshit - www.nytimes.com...

3:46pm -Ken:

Robert - Yes, we use a 12 month total for Monthly Swag for Life pledges

3:47pm Sid:

Need to find a WFMU aircheck from 1958.

3:48pm Meghan:

Miriam Linna and Randell Fuller- I Fought the Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller book is up for grabs! Get in the running by pledging $20 or more!

3:51pm -Ken:

@Sid, the earliest aircheck we have is from 1962, and it's include in the WFMU "Horn of Plenty" Flash Drive of WFMU History.

3:56pm Sid:

That's a good premium. I didn't see a description of the USB drive contents.

4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Highly recommend Swag For Lifedom. For just a teeny amount automatically once/month - ya get all the Icons on yer comments & can swag eround w/out crippling guilt

- moreover, FMU gets a steady reliable drip of awlmighty Support (ya know ya wanna...) Look - if we all do this - imagine what this nutty place could swing...

- & ya get shirts & stickas sometime & a few DJ Premiums...Ya can still play thuh reindeer games & give more to a particular Program if ya want more...

4:04pm medson:

So many great swag items this year. Swag for life makes it really easy for our household to support WFMU

4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...*driving* in Boston?? Are you nuts??...

4:07pm Sid:

Say someone "put in papers" to adopt a DJ via an online pledge this past week. How would one find out if the adoption went through? Just asking for a friend.

4:08pm Listener Robert:

-Ken, I think in that audit you had done last year, I would've had the accountant comb the Swag for Life pledges and see how long they kept up, and then applied a longevity model to figure the return on the average Swag for Life pledge.

How they realistically should be accounted for, I don't know. In any given year the maximum amount is known, and since these fundraisers work by the year, that may be the best way to figure. However, there must be SOME value to the expected future income that annual cash basis doesn't account for. Maybe the out year should be subtracted from the goal that year.

4:11pm Jack:

Jeez...

4:12pm Hugo (NL):

Hi there Meghan! Hello Bill!
Good evening/afternoon/morning fellow listeners...It's the most wonderful time of the year, ain't it?

4:13pm Meghan:

4:14pm Meghan:

Hugo! Hello!

4:15pm Sid:

Meghan, I submitted an email to the super-secret address as instructed. Would I, errr my friend, expect to hear something back?

4:22pm JakeGould:

If the building is falling apart, couldn’t people just climb in through the wall holes?

4:23pm Meghan:

I know he was going to work on the adoption gallery today.... so it could be fixed soon....

4:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...we're gonna build a Wall...& we're gonna make us pay for it...

4:46pm Kat:
