	♥ 5:15pm diciassette: (I think it's a bit like Mare Sea A Day Clue)
	5:17pm Countrydave: Welcome to WFMU. You sound great!
	♥ 5:20pm 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.
	5:24pm Ben The Intern: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @5:20 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.
	5:25pm olivia: Hey ben!! Sounding great! :)
	♥ 5:26pm diciassette: There's nothing like the panic of instantly falling in love with a song on the radio (before there were internet playlists or shazam)
	5:26pm Ben The Intern: ↳ olivia @5:25 Thanks Olivia !!
	5:26pm Ben The Intern: and thank you all for your kind words!!

	♥ 5:35pm Phin The Hyooman: ↳ Ben The Intern @5:24 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. 😁
	♥ 5:46pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: ↳ Ben The Intern @5:24 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.
	♥ 5:48pm _Ike_: Sounds good.
	5:51pm ?: ↳ Song: "Magnolia" by "J.J. Cale" sounds kind of new
	♥ 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, Ben! Good things today!
	5:53pm ?: WFMU ate my balls.
	5:53pm proud listener alias: 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.
	♥ 5:55pm diciassette: ↳ proud listener alias @5:53 I feel like there's something very wistful about trombones.
	5:57pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: Nice show, Ben.
	♥ 5:57pm diciassette: Thank you Ben! This was great!
	♥ 5:58pm Richy4619: Good hits. Thx Ben.
