@DJSheilab , the earnest voices and choices of WFMU DJs and audience is a really helpful quiet opt-in group therapy for those of us trying to keep our heads at doing anything. Some folks don’t reach out, and I am one. But hearing that other people are equally stressed helps me cope. It helps take a moment to breathe where needed.

I was wearing the SBB shirt at a show at Wonderville, and someone came up to me and was like, "WFMU! I love that station! Sophisticated Boom Boom is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I agreed with all points.

The next week I was at a show at the Broadway and wearing my Spin Age Blasters shirt, and someone came up to me and was all, "WFMU! I love that station! Spin Age Blasters is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I once again agreed with all points and then realized about halfway in that it was the same person! I hope they are listening to WFMU more now and we can find new material at the next show.
