Yay 2nd show! This was actually on a suicide prevention day, which is MIT code for they gave us a random day off because we get really stressed really quickly. So things were a little off. But yeah, my friend Jose helped me make part of the playlist, but he wasn't able to co-host in the end. Ah well. Cooler news is the fact that this day was actually my little sister's 16th birthday, so she got a set picked out specifically for her. Or something like that. Ooh and I also gave out a pair of tickets to the new Wes Anderson movie, The Darjeeling Limited. It's great and beautiful.

HEY! I'm back for another season :) For now, the show is still called 'Hook Heavy.' Frankly I'm a bit over this, haha, but I couldn't come up with anything that felt right before all the WMBR official stuff was put out, so I'll just stick with it for this semester. But look for it to change next season. Maybe. Hopefully.

Anyway, I'm on the same day, different time. MONDAY 6-7!! Right after the news. Very exciting. It's been pretty good so far - maybe not quite as many listeners as last semester, but that's hard to gauge because I think there are a lot of car listeners, and we can't track those :P I do get a fair amount of phone calls, though, and those are fun! I love when people just call in to find out the name of a song or band because they really liked it. Success!

Also, this year I'm having some friends come in occasionally to co-host, etc. This has been attempted twice and worked pseudo-successfully once, haha. More to come?
