Not a real doctor; real worm. I've done radio for kids for a weirdly long time. Not your lawyer, maybe your amusement park law professor. SpareTheRock.com, RecreationAndRisk.com (Carolina Academic Press). He/him; my views only here, of course.

It’s definitely the tension from that game two months ago and not just, you know, me.

Gonna need you to listen to more Soul Asylum and do some Journalistic Integrity.

I like wrestling fine but every time he does this song I am utterly convinced that it is, in fact, better than everything else I like

Two days later: “We will return the Airplane Prison Transport to American skies. It will be dug out of the Nevada desert and returned to service, transporting all of the worst Convicts from one prison to another.”

Partnering with the amazing folks there on things like Rock the Park and various SXSW programming has been incredibly fun. They've never blinked at me playing Fugazi or Fishbone or Rush or whatever on the radio for children.
They're a remarkable resource and CPB funding should continue.

KUTX continues, by my lights, to strike a really solid balance between broad appeal and music discovery. It is not as eclectic as KEXP but it is way more wide-ranging in genres than a lot of AAAs.

It's not even so much that I don't like it as I think it's funny for reasons I cannot quite identify (except for the association with geometry class, I suppose).

Oh no

“Demon’s Descent” is also right there and doesn’t evoke your geometry class

(Is "Pitch" as the name for a demon solely from the MST3K-riffed movie Santa Claus? Because if so I'll grant you that that's a deep cut for the name of a feature of a 2025 haunt)

Why go with Satan's Slope when Pitch's Pitch is right there

Also I learned that the (seemingly extremely sketchy) Queens "Haunting in Hollis" has a long slide in the dark called "Satan's Slope," and there is something about that name that is cracking me up. (I should note that a patron alleges that she shattered both of her ankles on Satan's Slope.)

Personally offended that a student described a case from the very recent year of 1992 as "decades old"

It was, for some insane reason, called Fast & Furious.

Under no circumstances should you take any Fast & Furious movie seriously. That way the occasional actually sincerely affecting bits work well and the rest is taken in the appropriate way.

(Is it exactly twice a waltz? I mean, 6 is double 3 and 8 is double 4, so I'll say sure)
