I’m starting the new year off right – with a literary metaphor.
HINT:
If this week’s Turntable For One were a Dickens novel, which one would it be?

Talking about starting the year off right, you can always listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, The Public Radio Exchange. Just click the link below.
Hoping to end the year on a high note (pun intended), I played some of my favorite songs from some of the favorite weekly themes from 2014. Let’s hope the new year is a better one. I’ll try to do my part.

A new year is beginning but that doesn’t have to mean that you have to forget everything about the past – for instance archived Turntable For One shows. You can listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange, any time you want and probably without a single threat from a certain foreign leader. Just click the link below.
HINT:
This week will be the annual Turntable For One Year In Review – plus I’ll explain why the show wasn’t on last Saturday night. Was it because criticism reached critical mass? Was it because of the threats of a certain North Korean leader to hack my personal emails? Was it just an early Christmas gift to you? Find out this week!

Because I was the absolute only one at this Office Christmas Party, there was no sucking up to the boss, no meaningless chit-chat with people you wouldn’t save if they were drowning, and yet, unexplainably, a fight still broke out.
Be sure to scroll down and cast your vote for the Ugliest Sweater. I’ll reveal (or is that revile?) the winner on next week’s show.

The party doesn’t really have to stop here. You can listen to a Turntable For One podcast on PRX, the Public Radio Exchange while you fantasize about all the things you should and should not have said at your own office party. Click the link below.

What would the holiday season be without some snarky and unwarranted criticism? I knew you’d agree. So vote now for your favorite ugly sweater. Leave a comment on the blog with your vote or send me an email at turntable@wmnr.org. I’ll announce the winner (if that’s the correct term) on the show next Saturday night.

HINT:
What do you call it when a bunch of people who work together but may not know each other that well and probably don’t really like each other all that much get together just before Christmas and everyone drinks and everyone’s loud, and things get out of hand and people say things and do things in the heat of the moment that they regret for a whole year until it’s time to do it again?
I know that sounds like every Turntable For One show, but this week I have something else in mind, something special and just for the holidays.

“What happens next?” That’s a question we’ve all been asking since the first time we heard a bedtime story. Well, tonight, I decided not to keep you in suspense. When you listened to one song, you only had to wait a couple of minutes to find out what happened next. However, now you have to wait until Wednesday to see the hint of what I’ll be doing next Saturday night.

You’re reading a book or watching your favorite TV program. The chapter ends or the episode ends leaving the story unresolved and you up in the air. What happens next? you wonder. How does the story end? If you’re frustrated by having to delay gratification, I think I can help you out this week.

Thanks to all of the listeners and special thanks to all of the WMNR broadcasters who all came up with music they were thankful for this year. It was an eclectic and very personal show and I was happy just to sit back and play it all. I also hope you caught the show because it featured a live, in-studio version of “‘Round Midnight” by composer/lyricist/pianist Cody Owen Stine.
