A WORD ABOUT THIS WEEK’S SHOW (1.31.15)

29 Jan

Anyone notice I’ve been gone? Just me? Thought so. Okay. in that case, I’m sure the news that I won’t be in the studio this week either won’t rock your world -not nearly as much as this year’s flu has rocked mine for the past two week. (Fair and balanced though I am, I can say nothing to recommend having the flu, nothing whatsoever.) I’m going to take another week to see if I can stop coughing long enough to say my name plus a word or two after that. 

The good news is we’ll be playing one of my favorite shows as an Archive Encore this Saturday night, so that you can relive one more time all of the fun, mystery, and erudition which was missing when I did this show live and is still missing. (People need some consistency to anchor their lives, right?)

Watch this space for news about my return to life and to live programs.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.17.15)

15 Jan

I can’t be there live this week, so I’ll be dipping into the archives for an encore show.  If you think I look a lot younger this Saturday night, keep it to yourself, ok?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.10.15)

6 Jan

Last week’s theme turned out to be, “Oh, no, you don’t.” Weather won that round and I couldn’t get to the station for a live show. Hope you enjoyed the show from the archives. Let’s try this again with a different theme, ok?

HINT:

People can make all kinds of suggestions. They make helpful suggestions, or constructive suggestions, or timely suggestions, or improper suggestions. Guess which one I’m focusing on this Saturday night?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.3.15)

31 Dec

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?

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.27.14)

24 Dec

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!

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.13.14)

10 Dec

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.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (12.6.14)

3 Dec

HINT: 

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.

No hint required – this week is the Fifth Annual Turntable For One Music To BeThankful For show with special appearances by more than a half-dozen other WMNR Broadcasters plus contributions from listeners as well.

HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (11.22.14)

20 Nov

HINT:

Sure, other radio shows promise more questions than answers – and they’re proud of it. But Turntable For One boldly follows the road not taken (and, as usual, without a compass, moral or otherwise). I’m going to present something different – an hour of  questions that never need answers! How is that possible? Good question – but it’s for me to know and for you to find out by listening this Saturday night.
