 | KFAI provides music and voices you can't hear anywhere else on the Twin Cities dial! Your support will help us continue to broaden our worldwide online reach to bring Fresh Air to every corner of the known universe! |
| 15.7.22 19:24 |
|  | Two years ago, I started a little ol' show on Fresh Air and today....well, it's still a pretty little show but it DOES have a rather dedicated audience who help me program two hours of radio every Saturday afternoon. This week, we're asking not only for requests but for a couple coins in our tip jar to help improve the online experience for all our audiences for all our programs. If you've ever listened to my show - or perhaps even enjoyed it! - would you consider stepping up with a few bucks? Visit KFAI.org for the online form or I'll even do one of those awful "give Facebook all your financial info" fundraisers in the comments. If you are disinclined to provide financial support for whatever reason, perhaps you could tell a friend about KFAI Weekend on Demand instead? Tomorrow's show has been pretaped as I am still on personal lockdown but I can tell you it's chock full of new new music and your requests, just like always! And it will have the added wrinkle o!
f me listening to myself in real time starting at 5PM!

I'm so happy to announce that I have passed the audition and have now been added to the KFAI schedule! My show is called "Weekend on Demand" - new new music and YOUR requests every Saturday from 5PM to 7PM (Central)! My stretch goal is to have the most interactive show on the station...well, maybe second most interactive after "AM Drive" - built largely around playing as many requests as I can. With any luck, I'll be able to find order amongst the chaos of throwing it wide open to anybody ambitious enough to ask me to play something on the air, with a renewed push towards stuff you're just not gonna hear on any other radio station in the Cities - or possibly the universe. Failing that, I'll just try to play the new Jamie xx 7" mix before anybody else does. Please feel free to find and follow/Like the show's new social presence @KFAIWeekend (here, Twitter, Insta) and engage with us any time the mood strikes you! If you can't tune in or stream live, shows wil!
l be available on demand for 14 days after broadcast - in fact, you can still hear my tryout/pilot shows from the 4th and the 11th! And I think they're really good! Doing live radio has been a dream of mine since I was a wee babe and I'm so excited to have the opportunity to present this show...and in these uncertain times, having something to look forward to and get excited about is a real life saver! |

 | Boy I wish I'd posted this yesterday - who'd like my ticket (value: $14.30) to the MN Aurora/Indy Eleven playoff game? It's at TCO Stadium in Eagan but I bet the folks at Black Hart STP would let you take my seat on their bus (value: $7) if you dropped my name - I'm emailing them to let them know...or, hell, tell them you're me, they don't check IDs! Don't tell them I told you that. If you want to get on the bus, it leaves at 6. If you would prefer to drive yourself there, parking is gratis, the match kicks off at 7 and is probably over by 9 barring any weird overtime stuff since playoffs can't end in a draw, I'm assuming. We'd have to do some "TicketMaster/Vikings app" stuff to get you my ticket but come on, brah, it won't cost you NOTHIN'! Oh and in case you didn't know, we're talking women's soccer, fans, so I hope you already have a scarf - or buy one at the park with all the money you've saved! This is a limited time offer, first come, first served, don't!
wait, go go GO! |

| 12.7.22 16:34 | |  | Well, everybody's luck runs out eventually. The most likely explanation is I took this one home with me from Gothess at the VFW on Friday. I tested negative yesterday but had a little throat tickle, then a tiny fever, then tested positive today, both at home and then at the Midway center. They also foisted upon me a giant bag with 16 home tests in it so I can definitely test myself every day until all clear (and I'll have to because they all expire in two weeks apparently). Maybe I shouldn't have walked around so much yesterday but even right now I really don't feel BAD bad and am happy I'm as vax'd and boost'd as I am for this to feel so minor (honestly, the crud I had last year felt way worse) and also for managing to have escaped the rona for two years four months plus. Unfortunately that also means I can't go to the concert tonight, the Aurora game Wednesday, and I'll have to pretape my show for Saturday and no Assortment either. Beyond that...vee shall see!
! No worries, mates, I still plan to live forever. |

TUNE IN! Or....stream in? What is it the kids do these days? What's that? "Not listen to the radio at all?" Yeah. Well, YOU can! 90•3 locally / kfai•org worldwidedly |
| 9.7.22 16:45 | | Hey Chris |
| 8.7.22 20:03 | |  | He was busy on his phone and we were walking in different directions, so I had to take an anonymous photo of my man so I could take a stab at translating his shirt once I got home. I couldn't settle on which order to put the four characters 誇大広告 but most of them translated to "Hype" and now I want a shirt just like it! But Google really let me down. It's a hard lesson for me to learn but some things just aren't meant for me. |

| 6.7.22 15:58 | |  | The 4th turned out all right as my mysteriously blurry benefactor (okay, it's Trygg in his most patriotic garb as a member of Team Venture) purchased the shared experience of HARD MTN DEW ZERO SUGAR which was MY first experience with the long-awaited product. Four flavours are available - "classic" Mtn Dew is displayed here, Black Cherry, Baja Blast and Watermelon (NOT Major Melon, for whatever reason). I tried the first two and - get this - they're perfectly fine 5% alcohol content delivery systems. The Dew tasted like Dew to me - my compatriots weren't as used to the pretty forward artificial sweeteners I've already come to know and love. As far as I know, Black Cherry Mtn Dew doesn't exist as a soda yet but I'd be fine if it did given these results. As a frequent consumer of the Mtn Dew Zero Sugar sodas, it's a little weird to see "100 calories" on a zero sugar thing, but that's what gives it that kick I suppose. Better than "hard seltzer" (I think they're b!
asically the same thing) but very unlikely it would ever replace beer in my heart during the drinking times. |

| 3.7.22 03:07 | | Home safe! I have so much to think about but I'm pretty sure by the time I wake up I'll have forgotten most of it. ;-) I WILL say it's fun to be at an age where I can see how long I can go without saying a word while the group chats (I think I got to 15 minutes at one point but I only finished second tonight - mad props to my other dude) although it's been some years since I've heard so many women talking about their periods for so long and honestly, it was way more than I needed to know but also probably good to hear as part of my continuing education as a feminist... |

| Coming up in an hour: NEW Beyoncé, NEW Jon Spencer & the HITmakers, NEW Gorillaz FEATURING Thundercat, NEW Pop Will Eat Itself, NEW The Soft Moon and that's just the first set of my FOUR MASSIVE HOURS with YOU on KFAI 90.3 kfai•org 5PM Central DON'CHA DAAAAAAAAAARE MISSIT (but if you miss it you can catch the archive later too) |

|  | CON: Bus home from the Aurora match is playing KQQL 108
PRO: Bus is illuminated with cool blue LEDs |
|
| 24.6.22 18:06 | | JUST IN: I'm now hosting FOUR hours of radio tomorrow afternoon! Unfortunately I don't even have two hours orgasmed - err, PROGRAMMED yet, so PLEASE drop your requests for 5-9 PM below! Bonus attention given if you actually plan to LISTEN to your request during those hours! |
| 24.6.22 16:16 | | |
| 24.6.22 14:28 |
| Wow today's really sucked, huh? I can't say tomorrow's gonna be any better but it WILL start with me guest hosting "True Brit! Radio" right at midnight! I've loaded up with the best British music (that I've listened to in the past couple weeks) as well as some interesting stuff which may or may not "Stump Ron!" Check it all out on your radio (90.3) or stream (KFAIorg) and maybe we can try to have a couple laughs for a couple hours and then get good and drunk after I dunno |
| 24.6.22 14:25 |
 | Stolen from Ollie, but maybe you know me and don't know him.
I will now throw my hat in the ring and offer to host a vacation to Minnesota to any of my out-of-state female friends who find themselves needing one. I can offer a place to stay and transportation to whatever scenic sites one may wish to explore. |
| 23.6.22 20:53 | |  | Speedway had a deal on Dew bottles AND they had the "Baja Gold" varietal so I sucked up and paid American money for one knowing I'd probably hate it. Well, a lot like last year's Baja Flash...I don't HATE it! I don't particularly LIKE it, either, though - unlike last year when the pineapple was tempered with coconut, this one is pretty straight pineapple and I'm sorry but I'm still on the anti- side of all pineapple debates. Also let's face it it looks like peeeeeeee and I was right not to pick up a 12 pack of cans of it for any sale price. If I'm gonna have that much sugar and calories, I really need it to be a Dew I wanna DEW. Or, you know....a Dr Pepper, let's be honest. (Pro tip: you can still get a "large" [30oz] Slurpee for just 69¢ plus tax AND the Speedway in Uptown even usually has four or five out of eight working flavours!) |
|
| 23.6.22 17:17 | |  | Yeah, this is America, but you still can't drive around without license plates, so if you see this guy, call 911 and request MPD come pick up their boy.

| 20.6.22 18:26 | |  | Sorry, everybody, I napped through the period of time when it was 100 so no screen grab. I have failed you as a meteorologist. Here are the hourly readings from the airport where they officially even registered a 101! (Old record for any 6/20 ever was 98 [1933]. We also smashed the "highest low" record with 79; it WAS 75 [1943].) Anyway, first 100 since May 2018 blabbity blah (EDIT: Ooh, first 101 in almost a decade - July 2012) thank goodness my air conditioning worked and I was blissfully unaware and also that I still had cool cool aloe to smear on my nose and ankles. |
