Good piece, Jim. I'm a fellow lover of public radio. I've been doing my current show for about 35 years now. I just wrote an ode to the college station that twisted my head off and the music it exposed me to. https://flamingspud.substack.com/p/when-a-public-radio-station-warped

A nice trip through the EMRs of yester-years. Glad for the few we shared. And yeah, an ego stroke to see my early design work on the playlist.

Early morning riser?

Norm would love you for that! He did, in fact, intend that EMR would be both Early Morning Rider and Electro Magnetic Radiation.

And sorry, meant Riser, not Rider. @#$!&^ auto spell!
