I Want a Good Playlist Bad

…is a whole lotta love!

I want to thank everyone who pledged in last week’s on air fundraiser. If you missed it, you still have until midnight next Wednesday. I’m particularly grateful to everyone who pledged during Coffeetime. And I want to thank my WMBR pals who helped me during the show: Larry Azrin, Patrick Bryant, John Funke, Doug Gesler,  Charlie Kohlhase, Scott Mullen, Keith Sawyer, Bruce Sylvester, and anyone else I might be forgetting. This year was a huge success and shows how fervently WMBR is loved by our listeners. Thanks!
