Who let radio stations fall off? Certainly not me
Reminds me of sitting in my carseat singing along to my mom's favorite songs on the way to school and listening to those friendly familiar voices greet me every morning. Good times

I was telling my roommates about how i like playing the radio at my work bc i feel like it puts people at ease and gives us things to talk about. It became a long conversation about the stations and the DJs we grew up with as kids and we could all remember exact soundbites. I was reminiscing about listening to local radio stations on trips with family/friends and how it grounded us in an exact place and time. Just a magical invention that feels underrated and sweetly archaic in streaming times 💘

Recently, my car's aux finally broke for good, so while I wait to replace it, I've been listening to my local alternative radio station. The traffic report is super helpful and I love my DJs!! Like, these are people in my community that have been on the air for at least 10+ years and I love that I can trust them. Sometimes I'll tune in and it's really not my thing but then the next song is so near and dear to my heart. Maybe it's because my friend's mom would pick us up either blasting Kendrick's DAMN or 92 The ZEW, but it's such a nice nostalgic feeling for me. It's crazy to tune into the radio and hear the same voice introduce the same song that I heard ten years ago with my bestie. So try pausing your playlist and let the DJs guide you next time you buckle up.

It’s always sing-along hits only. I love the chaos of audio only ads. I love it when the DJs do prank calls and giveaways. I love the local news. So many people get the duties of aux control wrong, and it’s always better vibes to give up control of the soundtrack and listen to what everyone else is listening to. Listening to ads is fun and also cultivates patience. Even if you have to switch stations there is always something good somewhere to tune into. Enough with the aux.

I know I know, share the love and all
But you all already know too much ab me. Can’t let the outside circle know who I actually am, gotta keep the mysterious act up somehow

being an adult can get real busy, and I don’t have as much time to see my friends anymore. our solution for this has become a regular debrief night every 1-2 months. here’s the structure:
- cook or order a meal together
- come in the comfiest clothes
- late at night is ideal
- prepare throughout the week by building a PowerPoint with sections for each friend detailing important updates/occurrences in their lives (I like to present mine as little stories with pics for reference)
- appendix at the end of the ppt of new friends, enemies, and everyone’s “OOO” dates so we can make plans accordingly
these nights have come to be some of the best memories for us, and is now something everyone in our circles knows about - anytime something happens, someone asks us “will this/I be in the debrief now?” it’s structured fun and a great way to stay connected with my people. highly recommend if you have the time!
