Top 5 – Books
I like to consider myself an avid reader. If I had to choose 5 books from my shelf to have while stranded on a deserted island (based on re-readability, love of characters/world/subject matter) , I’d choose: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep – Philip K. Dick Lord of the Rings/Hobbit – J. R. R. Tolkien Alice’s Adventures … Read More »
Top 5 – Halloween Candy
I’ll fully admit it: Halloween is my favorite holiday! To me, it’s the culmination of Fall… the leaves have changed, the air is crisp and the costume is on! My mother used to sew my costumes from scratch and my fave for several years in a row was the devil costume complete with my face … Read More »
Another one bites the dust
It’s always a shocking and sad thing when we lose yet another classical station, and it reminds me how lucky we are here in Baltimore! From the Portland Press Herald: Classical radio network WBACH’s southern Maine station will go off the air next week. The station — WBQW, heard in the Portland area on 104.7 FM — … Read More »
Programming grid
It might not be the prettiest thing around, but it’s OURS! http://www.wbjc.com/our-programs/wbjc-program-grid/ We’ve been asked many times for a grid-style listing of our program schedule, and I’m happy to say I finally learned how to get one from Excel into WordPress (no small feat I’ll have you know!!) Enjoy folks! Related posts: Photos of our … Read More »
I believe in what we do
My husband and I ate out last night and he commented on how fantastic our waiter was. He’s of the mindset that great service can make a meal so much better, whereas even a fantastic meal can be ruined by terrible service. I wholeheartedly agree with him, although a burned meal probably can’t be salvaged no matter … Read More »
How can I listen on my…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve answered a few emails from listeners who are trying out various non-traditional means of listening to WBJC. I thought some of you might find it helpful to know how they are doing it, and possibly share your own creative ways of listening! At home, I listen on my TV via … Read More »
Summer Vacation
A lot of our staffers are taking breaks (myself included later this month!) Anyone out there doing anything fun/relaxing with their time? My husband and I are going to Deep Creek in western Maryland soon. I’ve never been, but I’m wondering if any of you have; and if so, what would you recommend doing/eating/seeing in … Read More »
New Booth
Jim Ward walked into the station today with a mysterious rolling container. We gathered in the conference room (a.k.a. Pledge Central) and he began assembling the backdrop for our new booth! UPDATE: The WBJC Host appearance schedule for the Baltimore summer antiques show is: Thursday 8/23: Jonathan Palevsky 12p-2p Kati Harrison 4p-6p … Read More »
Mozart in Wool
For those of you who’ve come in to volunteer during a fundraiser, it’s probably no big secret that I’m a Fiber Addict. That is to say: I love yarn and yarn related activities. I usually have my knitting with me back in Volunteer Central, but I also spin yarn on a spinning wheel, weave cloth … Read More »
POWER OUTAGE – Station on low power~
Hi listeners! Last night’s storms knocked out power at both our transmitter and studio sites. Engineer Bob and Jonathan Palevsky have managed to scale downed trees and get the transmitter back on low-power. The studios remain on generator back-up (and we have no internet, so we are unable to update the playlist until I get … Read More »
