	10:06am lm gm hm: Bryan I was going to do a serial story with many chapters, but since you referenced it, I have been doing stories that people can't figure out if they are true since I was 12...what's most challenging, for me, is when the audience is 4 or 5 ..one if them after few minutes, gets a little suspicious..
	10:08am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ lm gm hm @10:06 true story or not, the idea of being evicted for listening to FMU is probably a detail many here can relate to.
	10:09am gmhm: thanks Bryan for your empathy and concern..much appreciated!
	10:11am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:13 Handy, I'm masking up more these days because of increased covid cases. Stay safe.

	10:22am msk: half was true..Will be gifting starting today in 5 hours.. would be funny if I learned Spanish and did stories in their language... the venenzuelans love to laugh..I found out something I didn't know last night..one of the best ways to learn a language is what a movie in English with Spanishh subtitles..better than duolingo or babbel
	10:24am Listener Tom: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:22 If you like Fendika, check out Qwanqwa - who come out of the same Azmari Bet scene in Addis. They're touring the U.S. in April...

	10:36am Bill @ActiveCultures: Speaking of Qwanqwa, I don’t see it on her IG now, but it’s founder Kaethe Hostetter, who also played violin in Debo Band, has been doing a bunch of solo shows in NY. I think she’s planning something next Sunday on the west side pre-globalFest so keep in the look out.

	10:06am lm gm hm: Bryan I was going to do a serial story with many chapters, but since you referenced it, I have been doing stories that people can't figure out if they are true since I was 12...what's most challenging, for me, is when the audience is 4 or 5 ..one if them after few minutes, gets a little suspicious..
	10:08am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ lm gm hm @10:06 true story or not, the idea of being evicted for listening to FMU is probably a detail many here can relate to.
	10:09am gmhm: thanks Bryan for your empathy and concern..much appreciated!

	10:22am msk: half was true..Will be gifting starting today in 5 hours.. would be funny if I learned Spanish and did stories in their language... the venenzuelans love to laugh..I found out something I didn't know last night..one of the best ways to learn a language is what a movie in English with Spanishh subtitles..better than duolingo or babbel
	10:24am Listener Tom: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:22 If you like Fendika, check out Qwanqwa - who come out of the same Azmari Bet scene in Addis. They're touring the U.S. in April...
