Listener comments!
	1:58am postconsumer: Hi! This program will begin in the morning. Soon. Looking forward! If you aren’t familiar, "Chris in the Morning" is Cicely, Alaska’s ONLY disc jockey. He has total freedom to say or do anything that crosses his mind, on the air, and plays whatever his whim tells him to. It’s wild. As in, Wildness. You know, compared to big corporate radio, anyway. As far as I'm concerned, this is what commercial radio is supposed to sound like. It’s big and bold, and very, very messy. In a good way, like Chris, taking the art of the overshare to a whole new level, or leaving the microphone on, so we can hear he's singing along. 🫎
	2:30am postconsumer: If you heard my last mix... this one will be a bit different. Chris Stevens is a very different DJ, and KBHR is a totally different format. I love them both, just for different reasons. You can find out more at: awphooey.com Looking forward to getting started in the morning... See you then! Jon
	2:43am postconsumer: Friday, June 21, from Noon to 4pm (EST)
	11:31am postconsumer: Good morning! Well, it's morning to me. I was up all night putting finishing touches on the show for today.
	11:33am postconsumer: The show should start promptly at Noon (est). Thanks for being here! :)
	👻 12:00pm Mr Fab: And off we go - up to Alaska!
	👻 12:05pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Waltz At Maxim's (She Is Not Thinking Of Me)" by ... not to be confused with Louis Jordan. Tho that would be an interesting duet.
	12:07pm postconsumer: Had to look that one up! :)
	👻 12:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" I like how it looks like he set up a studio in his garage.
	👻 12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Emabhaceni" by "Miriam Makeba" Ohmygosh, I loved this song! Had this album, haven't heard it in ages.
	12:12pm postconsumer: Yes! I just rewatched the whole series and that's exactly the sense. A little nest.
	12:19pm Sem: Along for the Wiggle. Hey, postconsumer, Mr. F..
	12:20pm postconsumer: ↳ Sem @12:19 Hi! Hope you're a fan of Northern Exposure...
	12:20pm postconsumer: 😁
	12:21pm soxlady: This is always such a fun song :-)
	12:22pm Sem: ↳ postconsumer @12:20 Not so much of a TV watcher but no worries, love music.
	12:24pm MarilynH: This 'Chris in the Morning' is GREAT!!!
	👻 12:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:20 When you were talking about this project Jon, I somehow never picked up that it was based on a TV show. Guess I was too concerned about the logistics of it all! Not familiar with the show, so I was wondering who is doing the DJ voice, but OK, now I get it!
	12:27pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:24 Thanks, Marilyn! You might not believe how long it took to get everything to line up just right. I love it though. Editing, I do for fun.
	12:29pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:25 I even told you it was the follow up to my Johnny Fever mix! More info at awphooey.com 😂 You helped me design the poster for wfmu! I am shocked. :)
	12:29pm soxlady: ↳ MarilynH @12:24 Agreed!!
	👻 12:35pm Mr Fab: Ha, no wonder I was confused by that poster! I was like, who’s that guy?
	12:39pm postconsumer: and now I remember... you said the first draft was "confused." 🤣 Sounds like you were the confused one... ha
	👻 12:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:39 Yep! That "Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot " song was also pretty confusing, in a fun way.
	12:41pm postconsumer: Fab, I bet you heard that edit. Wasn't mine. If I had to guess, I'd say the show's editors had to splice in a couple of words from an alternate take and no one noticed because no one watched tv with headphone on, back then
	12:41pm postconsumer: 🤣
	12:42pm postconsumer: I love picking up stuff like that. Like spotting inconsistencies in the production. I'm a huge fan though.
	12:44pm postconsumer: Welcome Sam, soxlady and all the many listeners I'm sure are tuned in. If you can, help get the word out. We're on for another three hours, today. And two hours, tomorrow. :)
	12:45pm postconsumer: Sem! (Not Sam, sorry)
	12:48pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:40 Surely, you've heard that before? I've been fascinated by it since I was a teen. You know how teens can be. Turns out to be of Scandinavian origin, as am I, of Scandinavian origin. Sweden, to be specific.
	12:51pm postconsumer: I don't know why I worded that so strange. anyway.
	👻 12:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:48 Nope, never heard it before. Maybe a regional/underground thing? Pretty wacky song. Maybe Dr Demento played it? But I don't recall it. Def lots of stuff I did love here today in my younger years: Miriam Makeba, Latin Playboys, Eno/Cale, oldies like Kingsmen. Did this TV show actually play all these songs?
	12:54pm postconsumer: A lot of his playlist is just SO familiar to me, after years of watching this show and listening to the soundtracks. and of course I was familiar with a lot of it from before the show even, but still, it was interesting to look up some of these records, during post production, and learn about them in their original context. That's a big part of the reason it's fun to do this in the first place.
	12:56pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:53 Much of it, yes! The program was notorious for having a great soundtrack, and then replacing it all with stuff that really wasn't, and then bringing some of it back online, but not all of it, and then a different selection of songs, overseas, or on DVD. It's been maddening. As a fan.
	👻 12:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:56 Very hip show!
	👻 1:00pm Mr Fab: "Caramba ..released one self-titled album ... chiefly notable due to the entire album being recorded in nonsense language." Well, dang, I gotta hear THAT! According to discogs, was not released in the US.
	👻 1:02pm Mr Fab: have no idea what's going on..
	1:02pm postconsumer: Technical difficulties. Mr. Fab is on it!
	1:03pm postconsumer: My player says "Cannot Connect: There could be an idle wiht your station's stream"
	1:03pm postconsumer: It's silent, now, btw Fab.
	1:05pm postconsumer: Can you restart it at 58min? That's where Summer starts
	1:05pm postconsumer: There you go! Thanks. oh wait now it's gone again.
	1:06pm postconsumer: Each hour is two minutes short, for stations to air their own spots. so by the end of our four hours, we'll still be on time for the next program.
	👻 1:06pm Mr Fab: ok, now? you may have to refresh your player
	1:07pm postconsumer: We're back! Thanks for fixing...
	1:07pm postconsumer: problem with the stream or what happened? I've not had that experience before.
	👻 1:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @1:07 check slack
	👻 1:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Toy Cows in Africa" by "Chance" Well, this is odd! And we're up to 1993. Thought we would be getting mostly '80s stuff - so this show ran for a while, eh? .
	1:24pm postconsumer: I was on for six years in the early nineties. For this mix I just played music that got played on the show, or songs I imagined Chris playing to fill the gaps. And since he's djing back in 1995 or earlier, I kept my choices to anything prior to 1995.
	1:45pm postconsumer: This is my favorite part.
	1:46pm postconsumer: I'm fairly certain this is a radio exclusive.
	1:46pm postconsumer: 😂
	1:51pm Herb: Hi Wigglers!
	1:52pm postconsumer: Hi, Herb!
	1:57pm postconsumer: My grandfather had this record. I remember this and The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers. Mid seventies
	👻 1:58pm Mr Fab: Was Willie Nelson ever young? That album cover, that voice - coulda come out last week. He may be a vampire.
	2:00pm postconsumer: System hung up again...
	2:01pm postconsumer: You'll want to restart it at 1hr:56min after Willie Nelson
	2:11pm postconsumer: We lost a few songs in the confusion. Sorry, everyone. It's my fault. Apparently if you have even a second between songs (and each segment ends with a fade), the system thinks it's time to switch to another record. The full mix will archive.
	2:30pm soxlady: Still enjoying it - thanks for putting this together!
	2:31pm postconsumer: ↳ soxlady @2:30 thank you! We'll switch the archived recording with the full mix, later.
	3:09pm TC: Fabulous way to slide into the weekend ... giddy up!
	3:15pm postconsumer: ↳ TC @3:09 Thanks, TC! Glad to have you here.
	3:16pm postconsumer: The Flange and Frigate is up next. Looking forward! And there will be a part 2, of this KBHR mix, tomorrow.
	👻 3:18pm Mr Fab: Merry Christmas, everybody!
	3:21pm postconsumer: ha ha. Winter time in Cicely, AL :)
	👻 3:39pm Mr Fab: There are so many christmas records, and some really good ones, that it seems a shame that we only hear them once a year. I like these non-seasonal seasonal shows.
	3:42pm postconsumer: I was thinking that, too. Sometimes Christmas in July is way more satisfying than December, when the music starts to get repeated too much
	👻 3:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @3:42 True!
	👻 3:52pm Mr Fab: So was this show set in the radio station, like WKRP?
	3:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @3:52 It was set in the fictional town of Cicely, Alaska. The station storefront is on the Main Street.
	3:56pm postconsumer: Many fans feel that while Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) stars, Chris Stevens (John Corbett) functions as the narrator of the show, almost. He really bings the town together, anyway. I tell you what. 🫎
	3:57pm TC: ↳ postconsumer @3:42 Radio Spirits on Sirius XM has "Christmas in July" programming every year where only program episodes featuring Christmas themes are broadcast.
	3:58pm postconsumer: The really popular opinion though is that the residents of the town are the star of the show. I'd really recommend you check it out! I usually tell people to start with an episode called Spring Break, if you're not sure you want to invest the time, at first.
	👻 4:00pm Mr Fab: thanks for a spectacular spectacular, Jon!
	4:04pm postconsumer: Thank for giving me the opportunity! See you all tomorrow, from 11-1pm, eastern for two new hours, from KBHR, in Cicely, Alaska...
	4:05pm postconsumer: and if you weren't aware, the show is streaming now on Prime. See you tomorrow! :)

Listener comments!
	1:58am postconsumer: Hi! This program will begin in the morning. Soon. Looking forward! If you aren’t familiar, "Chris in the Morning" is Cicely, Alaska’s ONLY disc jockey. He has total freedom to say or do anything that crosses his mind, on the air, and plays whatever his whim tells him to. It’s wild. As in, Wildness. You know, compared to big corporate radio, anyway. As far as I'm concerned, this is what commercial radio is supposed to sound like. It’s big and bold, and very, very messy. In a good way, like Chris, taking the art of the overshare to a whole new level, or leaving the microphone on, so we can hear he's singing along. 🫎
	2:30am postconsumer: If you heard my last mix... this one will be a bit different. Chris Stevens is a very different DJ, and KBHR is a totally different format. I love them both, just for different reasons. You can find out more at: awphooey.com Looking forward to getting started in the morning... See you then! Jon
	2:43am postconsumer: Friday, June 21, from Noon to 4pm (EST)
	11:31am postconsumer: Good morning! Well, it's morning to me. I was up all night putting finishing touches on the show for today.
	11:33am postconsumer: The show should start promptly at Noon (est). Thanks for being here! :)
	👻 12:00pm Mr Fab: And off we go - up to Alaska!
	👻 12:05pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Waltz At Maxim's (She Is Not Thinking Of Me)" by ... not to be confused with Louis Jordan. Tho that would be an interesting duet.
	12:07pm postconsumer: Had to look that one up! :)
	👻 12:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" I like how it looks like he set up a studio in his garage.
	👻 12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Emabhaceni" by "Miriam Makeba" Ohmygosh, I loved this song! Had this album, haven't heard it in ages.
	12:12pm postconsumer: Yes! I just rewatched the whole series and that's exactly the sense. A little nest.
	12:19pm Sem: Along for the Wiggle. Hey, postconsumer, Mr. F..
	12:20pm postconsumer: ↳ Sem @12:19 Hi! Hope you're a fan of Northern Exposure...
	12:20pm postconsumer: 😁
	12:21pm soxlady: This is always such a fun song :-)
	12:22pm Sem: ↳ postconsumer @12:20 Not so much of a TV watcher but no worries, love music.
	12:24pm MarilynH: This 'Chris in the Morning' is GREAT!!!
	👻 12:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:20 When you were talking about this project Jon, I somehow never picked up that it was based on a TV show. Guess I was too concerned about the logistics of it all! Not familiar with the show, so I was wondering who is doing the DJ voice, but OK, now I get it!
	12:27pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:24 Thanks, Marilyn! You might not believe how long it took to get everything to line up just right. I love it though. Editing, I do for fun.
	12:29pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:25 I even told you it was the follow up to my Johnny Fever mix! More info at awphooey.com 😂 You helped me design the poster for wfmu! I am shocked. :)
	12:29pm soxlady: ↳ MarilynH @12:24 Agreed!!
	👻 12:35pm Mr Fab: Ha, no wonder I was confused by that poster! I was like, who’s that guy?
	12:39pm postconsumer: and now I remember... you said the first draft was "confused." 🤣 Sounds like you were the confused one... ha
	👻 12:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:39 Yep! That "Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot " song was also pretty confusing, in a fun way.
	12:41pm postconsumer: Fab, I bet you heard that edit. Wasn't mine. If I had to guess, I'd say the show's editors had to splice in a couple of words from an alternate take and no one noticed because no one watched tv with headphone on, back then
	12:41pm postconsumer: 🤣
	12:42pm postconsumer: I love picking up stuff like that. Like spotting inconsistencies in the production. I'm a huge fan though.
	12:44pm postconsumer: Welcome Sam, soxlady and all the many listeners I'm sure are tuned in. If you can, help get the word out. We're on for another three hours, today. And two hours, tomorrow. :)
	12:45pm postconsumer: Sem! (Not Sam, sorry)
	12:48pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:40 Surely, you've heard that before? I've been fascinated by it since I was a teen. You know how teens can be. Turns out to be of Scandinavian origin, as am I, of Scandinavian origin. Sweden, to be specific.
	12:51pm postconsumer: I don't know why I worded that so strange. anyway.
	👻 12:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:48 Nope, never heard it before. Maybe a regional/underground thing? Pretty wacky song. Maybe Dr Demento played it? But I don't recall it. Def lots of stuff I did love here today in my younger years: Miriam Makeba, Latin Playboys, Eno/Cale, oldies like Kingsmen. Did this TV show actually play all these songs?
	12:54pm postconsumer: A lot of his playlist is just SO familiar to me, after years of watching this show and listening to the soundtracks. and of course I was familiar with a lot of it from before the show even, but still, it was interesting to look up some of these records, during post production, and learn about them in their original context. That's a big part of the reason it's fun to do this in the first place.
	12:56pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @12:53 Much of it, yes! The program was notorious for having a great soundtrack, and then replacing it all with stuff that really wasn't, and then bringing some of it back online, but not all of it, and then a different selection of songs, overseas, or on DVD. It's been maddening. As a fan.
	👻 12:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @12:56 Very hip show!
	👻 1:00pm Mr Fab: "Caramba ..released one self-titled album ... chiefly notable due to the entire album being recorded in nonsense language." Well, dang, I gotta hear THAT! According to discogs, was not released in the US.
	👻 1:02pm Mr Fab: have no idea what's going on..
	1:02pm postconsumer: Technical difficulties. Mr. Fab is on it!
	1:03pm postconsumer: My player says "Cannot Connect: There could be an idle wiht your station's stream"
	1:03pm postconsumer: It's silent, now, btw Fab.
	1:05pm postconsumer: Can you restart it at 58min? That's where Summer starts
	1:05pm postconsumer: There you go! Thanks. oh wait now it's gone again.
	1:06pm postconsumer: Each hour is two minutes short, for stations to air their own spots. so by the end of our four hours, we'll still be on time for the next program.
	👻 1:06pm Mr Fab: ok, now? you may have to refresh your player
	1:07pm postconsumer: We're back! Thanks for fixing...
	1:07pm postconsumer: problem with the stream or what happened? I've not had that experience before.
	👻 1:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @1:07 check slack
	👻 1:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Toy Cows in Africa" by "Chance" Well, this is odd! And we're up to 1993. Thought we would be getting mostly '80s stuff - so this show ran for a while, eh? .
	1:24pm postconsumer: I was on for six years in the early nineties. For this mix I just played music that got played on the show, or songs I imagined Chris playing to fill the gaps. And since he's djing back in 1995 or earlier, I kept my choices to anything prior to 1995.
	1:45pm postconsumer: This is my favorite part.
	1:46pm postconsumer: I'm fairly certain this is a radio exclusive.
	1:46pm postconsumer: 😂
	1:51pm Herb: Hi Wigglers!
	1:52pm postconsumer: Hi, Herb!
	1:57pm postconsumer: My grandfather had this record. I remember this and The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers. Mid seventies
	👻 1:58pm Mr Fab: Was Willie Nelson ever young? That album cover, that voice - coulda come out last week. He may be a vampire.
	2:00pm postconsumer: System hung up again...
	2:01pm postconsumer: You'll want to restart it at 1hr:56min after Willie Nelson
	2:11pm postconsumer: We lost a few songs in the confusion. Sorry, everyone. It's my fault. Apparently if you have even a second between songs (and each segment ends with a fade), the system thinks it's time to switch to another record. The full mix will archive.
	2:30pm soxlady: Still enjoying it - thanks for putting this together!
	2:31pm postconsumer: ↳ soxlady @2:30 thank you! We'll switch the archived recording with the full mix, later.
	3:09pm TC: Fabulous way to slide into the weekend ... giddy up!
	3:15pm postconsumer: ↳ TC @3:09 Thanks, TC! Glad to have you here.
	3:16pm postconsumer: The Flange and Frigate is up next. Looking forward! And there will be a part 2, of this KBHR mix, tomorrow.
	👻 3:18pm Mr Fab: Merry Christmas, everybody!
	3:21pm postconsumer: ha ha. Winter time in Cicely, AL :)
	👻 3:39pm Mr Fab: There are so many christmas records, and some really good ones, that it seems a shame that we only hear them once a year. I like these non-seasonal seasonal shows.
	3:42pm postconsumer: I was thinking that, too. Sometimes Christmas in July is way more satisfying than December, when the music starts to get repeated too much
	👻 3:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ postconsumer @3:42 True!
	👻 3:52pm Mr Fab: So was this show set in the radio station, like WKRP?
	3:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr Fab @3:52 It was set in the fictional town of Cicely, Alaska. The station storefront is on the Main Street.
	3:56pm postconsumer: Many fans feel that while Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) stars, Chris Stevens (John Corbett) functions as the narrator of the show, almost. He really bings the town together, anyway. I tell you what. 🫎
	3:57pm TC: ↳ postconsumer @3:42 Radio Spirits on Sirius XM has "Christmas in July" programming every year where only program episodes featuring Christmas themes are broadcast.
	3:58pm postconsumer: The really popular opinion though is that the residents of the town are the star of the show. I'd really recommend you check it out! I usually tell people to start with an episode called Spring Break, if you're not sure you want to invest the time, at first.
	👻 4:00pm Mr Fab: thanks for a spectacular spectacular, Jon!
	4:04pm postconsumer: Thank for giving me the opportunity! See you all tomorrow, from 11-1pm, eastern for two new hours, from KBHR, in Cicely, Alaska...
	4:05pm postconsumer: and if you weren't aware, the show is streaming now on Prime. See you tomorrow! :)
