Since we are talking Billy Joel right now, I will unleash my take that The Stranger is the ideal album to listen to on a treadmill. Catchy songs you can sing along to in your head … good tempo… variety

Drinking coffee from my @wfuv.bsky.social mug today. I’ve been in public media since I walked into WFUV in 2004. I believe in the mission and goals of public broadcasting.

We will keep doing the work as best as we can. We will need your support to do it more than ever before, though.

Still here, still working for you: with Michel Martin in NPR Studio 31 at 5:19am.
