College radio is ALIVE... AND LIVE AND LOUD!! Congrats to @wmsc.bsky.social for putting together their inaugural Battle Of The Bands at Crossroads in Garwood. It was a packed house, and the WMSC crew put their heart and soul into it. Always glad to support my FIRST (AND BEST) radio station!

I'm always happy to help my friends at Special Olympics NJ and it was a blast being on the mic and on the boardwalk with Big Joe Henry from NJ 101.5 for Saturday's Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights! Raised $2.5mil for SONJ!!

RIP Peter Yarrow. From the "March On Washington" to the WCBS studio for WhyHunger, he was a tireless advocate for social justice & human rights. It was an honor to meet & interview him for Hungerthon2017. To me, he proved that not all heroes wear capes; they sometimes carry battered acoustic guitars

One from the archives for our listeners of the late great WCBS880. As this holiday card from 1990 shows, I was always happy to help out Santa. 🙂🎅

Not gonna lie, it's been a tough year. In a span of 10 weeks, WCBS went dark and I lost my job, then we lost both of our wonderful pups. But hey, as Springsteen sang, "hard times come and hard times go"...
