I made it into the night’s recap looking like a dork.

I didn’t have a plan on what to play tonight hosting “The Young Professional” on @wrir973fm.bsky.social but I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks for tuning in! You can listen to the show here: www.wrir.org/2025/08/14/t...

Had a lousy day so I played a bunch of songs that made me feel better tonight on @wrir973fm.bsky.social
