Sean McKee, better known as Big Daddy, is one of the greatest DJs. He’s the guy for all kinds of events, a bright beam of positive energy. And he’ll be the Guest Host of my WPKN program this month, Saturday the 11th from Noon. 89.5MHz and streaming at wpkn dot org. And there’s a lovely app, too.
Here’s my most recent WPKN program. It featured Gertrude Lawrence, Ethel Waters, Geri Southern, and Joya Sherrill. Along with some odds and ends, including Woody Guthrie’s message to fascists.

I recently replaced my 2003 Lexus with a 2020 Hyundai Sonata. Much better mileage and just enough room for my corpulence.

I’ve been wondering what your take is.
Gathering of fascists in Moscow, Elon Musk's father in attendance
Although many hoped otherwise, we do not seem to be returning to a world in which the center left and the center right compete over tax rates or budgets. Every election is now existential

ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter.

A group of MAGA terrorists wearing red hats gathered outside a window of the Capitol building, watching the interior scene before breaking in.
A tweet by Kristina Wong attacking the Biden administration's financial support to Ukraine, expressing skepticism about its intent and effectiveness.
The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

Another excellent one! Tank top allergy confirmed.
Glad to see this, since I hadn’t yet followed you here. Thanks for everything!
It's as American as chattel slavery, the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment, and Indian Boarding Schools. Project 2025 really isn't relying on any other history than America's. I need y'all to tap into what has been happening here all along.

The new studios are lovely, too.
WPKN has a new app! So delete the old WPKN LIVE and replace it with WPKN. The stream is excellent, and the selections are displayed in real time.

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up...
So far tonight, Republicans have blocked amendments that would:

– Protect disaster response and recovery
- Secure Social Security benefits
- Preserve federal lands
