One thing the ABS has proven is that MLB catchers know the strike zone way better than the umps. #mlb

I’m pretty overwhelmed at the outpouring of support for last night’s final edition of The Alternate Side. It’s incredible to see how impactful the show was for so many people and I’m honored to have fostered that connection.

Humbled and grateful…

Coming up at 9p, it’s the last ride for The Alternate Side.

I’ve got all kinds of feels right now so it would be great if you could join me to help sort through them all.

Hit me up if you have a request and I’ll see you at 9p on @wfuv.bsky.social.

Let’s celebrate the artists, influence, and legacy of The Alternate Side together. The show may be ending, but what it meant to so many never will. As a wise, melancholy voice once said, there is a light that will never go out. (3/3)

There are so many moments and memories that it’s impossible to capture them all in one show, but I’ll do my best this Friday night on @wfuv.bsky.social for the final edition. (2/3)

After more than a decade on Friday nights (with earlier incarnations dating back to 2008) The Alternate Side is coming to an end.

It’s been an incredible ride, and I’m honored to have been part of TAS for the past 15+ years. (1/3)

If you haven’t listened to Angel Dust from Faith No More in a while, good news. It’s still brilliant.

So sad to see the news about Todd Snider. A gentle soul, sweet human being, and witty as hell songwriter. R.I.P.

Coming off the great show they did for @wfuv.bsky.social the other night, I’ll spin another one from the great new record from @themountaingoats.bsky.social.

Count on a bunch of other cool new stuff, some curveballs, and an overall good time to be had by all.

I can’t be the only one that turns their head to the side and mouths “special“ during Brass in Pocket, right?

Another sad adjustment in adulthood. If you think something is 20 years old, chances are it’s more like 30.

Not going to lie. Very excited for The Alternate Side coming up at 9p on @wfuv.bsky.social, but…

I’m even MORE excited b/c we are just four weeks away from the annual Alternate Side Halloween special.

What songs do you want to hear?

Simply put, the Mets played themselves out of the playoffs. They absolutely must address what went wrong and what improvements need to be made to fix it.

It’s gonna be a really long offseason for the players who will be back.

But…

I still love them.
