Four new words I've recently learned that I believe will be very useful:
Psychrophilic. Thriving in low temperatures. This is a hallmark of all who enjoy winter sports. Example: "I am not psychrophilic, so no, I won't luge with you today."
Fantod. A state of irritability and tension. Example: "I am fantod, and fantod is us."
Podsnappery. Refusing to acknowledge unpleasant facts. Example: "Broadway musicals often provide me with podsnappery, and then some, pal!"
Epicharikaky. Joy found in the misery of others. Example: "I can't really pronounce epicharikaky, but it sounds like schadenfreude to me."
As you can imagine, usage opportunities abound! I need to write these on my bathroom mirror and practice while I shave in the mornings. :) Not sure if I'll actually say them on air (that last one will not flow easily off my lips, ever), but I'll give them the old college try.
MEANWHILE...
Pledge Drive Time! Yup, when those leaves start falling, you know we'll come begging for Jazz 90.1 support. I'll try to make all that fund raising talk upbeat, podsnappy, and exude not one iota of fantod! But remember that this station could go POOF (like those memorable flops... The Golden Apple, Big, Spiderman, and Merrily We Roll Along) if our coffers go empty.
Ginger has the right idea.
So the playlist has EVERYTHING! Quite literally! Plus Time (Jazz 90.1 has been circling the Sun for 49 years) and Life (cuz we're still alive). You can call in your donation, you can do it online, you can mail in a check...lots of ways to give us dough, and of course when you do, thank you gifts a go go will be sailing back your way. And come 2023, you can be a Jubilarian (okay, I snuck in another new word, but you can GUESS that meaning, right?) and help us celebrate a healthy 50 years!
