Today's weather: station breaks 😃

working on getting the broadcast back up!! A very accurate weather report @Andy

Howdy, folks! Apologies for all of the messed up audio this morning. A server reboot overnight seems to have hosed a few settings which we're working on restoring right now. WPRB's streams are presently down, but we are broadcasting on FM loud and proud, so set your devices accordingly.

I should say: the streams aren't necessarily "down", but they're not playing Sara's show.

And that's what we're aiming to fix.

Morning all 🌄 the pop-up player is playing some chill guitar groove right now.

Thanks for the update, Mike!

I'll switch to terrestrial radio.

Looping King of the Hill/toilet sounds station ID had me cracking up during AM fitness routine!

Last night I dreamed of a funky drummer. He was punching me repeatedly in the face.

Yo Looping Tengo

I believe we are back. Please refresh your player if you're trying to listen online.

Semi-related: That Beverly Glenn-Copeland song is tops.

Huge thank you to mike for helping fix this!!

You're back!

Björk on both now.

I've heard far more "intense" looping glitches on streams, lol.

Thanks, Mike!

Bjork and harp yes

They were both necessary for this morning

Channeling their inner Fripp here

Yay Sara! Yay Mike and crew!

Same pose as the avatar pic... hand at cheek/ear level just right

lol @Brian agreed

Good sounds today Sara!

OK, I gotta bounce and get my day started for real, but thanks to Sara for hanging through this morning's tech woes. Everything should be good to go now.

Thanks, Sara & Mike

is there any way the DJ can see a record of what was playing in the 7-8am hour today? Trying to figure out what track played after "Every Last Coffee or Tea"....

beeeeeen loving the show :^))))

mike should indeed have a human sized trophy of him

and yep, maybe we call that a statue

Love "Alone Together" here's another great version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnKBa9fVlnM

Michael KT I was wondering the same. Today in the 8am EST was a unique robo dj experience so i guess only those 2 tracks were captured. I do know that the 75 $ Bill coffee or tea track was about a half hour long track or so. After that a mellow Yo La Tengo track played more than once maybe not complete all times

The 7am hour robo dj is now visible as of last couple months so that is a big bonus! Many a mystery tune heard over last 18 months

@joe thanks, looking forward to listening to this!!

@hanna let's get working on that statue promptly thank you

And you know... now that I think of it there may have been a Mdou Moctar or similar Mali / W African gtr track before 75 $ Bill... so my estimate of 1/2 hour length was wrong for their coffee tea song.

Thanks for the weather report today, Sara. ☀ You & Mike showed grace under pressure fetting it resolved. Have a great day!

Thanks Sara Mike Carl and all

Not sure if anyone is still looking, but the track that played after the first 75 Dollar Bill track this this morning was a recording of the same band playing live at WPRB several years ago.
