“Jammin’ with Jamie” on Hiatus Until September

Hi, everyone!

WNUR is undergoing renovations, so Jammin’ with Jamie will be taking a break until September. Check back here to find out when we’ll be jammin’ again!

Thank you, Jammers, for your patience as WNUR continues to improve your listening (and jammin’) experience. I hope you consider jammin’ with us when we resume jammin’ Saturdays at 7 am ET/6 am CT on 89.3 WNUR FM! If you want to hear it in the meantime, let me know: I record every show and will happily send it to you! For more information about Jammin’ with Jamie, go here!

Thank you for reading, listening, and “jammin’,”
Jamie Lee

Hi, everyone!

We’re celebrating the 4th of July on Jammin’ with Jamie, though in a different way than you might expect.

Since we jammed to politically-adjacent pieces recently, we’re going tackle this jam session from a different angle. We’re going to turn our focus to a subject that gets a lot of political attention from every side of the proverbial aisle.

So spruce up your resume and brush up on your interview skills, because we’re going to be jammin’ to some…

You’re hired!

At this time of year, many of us travel, whether for day trips or full-blown vacations.

It’s time for the next leg of our Jammin’ with Jamie road trip that we started last week!

We’re already packed, so let’s set off!

Hi, everyone!

Here at Jammin’ with Jamie, we jam to a lot of songs celebrating people (and other individuals) who take a stand. So I’ve decided to gather a whole group of them to create a powerful demonstration of…

What do we want?!

Hi, everyone!

There’s been a lot of grassroots political action lately. People who are generally not politically active have been spurred to action.

We’ve done this a couple times before, and I’ve “elected” to do it again!

So whether you’re marching in this year’s Pride Parade, giving a speech, or calling your representatives to voice your opinion, we’re here to give you the perfect background music with a party––– pun intended––– of…

Hi, everyone!

I’m putting out a call for another grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition!

But first, I’ve been doing musical improv at The iO Theater in Chicago in the group Charge Me Up!

Here’s our show from May 8, when the audience suggestion was, “Wedgie!”

Here’s our show from May 15, when the audience suggestion was, “Snowboard!”

And here’s a playlist of all the musical improv shows I’ve been in at The iO Theater so far!

Jammers… ASSEMBLE!

Due to technical issues, this Jammin’ with Jamie will happen Saturday, May 6!

Hi, everyone!

It’s time for another annual Jammin’ with Jamie tradition… that started last year.

But it was a ton of freaky fun, so we’re doing it again!

You’ve heard of Christmas in July, now get ready for an early celebration of another holiday!

Six months from now, we’ll be having a ghoulishly good time celebrating, so let’s start now with a haunted house of harmonies reminding us that we’re…

Clear away those cobwebs to reveal…

Hi, everyone!

So how are you doing on those taxes, fellow Jammers?

Whether you’re panicking because you’re filing late or breathing a deep sigh of relief because you finished before the deadline, relax and have fun with us on this week’s Jammin’ with Jamie!

Yes, we’re filing this annual Jammin’ with Jamie tradition a tad late this year, but unlike filing income taxes late, there’s no penalty for having a tax-themed jam session late… I think.

Either way, you don’t need to file any paperwork to reap the benefits of…

Cha-ching!
