Hi, everyone!

Happy New Year!

Whether you celebrate New Year’s or went to bed early, the turning to the new page of the calendar does bring with it the turning to new pages of all sorts of chapters. Many deadlines happen at the end of the year. Many projects don’t begin until the start of the year. These can be outside decisions outside of our control, but they can also be convenient time markers for our own decisions.

All these endings and beginnings also make it a prime time to take some of our own steps. We can start anew anytime we want, even if it’s just step by step… those steps add up!

So let’s motivate ourselves to take that step as we step to the beat into the new year to a batch of…

… “New Beginning Beats (2026)”!

This week, we’re jammin’ to a batch of beats about new beginnings, fresh start follies, and new journey jams!

The tunes we’ll be jammin’ to this week come courtesy of artists such as Idina Menzel, Bing Crosby, Neil Patrick Harris, and more! Certain selections come from films such as Spirited (2022), Hairspray (2007), and The Princess and the Frog (2009), TV shows such as Hazbin Hotel, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Galavant, and musicals such as The Book of Mormon, If/Then, and Brides! Check out the categories and tags below for more clues!

I hope you consider jammin’ with us this Saturday at 7 am ET/6 am CT on 89.3 WNUR FM! If you like what you hear, 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
