Hi, everyone!
Even though it may not feel like it, it is indeed officially spring!
Spring is one of those times when it seems like everything gets the chance to start new––– trees’ leaves grow back, flowers start blooming again, and animals are running around outside again, many with new families!
So this week, we’re going to expand our audience to welcome our animal friends and shake our tail feathers to…
Hi, everyone!
Have you noticed something… different outside? Maybe you’ve noticed that you can now see the grass where there was once snow. Maybe you’ve noticed that there are more animals roaming around. Maybe you absentmindedly bundled up for sub-zero temperatures and a wicked wind chill recently, only to go outside and immediately regret your decision as you start sweating, which only gets worse as you look around and see that everyone else had the foresight to actually check the forecast before instinctively suiting up.
… That last one happened to a friend.
Now in the Midwest, particularly in the Chicagoland area, we know to never take non-extreme weather for granted, because tomorrow could bring a blizzard, thunderstorm, heat wave, or any other manner of dangerous weather, during which we’ll no doubt continue to go about our daily lives, anyway. Frankly, a real-life “sharknado” wouldn’t shake us.
So, in the spirit of enjoying the weather before it blows over––– literally––– this week, we’re going to jam to…
Hi, everyone!
It’s time for the fourth installment of another grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition! This Sunday, February 22, Neil Patrick Harris will take the stage and host the 87th Academy Awards!
So we’re going to have our very own pre-Oscar party!
Hi, everyone!
Today is Friday the 13th, and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. So for some people, this year, they’ll have two days of bad luck!
Cue the rimshot!
Whether you love Valentine’s Day or hate it, you’re going to want to be jammin’ with us this week!
Get ready to laugh your heart out, as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
Even though we’re more than halfway through January, it’s still a good time to remind ourselves that a new year means a new start… if we make it that way, of course!
So, to further encourage you to seize the day and claim a fresh start for yourself, this week, we’re going to continue jamming to…
Hi, everyone!
If you’re in the Chicagoland area, you know we’ve been having some crazy weather lately. Of course, this is par for the course in the Chicagoland area.
But even so, it can be hard to withstand the constant swinging from one weather extreme to another.
That’s where I come in!
This week, cozy up to your radio (or computer or mobile device), and tune in as we jam to…
Hi, everyone!
Everyone needs a little pick-me-up every now and then. Everyone needs a little motivation, a voice saying, “You can do it!”
This seems especially true at certain times of the year––– for example, this time. Students are back in school, summer has ended for everyone (in this hemisphere, anyway), and there often seems to just be a sort of dip in people’s spirits in this transitional time between summer and the avalanche of holidays ahead, starting, of course, with Halloween!
But we’ll get to that soon! For now, we need some…
Hi, everyone!
I did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! Idina Menzel and James Snyder, thank you for the challenge!
Pee-wee Herman, Gonzo the Great, and Communications Residential College (CRC) residents past and present, you’ve been challenged!
You can make a donation to the ALS Association, too, at alsa.org. It’s a great cause!
Hi, everyone!
For most students, this time of year means the start of summer vacation, but even if you long ago closed your last textbook, we’re all still heading into summer! Summer seems to have a way of revitalizing people and inspiring them to embark on new endeavors with new energy. Well, who am I to argue with that?!
So, in the words of a certain new Broadway musical, “Here I Go”… or rather, here we go…
Hi, everyone!
I apologize in advance for reminding you of this… but on April 15, income taxes are due.
But wait! Whether you’re still working on them, are still putting them off, or are actually already done and just want to enjoy your accomplishment, we have a great jam session for you, as we jam to…
