“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Marvelous Motivational Melodies”!

Hi, everyone!

It’s about the time of year when a lot of people start giving up on their New Year’s resolutions. Whether they’re voluntarily throwing in the towel, “taking a break,” or just completely forgot that they even made a resolution, by the end of January, many people find themselves disillusioned that the New Year isn’t bringing them all that they’d hoped.

But here’s the big secret: positive change and growth don’t just happen because you changed your calendar. Goals don’t achieve themselves. You have to make them happen.

As I’ve said many times before on Jammin’ with Jamie, one way to get and stay motivated is to get a great song in your head. Whether it’s just to distract you until you’ve started and you’re on a roll, or to keep you going after you’ve made that first step, having a song to make you smile and push harder can be indispensable.

But where can you find such songs? I’m glad you asked! And even if you didn’t, here’s the answer: just jam with us on this week’s Jammin’ with Jamie, where we’ll be presenting a mix of…

And you don’t even have to leave your house!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Reflective Wrap-Up Refrains”!

Hi, everyone!

Now that the New Year has arrived, holiday season is officially over. The next major holiday isn’t for another month, and it’s a divisive one, to say the least!

Until then, we’re in this odd “in-between” time: fresh off a series of tightly-packed holidays, still in the midst of winter, and searching for something to look forward to.

But, we can still enjoy this time! If you watched any version of A Christmas Carol during holiday season, you probably heard the line about living “in the past, the present, and the future.”

So, we’re going to take this time to do just that, and jam to a round of…

“Magic mirror on the wall…”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Seasonal Songs”!

Hi, everyone!

Two weeks ago, we jammed to a slew of sunny summer songs to ring in the season!

But with the heat of summer on full blast, it can be easy to just start complaining about the sun and humidity and forget that the warmth is only temporary. In just a couple of months, we’ll all be digging our heavy coats out of the back of the closet!

Although many people have a favorite season, each season has its perks and its drawbacks. So this week, we’re going to celebrate every season with a super set of…

‘Tis the season for jammin’!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Patriotic Tunes”!

Hi, everyone!

It’s time for our first-ever Fourth of July-themed Jammin’ with Jamie jam session!

Before you head out to your local parade, carnival, barbecue, or other event, join us on Jammin’ with Jamie as we jam to…

Time for fireworks!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Jungle Jams”!

Hi, everyone!

As we discussed last month, now that spring is here, we’re seeing a lot more animals again!

Also, Disney’s newest animated film, Zootopia, opened in theaters last month (If you haven’t seen it, you really should!) and Disney’s live action remake of The Jungle Book opens next week!

Some people complain about animals. I don’t see the point in that. Humans share the Earth with all sorts of amazing creatures, so why not embrace it?

Start brushing up on your animal impressions, because this week, we’re jammin’ to…

The suspense is driving me WILD!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs of Friendship: Redux!”

Hi, everyone!

Thank you again to all of you to stayed with us so patiently as we worked through unexpected technical difficulties last week.

To make up for lost time, I decided to not only carry over the songs we had to skip over last week for the sake of time, but also the whole theme, giving us…

Let’s do this! … Again!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs of Friendship!”

Hi, everyone!

Oftentimes, it can seem like there’s just too much emphasis on romantic relationships.

So, after our annual Jammin’ with Jamie Valentine’s Day shows, I like to turn the attention to something that I don’t think gets celebrated nearly enough…

Then let’s celebrate!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Sidesplitting Serenades (Part 2)!”

Hi, everyone!

Valentine’s Day may be over, but we’re still celebrating on Jammin’ with Jamie in our own unique way!

Our last jam session was met with some great reactions, proving once more that no matter what your feelings are about Valentine’s Day, hilarious music unites us all!

After our previous jam session was such a hit, now I’m even more excited for us to continue jammin’ to…

It’s love at first listen!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Rousing Refrains!”

Hi, everyone!

At this time of year, it seems like a lot of people start to lose their spirits. The novelty of the new year has worn off and they start giving up on their resolutions. The holiday season has ended, but the cold weather and limited daylight remain.

Well, one thing I love to do on Jammin’ with Jamie is motivate you!

In fact, one of the best ways to get motivated is to have a song in your head, so with that in mind, let’s jam to…

“I’m pumped! Let’s go!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Wintertime Tunes!”

Hi, everyone!

I’m ba-ack!

That’s right: Jammin’ with Jamie is back on the air on 89.3 WNUR FM every Saturday morning from 6:00 to 7:00 am!

It seems that we’re finally getting some winter weather!

But, after such a warm holiday season, it can be difficult to adjust to weather we would usually be used to by now.

So, how do we get into the season?

Don’t worry: I have a plan! Join me as we jam to…

This is going to be so “COOL”!
