“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “New Beginning Beats (2024)”!

Hi, everyone!

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are both symbolically and literally times when we start anew. Sometimes by our own choice. Sometimes by the choices of people around us who decide that date is as good a date as any. Whether it’s thrust upon you or you chose to begin a new chapter, either way towards the end of January… that’s when it can start to turn. Maybe there’s more of a learning curve than you’re used to. Maybe you’re not getting the results you hoped for. Maybe, for whatever reason, you’re just getting sick of it.

Whether you’re excited, venting, or just want to reignite that spark inside you, we’ve got tunes for you, as we jam to a batch of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Celebrating the Season Songs (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

This week’s Jammin’ with Jamie will have a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT about an upcoming show!

We’ll jam to our Haunting Holiday Harmonies jam session next Saturday! Thank you for your patience as WNUR works through hiccups.

Some of us are getting ready for Christmas, some of us are getting ready for Kwanzaa, and some of us who celebrated Chanukah, which ended last week, and other holidays from earlier in the month may still be enjoying what resulted from those holidays.

So, we’re going to jam to a sack of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Haunting Holiday Harmonies (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

Some people love the holiday season. Some people feel… less than jolly.

Many of our spooky pals celebrate the season like so many of us do… just a little differently.

Either way, on this week’s Jammin’ with Jamie, it’s a time to vent, a time to explore the darker side of the holidays, a time to confront the loneliness, isolation, and other less-than-jolly feelings some people feel this time of year, and a time for some fun, freaky festivities, with a host of…

Hi, everyone!

There’s a certain “man with the bag” up at the North Pole who, with his wife, elves, and reindeer, is working very hard right now. Plus, Chanukah started!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Fantastic Food Follies (Part 1) (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

Some of us may already be preparing for an upcoming holiday… no, not that one… There’s another one first! Okay, well, depending on where you’re jammin’ with us from, maybe not, so let me let you in on it… in the U.S., we’re coming up on Thanksgiving. Celebrating Thanksgiving usually involves a pretty big meal with many different options of food and drink.

Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, most of us can relate to food!

So let’s jam to a feast of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Marvelous Moon Melodies (2023)”!

Hi, everyone!

We’ve jammed to summer songs, space songs, and sunny songs. And there’s a lot of crossover there, because the sun is a huge part of summer… and it’s in space!

But it shines so brightly––– both literally and figuratively––– that another celestial body is left in the shadows. But it can be just as beautiful as the brightest sunny day. So, let’s turn our attention to what brings us light after the sun sets with a mix of…
