Hi, everyone!
This week, we’re going to we’re going to take a look at a very specific type of song that pops up a lot on both screen and stage. And that is… the huge group number! And not just any group number: the one where the whole cast comes together to sing and, oftentimes, dance.
And because this is Jammin’ with Jamie, we have ensemble numbers that even reference the fact that they’re ensemble numbers!
Try not to get lost in the crowd as we jam to a mob of…

… “Crowd Choruses”!
This week, we’ll be raising our voices with a cast of… however many singers are featured in this overcrowded jam session! Just try not to get lost in the crowd!
The tunes we’ll be jammin’ to this week come courtesy of artists such as Rachel Bloom, The Muppets, Nikki Blonsky, and more! Certain selections come from films such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), Pocahontas (1995), and Beauty and the Beast (1991), and TV shows such as Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Galavant! Check out the categories and tags below for more!
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’,”

Hi, everyone!
This Jammin’ with Jamie jam session is going to be more… experimental… as we mix and match and blow up a volatile series of…
Hi, everyone!
Now that we’ve raised our spirits, it’s time to trick-or-treat! In the coming weeks, we’ll still be jammin’ to other spooky themes to celebrate the season, but for now, it’s time to jam to a heap of…
Hi, everyone!
This week is a landmark Jammin’ with Jamie!
OMG (Oh My Goulash)!
Yes! We’ll be giving away two tickets to Rachel Bloom’s concert on September 21 at the Chicago Theatre, as part of her “What Am I Going to Do with My Life Now?” tour!
Yes, I’m serious, and don’t call me… oh wait, you didn’t.
By total and complete coincidence, our theme coincides perfectly with Rachel Bloom’s concert tour’s title! (I’m not even kidding: I’ve had this theme planned for a while.)
Art imitates life, imitates art, snake eats tail, equals MC squared, singularity… My brain hurts…
No question about it, we’re going to be jammin’ to…

Hi, everyone!
We’re back and with another holiday celebration!

Hi, everyone!
You know I like to play songs that are timely… and this week, I’m doing it literally! So synchronize your watches, because it’s time for…
Hi, everyone!
Remember those New Year’s Resolutions you made? Or maybe the ones you made last year? Yeah, whatever happened to those?
Maybe you’re still chipping away at yours, in which case, congratulations! Or maybe you’ve fallen away from working towards your goal.
You longtime loyal Jammin’ with Jamie Jammers know this well, but for those of you who are new, here’s a little something about me: I’m pretty big on motivating you all to go for your dreams and do your best. And I work as hard and as often as I can to do the same in my own life.
But I know as well as anyone that it can be very difficult to get and stay motivated and to have confidence in yourself, your abilities, and that your efforts can and will pay off in some way. Sure, you can give yourself pep talks all you want, but you can start to wonder if you’re just being delusional.
But don’t despair! It’s all about taking one step at a time. And it’s much easier to take those steps if you’re feeling good. So, whether you’re trying to trick yourself into taking a chance or just wanting to laugh a little more as you confidently stride onward and upward, join us as we jam to a mix of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s time for one of Jammin’ with Jamie’s grand and beloved traditions! … Beloved by me, anyway.
A certain divisive holiday is lurking just around the corner… Valentine’s Day. But whether you love it with all your heart or loathe it with every fiber of your being, you’ll love this week’s Jammin’ with Jamie, which is bursting with…
Hi, everyone!
Put on your costumes, don your masks, and grab your trick-or-treat bags, because it’s time to head out with a pillowcase full of full-size…
