Hope you are well.
Captain Ahab (host) 6:20:01 PM
Hey Mike! I just remembered you wrote me and I never replied, apologies! I went into early labor the next day lol so have been a bit distracted
Mike Tropiano 6:21:46 PM
Yo, there is no apology necessary.
Mike Tropiano 6:22:08 PM
I was just happy for you.
Mike Tropiano 6:22:23 PM
And I needed to express it.
Mike Tropiano 6:22:56 PM
And I can't effing get onto that godforsaken chat up there.
Captain Ahab (host) 6:24:00 PM
It sucks! Why the hell is that chat broken when it's all spinitron anyway, irritating
Mike Tropiano 6:25:43 PM
I think it might have something to do with my internet provider (xfinity). I can't get on through my phone either (I was usually at home when you were on)
Mike Tropiano 6:26:40 PM
The one hour went by so fast (but you did a great job of packing it with your usual more than palatable fare).
Mike Tropiano 6:26:55 PM
Not usual, constant.
Teresa Peacock 6:28:33 PM
Ciao Dottore! TANTISSIMI AUGURI a te ed al tuo marito e anche al nuovo piccolo Ahab!!! I am so thrilled for you 3!
Captain Ahab (host) 6:33:22 PM

Teresa Peacock 6:52:29 PM
Si, e mi ricordo bene quella stanchezza tanto particolare! But I also remember that sudden development of never-before-needed-or-ever-imagined superpowers you develop as a new mom; like hosting a rippingly fabulous radio show one-handed and while attending to a newborn! It's a whole new realm of multitasking!
Captain Ahab (host) 6:53:50 PM
Ahahah thank you very much!
Teresa Peacock 6:56:25 PM
Unfortunately, I was driving when you gave the station id and time slot of your CT show. I'd love to add you/it to my weekly listening schedule!
Lucy Catemoji 6:59:46 PM
wprbaby !
Mike Tropiano 7:00:40 PM
Mama Ahab. That's the best of your three radio aliases.
TAndy 7:04:49 PM
Sup Doc
Captain Ahab (host) 7:05:03 PM
Teresa: that's very kind of you! I'm on alternating Fridays 5:30-6:30pm at 88.1 WESU http://wesufm.org
Mike Tropiano 7:05:06 PM
Is Mama Ahab gonna archive the show (at some point, you have much more importantant repsonsibiltites now). I didn't know you were back on WESU.
Captain Ahab (host) 7:05:15 PM
Not this friday but the next
Captain Ahab (host) 7:05:54 PM
Mike I've got all my shows recorded with plans to update the mixcloud eventually lol, I paused in Jan when I started at Wesleyan
Captain Ahab (host) 7:06:26 PM
*paused uploading I mean
Teresa Peacock 7:08:29 PM
Thank you!!! <3 I'm really digging the effects pedal on the guitar in the Red Sun Lord song!
Mike Tropiano 7:08:47 PM
That's what I thought. I heard all of your Summer shows (some delayed. I cna't shat right now but WESU has replay for two weeks). I missed the Fall shows. Didn't know you were back. You're a trooper.
Mike Tropiano 7:09:06 PM
That's not a veiled request.
Captain Ahab (host) 7:09:35 PM
Thanks Mike! Another DJ filled in a few weeks, and last week and next week I'll be prerecorded, but hoping to get back to the studio in October
Mike Tropiano 7:10:43 PM
Cool. At some point I hope I can get my end of the chat working. I love the community that centers on your show.
Captain Ahab (host) 7:13:40 PM
Matt this song goes out to you lol
