Had my playlist backwards! This is Jal by Talvin Singh

Hi. New to your program. What is your genre?

Hey Richard! I play music that highlights South Asian talent on my show, so it's a multi-genre show with sounds from South Asia

Hey there!

TAndy! How are you!

Tired! No caffeine at the moment :')

I had the worst caffeine headache this morning but I just grabbed a Joe Tea instead

This is really good!

Thai shoegaze!

what flavor joe tea!?

morning tandy morning aneek!

Hi Michael! I got the half and half

I like the peach one the most though

Morning everyone

Morning Rob!!

yeee i worked at a butcher shop in jersey and we always had all the flavors, peach/ras enjoyer but all of them are great!

morning rob

I like the fresher flavors, blue raspberry is too sweet even for me

I'm enjoying the show today from Witch City, MA. Halloween Mardi Gras 🎃

Morning Aneek! My wife now has the latest step in her Bear notes

Hey Ears! Happy Halloween ☠️

Hello Mrs. from Maryland, happy Khichdi

Mrs. from Maryland waves

Ears, I was about to type in Witch City into Google Maps when I realized its real name. Clearly I need more caffeine?

waves back

You can never have enough caffeine

Hi michael and TAndy

I used to be like you, back in my 20s. 😇 But not any more (for better or for worse)

☕ 🫖

I don't drink enough water i think

I'm naturally energetic. The time that I completely gave up caffeine, one of my coworkers couldn't tell because my energy level was still pretty high

Water is very important, especially if you are birding or butterflying during the summer

I do want to get into butterflying -- any recs?

Start with unsalted butter.

sure, i think salted butter might scare the butterflies away

wait are you talking about the recipe 😭

MId-day is best, they don't really start flying until around 9 am. Go someplace with lots of flowers. Approach them s l o w l y, try not to let your shadow fall on them. Take (phone) photos if you can, then run them through the Seek app (which I've seen folks use even though we don't) and or upload them to iNaturalist. Or flip through a book field guide

I have Seek! You should get it, I love using it on plants

Or just enjoy them for their intrinsic beauty

Seek is great with plants! I have a flip phone though so I have to rely on, um, books (and websites)

There are many days that I think I should throw my phone into a river and switch to a flip phone

Thanks for the show btw! Out and about today

See you next week TAndy!

Mr. Burns gif

Bye TAndy!

excellent...

Things are simpler with a flip phone

I keep scrolling instagram reels instead of doing work

oh dear

The sources for some of the songs this show

songs a heater

State of Bengal! There's more info about them in the link, they are amazing

Thanks DJ Aneek! We have enjoyed what we heard of your awesome show, and getting step 7. Until the next time!

Thank you!

I do not understand WPRB constantly saying that WPRB is the only radio station in NJ. How about WBGO in Newark and WFUV?

@Richard, it's a long-running joke

Plus you forgot WFMU 😇😇

I was talking about the butterflies 🦋
