Uneasy Listening Greatest Hits!
it's time to acknowledge the STARMAKING POWER of WPRB and the Uneasy Listening universe of shows!
ok these artists may have already been stars or may be stars only in my heart but they all made songs that hit me (or my listeners) right at that moment. songs we got obsessed with, songs that made us realize we needed more from that artist or genre, songs that rekindled long dormant interests, songs associated with special radio moments of all sorts.
That's the magic of real, human-curated, independent community radio that values being different from what we've come to expect from 99% of radio in the 2020s - with every new song something may totally come out of left field and hit you in that SPOT. It might be nothing like what came immediately before it, but on a station like this you know you have to just keep listening because anything, ANYTHING can be next. WPRB is a special place and we need to do all we can to preserve it in the world. That is why I am a monthly donor! I hope you will consider joining me to support more of this sort f thing with a one-time or recurring tax deductible gift!

It's a special 3 hour bonanza of monster songs for the apex of the Halloween weekend!
I thought this would finally be the Halloween show where I play the novelty monster songs in the "Monster Mash" genre but again, it mostly is not. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT! i love a good "Transylvanian" accent!
If you love this radio station even half as much as I do, please consider a monthly or one-time gift! You can do this any old time at:

Feet
Here it is! The show that got me solicited for feet pix on twitter (sorry but no), the show that has me making way too many "and did those feet in ancient times" jokes. Songs about FEET!
As usual 3-5am themed, 5-6am unthemed
Not usual, it's WPRB's Fall quiet drive! I am so proud to have the privilege to play music for a bunch of random strangers on this weird lil radio station! I love that the spirit of freeform no holds barred broadcast radio lives in Central NJ! I love the way many of you aren't strangers anymore, not really, and the fact that you all do me the great compliment of tuning in to hear what I have to play. I am a listener too and I don't know what I would do without this station.
If you're already supporting WPRB as we stand on the verge of another new and exciting set of challenges and opportunities, THANK YOU.
If you'd like to start, and have the means: pledge.wprb.com

Opposites
Songs about opposites 8-10 and songs about everything, EVERYTHING 10-11!
I'm doing a Very Special Episode in early November of songs I've played on my shows that have particularly struck me, gotten me into a band, gotten me more into a band etc. I would love to have some examples from listeners so if you've got any songs or artists you learned about or rediscovered though uneasy listening or any of my shows, please let me know in the chat or email cf@uneasylistening.org !

Mass Trespass
Hi it's me Commie Francis here with more lefty music as I try my best to fill the shoes of the legendary John Weingart! As usual I'm going with what I know, lefty folk music about land access and ownership, the common treasury, the commons, collectivist movements of 17th century Britain ET CETERA. With some overlap into punk but NOT FOLK-PUNK.
If you're digging (ha) this I'm also on Saturday nights! Where I'm usually much stricter about my themes. You can listen to old episodes on Mixcloud and find links to all my stuff (plus very slowly updated playlists and show links!) on my website.

Loneliness!
Dear goodness this was a HUGE topic, I had to split it into regular loneliness, songs about being alone, and songs about missing people! And it's still three hours long! Enjoy this super-themed episode!
