So I’m taking a break and did my last (for now) Late Risers’ Club. It’s been a blast and I hate to go, but I’ve got some pressing non-radio stuff to deal with. If I can come back, I will. For now, I’m going to leave it at that.

I would be remiss, however, if I didn’t post a quick note of thanks to Joanie Lindstrom for taking over the production headaches, not to mention all the smart, talented, and passionate deejays that I’ve been lucky to work with, count among my friends, and have made this program’s continued existence possible: Joanie (of course), Generoso Fierro, Chris Hardgrove, Jonathan Gladstone, Peter Choyce, Kevin Hoskins, Ross Scott, Roy (never even got your last name…), David Etlin, Ben Kochan, Chris Bobko, Jess Liao, Jordan Wirfs-Brock, Andrea Tentner, Ken Avery, Bryan Cord, Chris MacDonald, spiritual leader Blowfish and ace fill-ins like Sue Safton, Nancy Masley, Tim Reardon, Jeff Breeze, John Funke, Joan Hathaway, and Jesse Kaminsky — I’m probably forgetting a few people here, but I owe them all my undying gratitude. The same goes for the listeners who call in every week; none of us are getting paid to do this, and your support — not just in terms of financial donations to the station — really helps make it all worthwhile.

I should also quickly mention that I am psyched to be leaving the Friday slot in the able hands of Ben Shanks. Ben rocks. Joanie and I have been trying to kidnap this guy for a few years now; finally, thanks to his MIT class schedule, we got him.

So thanks, take care, and keep tuning in.
