Driftwood. Driftwood! This gigantic beauty washed up on shore from the Columbia River!

Beautiful Music Lover!

I’ve just been to the coast for a wonderful respite with my good friends. Running on the beach before sunrise, sitting by the fire in a cushioned rocking chair, listening to music, impromptu dance parties, watching the ocean roll in, eating delicious food, counting elk, enjoying new and magical adventures … so grand, so very grand! I am so grateful.

I hope you’ve had a similarly wonderful few days since the last show. Last week’s show had some excellent music indeed – Superfan ocjo said it was definitely their favorite line up of music so far. I hope you were able to tune in! Brad, ocjo, Rebecca, and Katie were lighting up the Talk Board, as well as a dedicated but anonymous Oklahoma City fan who was tuned in on their travels to Chicago. And my sister tuned in from the great state of Oklahoma too! I super love when my music lovin’ sis tunes in. She has excellent taste in music.

To listen to those great bands again and again, navigate over to the Spotify playlist link, episode 105.

Jen Em and Mags. Ruckus time!

I can promise you excellent music for next week’s show – in fact, friend, fan, frequent excellent-music-contributor Katie Clark says episode 106 might be her favorite yet! (She gets a sneak listen each week, you see.)

I’ll meet you on the airwaves next Friday, October 25th, at 10 am! Until then… take care of your beautiful self! You are doing a great job of being human! Keep it up. ♥

Beautiful Music Lover!

We’re in the new studio at Zidell Yards and man, it is GREAT! I super love our new home. And the music that has been rolling outta there … well, we’re the most musically diverse station in town for a reason!

Speaking of super cool music, some of the Fresh Spins Super Fans have been asking for the playlist links for past shows, and I think that’s a great idea!

Without further adieu, here’s what has played on Fresh Spins with Jen Em for the last 3 episodes. I know you’ll be tuning in next Friday, and every Friday, to the coolest show on the airwaves – 10 am to Noonish, right here on the one and only, Portland Radio Project!

The playlist that will include episodes 101-107 (after they air) can be found HERE.

Beautiful Music Lover!

Yesterday’s show was sooo chill and so wonderful. I super dug it. And I super enjoyed talking to all the Beautiful Music Lovers on the Talk Board!

Did you know when you say something nice about the show or about PRP, we take a screenshot and add it to our Slack Channel, so everyone at the station can see and be encouraged? We volunteers sure appreciate the compliments, encouragements and appreciation, so THANK YOU!

There was a little confusion, I think, from the last post (which went out in the newsletter, hooray!) If you have music you would like to submit to be played on our station, please go to our website and click on “Submit Your Music” rather than emailing me directly with files. And I promise to keep on playing the best and freshest music for you every week!

Super Fan Brad had a great recommendation – a Fresh Spins with Jen Em t-shirt with “Beautiful Music Lover” on the back! What do you think? I tried to design a mock-up on Zazzle, but it was like – waaay too much time to try to figure out those janky editing tools. If you’re into such things – I’m thinking a baseball tee with 3/4 sleeves sounds pretty dope, grey with blue sleeves? hmmm. What are your thoughts? You can always email me at jen@prp.fm – or let’s have a convo on the Talk Board next week!

Here is the playlist for the Friday, October 11th show – Episode 104.

Here is the (growing) playlist for Episodes 101-107.

Thank you for tuning in – thank you for listening – and I’ll see you next Friday on the airwaves!
