Once, I made bracelets with song lyrics on them because I couldn’t decide which song to get tattooed on my wrist.
Rock n’ Roll Wonderland friend, this is why I have a radio show. There are so many great songs that I would tattoo on my body. But if I did this, I would have an entire music catalog inked on my back!
So I created a radio show instead.
Electric Radio Club was created for music discovery while blending my weekly soliloquies of philosophizing song lyrics and figuring out this thing called life. (Thanks Prince)
Last month, I created a visual “Music Vibe Guide” to help you pick a radio episode.
I received such wonderful feedback that I’ve decided to do it again.
The radio episodes are for those who are craving something new and need a little reminder to keep going. Whether that be writing a book, starting a business or a room renovation, one can often feel stuck and question why they begin a project in the first place.
In this post, I have three radio episodes that provide a pep-talk within a mixtape.
Time to choose your own music adventure!

"Paint the Greys in between" - Ben Folds
In this episode, I'm talking about creating your own kind of magic like Willy Wonka, a poem line from Mary Oliver and an interview with musician Ben Folds on writing his iconic album Whatever and Ever Amen.
Track list includes songs by Baxter Dury, The Smiths, Sleater-Kinney w/ Margo Price, The Budos Bands, Magic Shoppe, George McCrae, Blondshell and more!
In this episode, I’m talking about setting the scene….for your life.
I got inspired by the film My Brilliant Career, Sex and the City, an EFT tapping video by Gala Darling and a movie question from 11am Saturday.
Stand out song lyric from this episode “Plenty of old tapes play inside my head.”
Song list includes artists, The Beaches, The Chameleons, Missing Persons, J Mascis, Deep Sea Diver, a song I discovered from On Repeat by Kevin Alexander.
If you were a superhero, which superpower would you want to have? Whatever your superpower may be, hell, even Wonder Woman can’t do it all.
In this episode, I’m talk about repurposing your work, taking care of yourself like you would your house plant, an interview I did awhile back with Social Media Escape Club’s Seth Werkheiser and giving your power a pause.
Permission to relax yet stay motivated with the upbeat stellar song selection featuring tracks by Beck, Georgia, Stevie Nicks, Parquet Courts, Lilly Hiatt, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more!
Wine, Wu-Tang and working on Willie Nelson’s ranch!
I recorded this month’s episode at a wine bar….so I’m referring to my music series this month as Cabernet and Cassettes. Because this series is not limited to conversations with women who are only music writers or musicians,….its for music nerds no matter what industry they are in.
Music in a bar, coffee shop or restaurant is SO important! If the music is bad, I don’t go back. Music sets the vibe of a place.
So I am thrilled to have on the show, wine shop owner, Ivy of idle wine & goods. We talk about how wine snobs are not that much different than music snobs, the album that never left her CD player and working on Willie Nelson’s ranch. Check it out!
Reminder: Women music nerds of The Radio Room, don’t forget to sign up for notifications about Radio Apero, an online women’s music club. Future meetups coming soon!
Now which episode do you find the most intriguing? Tell me about the new songs you discover!
All for now.
Stay inspired!
