For my entire life pretty much I pronounced the word "reprise" like this: re-prize. The first time I heard it pronounced the proper way - which is ruh-preez - was in a live performance of Marc Bolan on a T Rex boxed set when he was promoting his new record, "Out on Warner-Reprise Records."
I just check & the Merriam-Webster dictionary online says both pronunciations are allowed, but probably because of people like me who mispronounced them their entire lives.
That's neither here nor there - I'm just writing to confirm (as much as I can confirm) that Self Help Radio will be on WRFL this Thursday & next (May 1 & 8) from 10am to noon, & then, the next week will begin its summer home on the station from 7 to 9am on Fridays. It's pretty exciting. Of course, once I go on the air, everyone leaves town for the summer. Rats!
Also: since I have an extra hour (6-7am), I've asked not to resurrect my freeform show Sugar Substitute (which I will do again one day!) but instead I told them I'd like to do a country blues show, which I am calling Woke Up One Early Morning Blues, because why not make a radio show title long & unwieldy? It'll let me play my favorite country blues all summer long.
So, hooray! Listen to me this Thursday & next, & then, on Friday the 16th, start listening at that time all summer long!

Hi Gary, much as I like and use the podcast format, there's still a lot to be said for the immediacy of live radio - so welcome back, WRFL! Best wishes from the UK's Black Country, Andrew of Smethwick.
Thank you, Andrew!
