(I found this image here.)
One might suppose I always have a fun reason for the themes I pick. One would be mistaken.
Sometimes I can't remember why I thought of a particular topic to explore. How do themes get chosen to be on WRFL? I can think of perhaps four scenarios:
1) It is suggested to me by a listener.
2) It somehow relates to an anniversary, holiday, or current event.
3) It is stumbled onto by repetition, or serendipity, or chance. Usually this means I just keep hearing the theme in song after song.
4) There is no real explanation.
Today I have to say it's number four. At some point in the past, I created a folder in the SHR area of my computer, & that folder said, "Wheels." (It might have said "Wheelz" because I am a dork.) I discovered it sometime later, & began to think of songs that might fit into that folder. Once the folder was full enough to make a radio show, I put it on the queue. In the queue. Whatever.
& that's why today's show is about wheels. I really don't know what the inspiration was & that's about as much as I can say. Wheels. Wheel. Whee!
The show is on from 4 to 6 pm today on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington & online at wrfl dot fm online. I'll archive it tomorrow.
Maybe you'll listen?
