Thanks to @mflorezg and my @purpose_brand friends, @NealMcKnight. All those listening for the low Tuesday voice, send @CHIRPRadio a few bucks.

Great storytelling builds community. When PB writer/editor Stephen Rynkiewicz isn’t crafting client narratives, he's amplifying Chicago’s independent arts scene as a volunteer DJ for @CHIRPRadio. Independent media is worth our support! 📻🎙️ https://t.co/X6DZiL9FAv #ChicagoArts

I'm happy to hear from people listening to @CHIRPRadio. It's a volunteer alternative to commercial radio and streaming services with an emphasis on Chicago music, arts and culture. I'm the deepest of the 6am voices. Please support a nonprofit I care about.

This is a fascinating fiction, but name-dropping historic events. Just as law enforcement now has to worry about hackproof phones, so military intelligence soon will face unbreakable encryption. https://t.co/FPn0UkLC7a

Much to my surprise, Goodreads considers me among its top 10% book reviewers. Mostly I'm writing for myself. Do the reviews help you discover anything new? https://t.co/LtWRMrEPMJ

Tuesday is my last DJ shift for 2025 at ⁦@CHIRPRadio⁩. All month I've been playing my favorite indie releases of the year. What are yours? https://t.co/m6aNYFm4x2

Reading "Frank Zappa's America"
by Bradley Morgan of ⁦@CHIRPRadio⁩ is sending me back to the epic Zappa characters Studebaker Hawk and Billy the Mountain, which in my mind look like this.

Lots of scary Halloween fun this week on @CHIRPRadio, including my tarot reading. I drew the two of swords from Chicago’s Oux band. https://t.co/biJY6JGwNc

Labor Day weekend wraps up a summer of free live music in Chicago. Listen to @chirpradio.org to survey the scene.

Swifties in the office are all atwitter. Drawing on my @CHIRPRadio listening, I tailored a safe-for-work playlist. https://t.co/Y1OJF9QtQ3

[Stephen Rynkiewicz 🦄 @rynk]

Getting next week’s @CHIRPRadio playlist together. This will be fun!

Before work this morning, I was fund-drive pitching for @CHIRPRadio, Chicago’s listener-supported independent music station. Today is $10 Day, and I’d love it if you could donate $10 to keep the station going strong. https://t.co/mcKqGNGr91
