	6:12pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:06 Erin so many shows, not enough hours in the day
	6:12pm Magenta: I’m very thankful for WFMU and this community. Way better than Spotify and (most of) Reddit.
	6:12pm TDK60: There was a tangent on flutes the other day.
	6:12pm Erin in TO: I'm honestly continuously amazed at how consistently great the comments board is
	6:13pm Erin in TO: ↳ Robm @6:12 Tell me about it Robm! And don't even start me on not having time to check out the alternate streams
	6:13pm Listener Robert: Did "consumerism" change its meaning while my mind blinked? It used to mean sympathy for consumers so they wouldn't get ripped off. Now...?
	6:14pm Magenta: @Erin: after the marathon I’m going to have enough in my saved shows to last me until April!
	🤖 6:14pm Handy Haversack: If three people all call at the same time right now, one of you might get to talk to SM Ken! Load up those lines!
	6:14pm ultradamno: ...and populism used to mean politics determined by popular opinion.
	6:14pm TDK60: Matt is thee blues presenter.
	6:14pm Robm: ↳ Magenta @6:12 I agree with that about reddit
	6:15pm Erin in TO: ↳ Magenta @6:14 I'm devastated that Wednesday and Thursday I have to go into the office so I'm going to miss some of my fave shows live for marathon :((
	6:15pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:13 Yeah the internet streams are a hidden treasure
	6:15pm ultradamno: I was really hoping for an AI generated version of this show for the premium
	6:16pm Magenta: Oh that premium cover is amazing! I almost thought it was John Mulaney and Michael Stipe.
	6:16pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:15 That four letter word work
	6:16pm TDK60: Oh, it's the "Bookends" LP cover over there. Shoulda read the words.
	6:17pm Fredericks: ↳ Listener Robert @6:13 I not familiar with consumerism's older meaning. However, I do recall Ralph Nader talking about the people of the U.S. no longer being thought of/and treated as citizens but as consumers.
	6:18pm Dano59: ↳ Robm @6:16 the curse of the drinking class, too.
	6:19pm Robm: ↳ Dano59 @6:18 :) that too
	6:20pm Dano59: Birdsongs, not Bitc@in
	6:20pm ultradamno: I hear Bling stole Goggle algorithm
	6:20pm Erin in TO: ↳ Robm @6:16 it's the worst, Robm
	🤖 6:21pm Handy Haversack: Here comes Erin in TO!
	6:21pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Dave Gahan mentioned that he's a fan of Trouble's show during his interview last week on efd's show.
	6:21pm Robm: YAY ERIN
	6:21pm Dano59: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @6:08 I'm gonna do my best to parcel pledges to all my favorites this maratone.
	🤖 6:22pm MarciB: I may have to contribute to next week's show too!
	6:22pm Erin in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:21 Gotta make sure WFMU and Mark keep being here to listen to!
	6:25pm Andrew Waterloo: I think kids are presented with more experience than they can process
	6:25pm Listener Robert: ↳ Fredericks @6:17 I just looked up the Wikipedia entry for "consumerism", and it does go into the history of the term, and the earliest they give is the one I was familiar with, "efforts to support consumers' interests". Now I feel sooo ooollllddd. Also so old by hearing these people's "gateway" WFMU hosts, who are like the new guys from my perspective! For me it was either Pat Duncan or Frank O'Toole in late 1980,
	🤖 6:26pm Handy Haversack: herb.nyc! Andrew Waterloo!
	6:26pm Erin in TO: Canada representing!
	6:27pm Erin in TO: OMG come do lectures here Mark, that would be awesome
	6:27pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:26 And damn proud of you all
	🤖 6:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @6:26 You'll appreciate: I run my VPN through Toronto because the internet treats me much better when I do so.
	6:28pm Erin in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:27 Handy, it's just the internet equivalent of americans putting a maple leaf pin on their backpack when travelling
	6:28pm Robm: @Trouble that will never happen with the money with elections
	🤖 6:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Erin in TO @6:28 We just want the world to think better of us.
	6:28pm ultradamno: It's why you have politicians who want to protect children from imaginary drag shows but not guns....whose lobbying them.
	6:29pm Erin in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:28 It's ok Handy, at the very least, any Canadian who listens to WFMU knows you're not all bad
	🤖 6:29pm Handy Haversack: Flurry us! 800-989-9368!
	6:29pm morphe': 800-989-9368
	6:29pm Nick K: Why does race come into play with it
	6:30pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:29 Erin i listen to CKUA from alberta and they are pretty damn good
	6:31pm Listener Robert: Gah, Trouble! YES IT IS Lowest Common Denominator! LCD was the WFMU newsletter. ;-)
	6:31pm Erin in TO: ↳ Robm @6:30 I don't know them! CBC was all I've really listened to outside commercial radio, and I don't even do that since I found WFMU
	🤖 6:31pm Handy Haversack: Work done joyfully is also called "play," which is the thing we need the most. Pledge for play!
	6:31pm Erin in TO: And I cannot stand to listen to commercial radio for 10 minutes anymore
	6:33pm Magenta: The worst thing I’ve ever seen on a playlist comment page was 1) someone siding with Russia in the war in Ukraine around the time that started and 2) a troll using the n-word during a late night weekend show. It’s so civil here!
	6:33pm Ike: Canada does have certain major issues, such as intense domination of telecommunications by just a few giant cell/internet companies that overprice everything, so maybe Canadians who are sick of being ripped off by Bell CA, Rogers etc. are all too aware of what unregulated corporate behavior can wreak.
	6:33pm Ciggy: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @6:21 I've been a WFMU listener since 1999 but I've never listened to one show of This is the Modern World with Trouble. But when I heard Dave Gahan say he's a fan of Trouble in his interview with EFD last week, I'm gonna have to listen to her show & archives
	6:33pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:31 It’s a freeform station
	6:34pm Erin in TO: ↳ Ike @6:33 Canada has a lot of issues, telecomms aren't even the worst of it
	🤖 6:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ciggy @6:33 Ciggy, Trouble's show is excellent. Deeply freeform.
	6:35pm TDK60: ↳ Robm @6:33 A free-from station too!
	6:35pm ultradamno: I thought the future was implants...will those still have apps?
	6:36pm Robm: ↳ Magenta @6:33 We try to be civil and yeah i heard what happened on that show @Ciggy you are in for a treat with trouble
	6:37pm Ike: ↳ Erin in TO @6:34 True, I also ran into some anti-immigration sentiment on a road trip to Nova Scotia several months ago… “too many foreigners in Toronto”, “those Indian drivers are terrible” and that kind of thing. Some Americans see CA as some kind of paradise (grass is always greener…) but this shit exists everywhere unfortunately.
	6:38pm SeanG: npr is garbage
	6:38pm Erin in TO: ↳ Ike @6:37 @Ike I'm from NS, and it is very white there, as a general rule. It tends to be a conservative place, unfortunately. it's changing, but it's slow
	6:40pm Robm: ↳ SeanG @6:38 I agree would rather listen to the BBC or any non cable news
	6:40pm Erin in TO: ↳ Erin in TO @6:38 Also a lot of anti-Ontario sentiment as we tend to get screwed by Ontario, historically. Though our own local politicians also have a long history of selling us out. They're half the problem. Easier to blame ON though
	6:40pm ultradamno: Well...I think there is a rant corner segment...usually towards the end. We call it the Howard Beale moment.
	6:43pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Mark and Trouble and pledgers!
	🤖 6:44pm Handy Haversack: Chris! I'm sitting between morphe' and Trouble and across the glass from Mark Hurst! It's a Techtonic miracle!
	6:44pm Marley P. Dogg: Pledged from the dog park! Keep WFMU going everyone!
	🤖 6:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cars of the future might drive themselves to the repo center if you fall behind on your payments. WFMU would never do that, right?
	🤖 6:45pm Handy Haversack: Saw your note, Marley!
	6:45pm Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:45 👍
	6:46pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 awesome! say hey to morphe' for me, please!
	6:46pm ultradamno: Hasan Minhaj did a long thing about quitting twitter on The Daily Show last week...all well and good, though I thought it was odd that one thing he bemoaned was that no one ever had their mind changed as a result of the platform...I thought that was the problem, how many people are radicalized...literally having their mind changed by being led down a rabbit hole.
	6:47pm LCBD: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 Hey Handy and morphe'! Fun to think of you there! This is such a great show!
	6:47pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 oh! how cool is that? please give my regards to both trouble and morphe' !!!
	🤖 6:47pm Dance the Blues: Preach Trouble
	🤖 6:47pm PaulRobeson1923: Boooo Sameness boooo
	🤖 6:48pm PaulRobeson1923: Hi Hi
	🤖 6:48pm Deano de los Muertos: my monthly donation is always due, in part, to your efforts Mark and Trouble! Thanks
	6:48pm Fredericks: ↳ Listener Robert @6:25 Your definition makes more sense grammatically. "Consumerist" is probably a better choice of words. A consumerist society engaged in consumeristic behaviors.
	6:49pm TDK60: Accurate opinions, here.
	6:50pm morphe': ↳ chris in the redwoods @6:46 Hello Chris ... sitting here in the FMU Factory with HH answering phones ... K8 Playing Wonderville Bklyn in May???? see you there????
	6:51pm yippie: now on I intend to say "giggle" instead of "google"
	6:52pm Bucci: ❤️ that cover of Mark’s premium!
	🤖 6:53pm chresti: ↳ TDK60 @6:49 Spot on TDK60 \\//
	6:53pm Fredericks: ↳ ultradamno @6:28 Caught Jon Stewart?
	6:53pm Listener #8: My kid gets smart with this Baby Einstein I found at a garage sale in Paramus.
	6:53pm Ike: DuckDuckGo it or Startpage it rather than goggling it…
	6:53pm Carmichael: ↳ ultradamno @6:46 Minhaj is a hometown boy, kinda sorta ...
	6:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Fredericks @6:53 Yep
	6:53pm Greg from ZONE 5: Those Hal Blaine drum parts are super weird!
	6:54pm Mark Hurst: Hey everyone, thanks for your generosity this evening! Really appreciate your support.
	6:54pm TDK60: ↳ chresti @6:53 hola chresti \\//
	6:54pm Zydeco Phil: Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh the only honest man!!!
	🤖 6:54pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... WOW!!
	6:54pm Erin in TO: ↳ Mark Hurst @6:54 Thanks for all the work you do for us Mark, you rock
	6:54pm Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... This should be the outro every week!’n
	6:54pm Mark Hurst: @Greg from Zone 5 - thanks for that brilliant cover photo!
	6:54pm Zydeco Phil: Chris rock had a good joke about Elon musk the other day
	6:54pm LCBD: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... Bravo! This is excellent!! Such a good show! You and Trouble are great together!
	6:54pm Mike Sin: Everything that Mark has reported regarding Spotify is definitely true, but Spotify took advantage of the sad trend of the music's devaluation. Spotify saw the writing on the wall -- folks started to prefer stealing/borrowing/copying music instead of actually buying it outright. Spotify has made billions by giving folks the illusion that they've chosen the "no guilt" option. Anyway, Mark's show is one of the most important on WFMU's schedule. This show in particular was quite amazing: www.wfmu.org...
	6:54pm Annette: Thank you mark ‼️❣️❣️❣️
	6:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ morphe' @6:50 i will be at the opposite side of the non-contiguous US in May. won't be back out to NYC until July-ish. hope to meet up then, tho!
	6:55pm Robm: ↳ Zydeco Phil @6:54 Elon musk is a very sad joke
	6:55pm Bucci: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... 🙌🙌
	6:56pm Trouble: if you ove what mark has to say each week please donate now wfmu.org/pledge
	6:56pm ultradamno: This sounds cool...though I went with SAB, Burn It Down and Blumin for my premiums (after painfully cutting Morricone Island and Arb....a lot of good stuff to choose from)
	6:56pm Andrew Waterloo: @Mike Sin. truly ... I've heard a lot of people say that streaming is better than piracy.
	6:56pm Zydeco Phil: @mark sin thanks for that link
	6:57pm Carmichael: Who said turtlenecks were out??
	🤖 6:57pm Bas NL: I need that Premium!
	🤖 6:57pm Handy Haversack: So glad to have spent this hour with Mark and Trouble and all the creative humans! Thanks for pledging, Techyons!
	🤖 6:57pm chresti: Are Si-mark and Scottfunkel going to perform at the Marathon Finale?
	6:59pm Dano59: words to live by, every day

	6:33pm Ciggy: ↳ Hopey Sockmonkey @6:21 I've been a WFMU listener since 1999 but I've never listened to one show of This is the Modern World with Trouble. But when I heard Dave Gahan say he's a fan of Trouble in his interview with EFD last week, I'm gonna have to listen to her show & archives
	6:33pm Robm: ↳ Erin in TO @6:31 It’s a freeform station
	6:34pm Erin in TO: ↳ Ike @6:33 Canada has a lot of issues, telecomms aren't even the worst of it
	🤖 6:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ciggy @6:33 Ciggy, Trouble's show is excellent. Deeply freeform.
	6:35pm TDK60: ↳ Robm @6:33 A free-from station too!
	6:35pm ultradamno: I thought the future was implants...will those still have apps?
	6:36pm Robm: ↳ Magenta @6:33 We try to be civil and yeah i heard what happened on that show @Ciggy you are in for a treat with trouble
	6:37pm Ike: ↳ Erin in TO @6:34 True, I also ran into some anti-immigration sentiment on a road trip to Nova Scotia several months ago… “too many foreigners in Toronto”, “those Indian drivers are terrible” and that kind of thing. Some Americans see CA as some kind of paradise (grass is always greener…) but this shit exists everywhere unfortunately.
	6:38pm SeanG: npr is garbage
	6:38pm Erin in TO: ↳ Ike @6:37 @Ike I'm from NS, and it is very white there, as a general rule. It tends to be a conservative place, unfortunately. it's changing, but it's slow
	6:40pm Robm: ↳ SeanG @6:38 I agree would rather listen to the BBC or any non cable news
	6:40pm Erin in TO: ↳ Erin in TO @6:38 Also a lot of anti-Ontario sentiment as we tend to get screwed by Ontario, historically. Though our own local politicians also have a long history of selling us out. They're half the problem. Easier to blame ON though
	6:40pm ultradamno: Well...I think there is a rant corner segment...usually towards the end. We call it the Howard Beale moment.
	6:43pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Mark and Trouble and pledgers!
	🤖 6:44pm Handy Haversack: Chris! I'm sitting between morphe' and Trouble and across the glass from Mark Hurst! It's a Techtonic miracle!
	6:44pm Marley P. Dogg: Pledged from the dog park! Keep WFMU going everyone!
	🤖 6:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cars of the future might drive themselves to the repo center if you fall behind on your payments. WFMU would never do that, right?
	🤖 6:45pm Handy Haversack: Saw your note, Marley!
	6:45pm Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:45 👍
	6:46pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 awesome! say hey to morphe' for me, please!
	6:46pm ultradamno: Hasan Minhaj did a long thing about quitting twitter on The Daily Show last week...all well and good, though I thought it was odd that one thing he bemoaned was that no one ever had their mind changed as a result of the platform...I thought that was the problem, how many people are radicalized...literally having their mind changed by being led down a rabbit hole.
	6:47pm LCBD: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 Hey Handy and morphe'! Fun to think of you there! This is such a great show!
	6:47pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:44 oh! how cool is that? please give my regards to both trouble and morphe' !!!
	🤖 6:47pm Dance the Blues: Preach Trouble
	🤖 6:47pm PaulRobeson1923: Boooo Sameness boooo
	🤖 6:48pm PaulRobeson1923: Hi Hi
	🤖 6:48pm Deano de los Muertos: my monthly donation is always due, in part, to your efforts Mark and Trouble! Thanks
	6:48pm Fredericks: ↳ Listener Robert @6:25 Your definition makes more sense grammatically. "Consumerist" is probably a better choice of words. A consumerist society engaged in consumeristic behaviors.
	6:49pm TDK60: Accurate opinions, here.
	6:50pm morphe': ↳ chris in the redwoods @6:46 Hello Chris ... sitting here in the FMU Factory with HH answering phones ... K8 Playing Wonderville Bklyn in May???? see you there????
	6:51pm yippie: now on I intend to say "giggle" instead of "google"

	🤖 6:53pm chresti: ↳ TDK60 @6:49 Spot on TDK60 \\//
	6:53pm Fredericks: ↳ ultradamno @6:28 Caught Jon Stewart?
	6:53pm Listener #8: My kid gets smart with this Baby Einstein I found at a garage sale in Paramus.
	6:53pm Ike: DuckDuckGo it or Startpage it rather than goggling it…
	6:53pm Carmichael: ↳ ultradamno @6:46 Minhaj is a hometown boy, kinda sorta ...
	6:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Fredericks @6:53 Yep
	6:53pm Greg from ZONE 5: Those Hal Blaine drum parts are super weird!
	6:54pm Mark Hurst: Hey everyone, thanks for your generosity this evening! Really appreciate your support.
	6:54pm TDK60: ↳ chresti @6:53 hola chresti \\//
	6:54pm Zydeco Phil: Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh the only honest man!!!
	🤖 6:54pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... WOW!!

	6:54pm Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... This should be the outro every week!’n
	6:54pm Mark Hurst: @Greg from Zone 5 - thanks for that brilliant cover photo!
	6:54pm Zydeco Phil: Chris rock had a good joke about Elon musk the other day
	6:54pm LCBD: ↳ Song: "The Only Honest Man in Big Tech" by "Si-mark & Sc... Bravo! This is excellent!! Such a good show! You and Trouble are great together!
	6:54pm Mike Sin: Everything that Mark has reported regarding Spotify is definitely true, but Spotify took advantage of the sad trend of the music's devaluation. Spotify saw the writing on the wall -- folks started to prefer stealing/borrowing/copying music instead of actually buying it outright. Spotify has made billions by giving folks the illusion that they've chosen the "no guilt" option. Anyway, Mark's show is one of the most important on WFMU's schedule. This show in particular was quite amazing: www.wfmu.org...
	6:54pm Annette: Thank you mark ‼️❣️❣️❣️
	6:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ morphe' @6:50 i will be at the opposite side of the non-contiguous US in May. won't be back out to NYC until July-ish. hope to meet up then, tho!
	6:55pm Robm: ↳ Zydeco Phil @6:54 Elon musk is a very sad joke

	6:56pm Trouble: if you ove what mark has to say each week please donate now wfmu.org/pledge
	6:56pm ultradamno: This sounds cool...though I went with SAB, Burn It Down and Blumin for my premiums (after painfully cutting Morricone Island and Arb....a lot of good stuff to choose from)
	6:56pm Andrew Waterloo: @Mike Sin. truly ... I've heard a lot of people say that streaming is better than piracy.
	6:56pm Zydeco Phil: @mark sin thanks for that link
	6:57pm Carmichael: Who said turtlenecks were out??
	🤖 6:57pm Bas NL: I need that Premium!
