The Slack Tide
As the calendar sets us up for another transition, this show is about being in the in-between.
Like a slack tide, which is that sliver of time between low and high tide.
A time to individually reflect on the events of last year, while waiting for next year to begin before the current begins to shift.
We got this! ❤️

Thanks for tuning into my final show of 2025.
I will leave you in good hands next week with an encore of one of your favorite FM Odyssey shows.
We have gone through a lot in these past 12 months. As Dylan sang, "Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm".
Thanks to all of our FM Odyssey family for being there for each other & shining your light each day to make this a better place.
In 2026, this little experiment I started on April 7th, 1991, will turn 35 years old! As Sandy Denny sang,"Who knows where the time goes"
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making what I do a part of your weekly routine.
As my late friend and NY radio pioneer, Pete Fornatale would say. . .
See ya on the radio

FM Odyssey Sunday, December 21st from 10-1 PM EST:
"The Holiday Show"
Each year, I pride myself on giving us a break from the months of traditional holiday songs that make us sick by Christmas!
Rather, a personal journey for each of us, through songs and how they pluck at the heart strings of each of us differently this time of the year.
An opportunity to take a deep breath, drawing us back to being in the moment, before it's all gone for another year.
Capiche?

History
WFIT 89.5 FM is a non-commercial, public radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to the Trustees of the Florida Institute of Technology. In April of 1975, Florida Institute of Technology began its non-commercial educational radio station as WFIT, a student-run college radio station. In the late 1980’s, WFIT was regarded as one of the top alternative music college radio stations in the country.
WFIT was interconnected with the public radio satellite system in 1993, and shortly thereafter became an affiliate of National Public Radio. In response to changing demographics, WFIT changed its format to jazz and began broadcasting public radio news as well as a variety of other culturally diverse music and educational programs.
An FCC approved power increase to 8,000 kilowatts in 1998 extended the station’s signal to include more Brevard County listeners, reaching north to Cocoa and Cocoa Beach, and south to Vero Beach in Indian River County. Automated equipment has enabled the station to broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week, maximizing the range of audiences served. WFIT upgraded its transmitter in 2004 and became the first radio station in Brevard County to broadcast in HD radio technology.
In January of 2006, WFIT changed its daytime programming from smooth jazz to “Triple A” (Adult Album Alternative) radio. A spinoff from the album-oriented rock format, Triple A’s musical selection tends toward the fringe of mainstream pop and rock as well as many other music genres such as indie rock, alternative rock, jazz, electronic, folk, blues, world and roots music. A diverse group of 23 local volunteer show hosts contribute to this mix. Additionally, WFIT proudly broadcasts two local, venerable classical music shows: Jay Lamy's Mozart's Attic and Bill Carrigan’s Classics for a Sunday Evening. Cultural diversity in our programming is evidenced by our C’est La Vie, Roots Rock Reggae and Latin Rhythms shows.
WFIT moved into its brand new 5,000 square foot facility located in the heart of campus in December of 2012. Our new building has 6 recording studios, a performance studio and a conference studio to facilitate the broadcast of round table discussions. In addition WFIT now has the capability to broadcast live performances for the Gleason Center for Performing Arts.
Since its inception in 1975, WFIT has also sponsored hundreds of concerts and cultural events. WFIT looks forward to many more decades of growth and service to the community.
