Another cycle in the weekly Hivemind,
Pinewave Pals! This week on Playing By Ear,
we've got some definite big galactic energy,
as this week's audio adventure is entitled:
'A Hyperstatic Blip of the Cosmic Mix'
I swear, it can't have been a week since New Year's; can it?! Sometimes, time gets away from us,
as we all know firsthand. Give yourself a break
and find the weekend calm at your own pace.
And, in the meantime, tune in and Blast off;
lose yourself in the musical vibes,
and join the ongoing search for the ever-elusive Groove Oasis for a brand new Playing By Ear-
Fridays at 3pm on Shadypinesradio.com.
❤️😉🚀👩‍🚀📻🦉

Okay, we’re going to be honest…

Before the year wraps up, we really do need your help.

Portland Radio Project is a nonprofit, community-powered radio station, and listener support is quite literally how we pay the bills — rent, utilities, music licensing, streaming, equipment, and keeping the station on the air.

If you listen, if you care, if PRP has ever been part of your day — please consider making a year-end gift today. It’s tax-deductible, and it directly supports the work we do every single day.

Big things are coming in 2026. Your support helps make them possible.

🎧 Commercial-free
🎶 Local artists
📻 Listener-supported

Thank you for listening. Thank you for showing up for community radio.

We truly couldn’t do this without you.

and further Season's Greetings!
The fellas in the labs down on level 11
are calling this one
'A No Expectations Christmas Celebration',

with a bit of PBE pop culture and nostalgia!
Here's wishing you the merriest of Christmases, and to All a good Night!
I'll catch you mañana at 3 for PBE

Monday at 8pm! Join host Aron Schur for your weekly dose of the starry sounds of our
Curated musical Cosmos!
That being said, I'll be out of town next week

WILL BE the LAST of 2025! Hopefully 2026
has many great things ahead in store for us.

Well hey there, Pinewave Pals!
So,The rains are back among us in the
Pacific Northwest this week,
and, being as such, I'm proposing
that we just say F**k It- and get Funky!
The folks down in the labs down on level 11 have properly bestowed the title of
'Ain't No Junk In This Friday's Funky Trunk'
on this week's episode, being of the sound mind
that some funky highsteppin' will elevate our
Friday feelings, whether or not we get soaked in the process.. so tune in for the long haul,
get ready to bop, and turn up the Funk Factor
with us this holday season; this Friday at 3pm on Shadypinesradio.com !
Come and find me in the Groove Oasis,
Fridays at 3pm for Playing By Ear
on Portland's own Shady Pines Radio!

Greetings and Salutations, Intrepid Audio Explorers!
We're making an escape from our 80s fate
as of late, and taking a trip back to the
world of the wonderful and weird,
on the far orbit of Neptune's Moons.
And I'll just say it out loud,
for the Cheap seats in the back-
This Simulation we find ourselves in currently
SUCKS BIG TIME! 🤖🛰😜 on that note-
Come and get your double shot of
Audio Escapism from the automaton nation
on Playing By Ear, Fridays at 3
on Shadypinesradio.com
Nobody escapes the sands of time,
so we best enjoy the time we got!
I'll catch you on the Pinewaves, Frienz!
😉❤️🤘🦉📻🛰🚀👨‍🚀🤖

Greetings and Salutations, Pinewave Pals!

Unfortunately I'm a robot this week,
but we're bringing you an updated version of one of our very favorite episodes from the PBE vault.
This week we're time travelling back to
Dec 6th, 2024- specifically for Playing By Ear
ep. 170, entitled:
'Startunnels, Stasis, and Sandwiches!'
(Emphasis on the sandwiches,
because, well... SANDWICHES!🤩🥪❤️)
