So, I've been downloading #GBLTQ resources and historical documents (including #QueerTalk, a radio show on #WMPG hosted by one of my first friends after I moved to #Maine). Why am I doing this? Because I don't trust #Trump and fiends to be in charge of public university archives. I'll be uploading those precious digital records to the @internetarchive soon. So grateful IA are there to be an independent repository of #History and #Culture! 📚 🎧 🎥

So, one of the staples of my radio listening when I first moved to #Maine was #EasternSands, hosted by #JackieNice. Not only was Jackie an amazing DJ (who introduced folks to music from the #MiddleEast and around the world), she was known for her generosity and kindness. She and her sister Deidre owned Silly's Restaurant -- a #PortlandME jewel -- and often fed homeless folks and those who couldn't afford a meal. Hail and farewell to someone who knew what #Community was all about!

Remembering Jackie Nice

"It is with great sadness that we share the news that longtime #WMPG volunteer and programmer Jackie Nice passed away this past week.

"For more than 25 years, Jackie welcomed listeners every Sunday afternoon as the beloved host of Eastern Sands Radio. Her program introduced audiences to music and cultures from around the world, reflecting her belief that sharing music could help make the world a more understanding and compassionate place.

"As fellow WMPG volunteer Dave Wade so beautifully wrote, Jackie 'opened our ears and minds to all kinds of music from around the world with a goal to make it a better place to live.'

"Jackie’s passion for community radio never faded. She continued hosting her program well into her 80s, sharing her warmth, curiosity, and love of music with generations of listeners. She passed away on Monday, just one month shy of her 90th birthday.

"For many years Jackie was a cherished part of WMPG’s Sunday afternoons and an inspiration to volunteers and listeners alike. Her voice, her spirit, and the music she shared will be deeply missed.

"Our thoughts are with Jackie’s family, friends, and the many listeners whose lives she touched.

Thank you, Jackie, for the music, the memories, and your many years of service to the WMPG community. You will be greatly missed."

From her obituary: "The atoms that once danced together as Jackie Nice will continue their own infinite journey through the universe, just as her love continues through all of us. 'When I die, do not seek my resting place in the earth; find it in the hearts of people.' Attributed to the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi"

So, one of the things I love about listening to #CommunityRadio is the randomness of the music selections. I hear new-to-me music (sometimes in genres that I don't usually listen to) as well as "golden oldies" from my early childhood.

Streaming services either throw stuff at you (based on algorithms) or can keep one stuck listening to the same music over and over (which can be good for "comfort listening" and recalling memories, but not for sparking new pathways).

On tonight's (May 28, 2026) episode of #BluntYouthRadio, #MaineYouth talk about #Surveillance in #Maine.

"#WMPG’s Blunt Youth Radio Project brings together Maine teenagers to produce audio stories and interviews on topics that matter to them. Finished work is aired on WMPG or made available in podcast format."

So, I see that a few of #WMPG's podcasts and shows are on the #InternetArchive. I've been downloading some of their more political shows to upload as a record of these times...
