No show tonight, you Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST lovers. Your hostess, Belinda, has been stricken with vertigo of all things. At least I can think about Arrested Development, Jimmy Stewart, and High Anxiety. Things could be worse. I’ll… Read more ›

Ok, maybe a few more things than one… How Arrested Development was ever cancelled. Why Jodie Foster makes such dark movies. Where’s my jetpack? Spontaneous Human Combustion. How I ever got so lucky as to have Bubbles in the Think… Read more ›

Each time I undertake another episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank, I’m searching for something. Sometimes I find it by the end of the episode, other times the next day.  Occasionally it takes years.  Good thing I’m not in… Read more ›

I’ve been thinking a lot about process lately.  Those who know me know that I frequently do, but that’s usually more about organizational process at work.  These days, it’s all about mine. Stunned to think that Belinda is thinking only… Read more ›

Some nights you gotta quit while you’re ahead. I could have gone on, but chose instead to pack it up and go home a mere 20 minutes or so past our scheduled end time.  Oh, there was momentum that I… Read more ›

A sampling of joys in my Bubbles in the Think Tank life: When listeners let me know (even before the show starts) they are disappointed when life keeps them from listening. Playing something that I know Not Todd will love.… Read more ›

Another week, another show.  At least that’s what one might expect I feel. I spent eight hours on a train today on the way to DC.  I came prepared with my laptop, a  magazine and snacks.  Thank goodness. Not only… Read more ›

Still feeling a bit fussy following this week’s show, so I won’t blather on. What happened, you ask?  The show was perfectly lovely, but events outside that perfectly manicured bubble were incongruous to the love shared within. I shall merely… Read more ›

It doesn’t matter what is happening.  This is what is happening.  Nothing else happens that doesn’t affect it.  Its effect on all that I do is manifest at all moments.  I experience nothing in which it is not. It was… Read more ›

I’ve been quizzed a few times over the years about why I will occasionally play material that is clearly not funny on Bubbles in the Think Tank.  I usually just fall back on the standard “it’s not a comedy show,… Read more ›

I think it would be superfluous to add any comment on current events if I doth quote “Lemmings’ Lament“: We all want to go underground and get back to the earth, We don’t want nothing if it isn’t free. A… Read more ›

What?  You think a blog headline like that is irrelevant to a Bubbles in the Think Tank post?  Ok…so I’ve been watching the dog shows again, and I don’t believe that you can’t dispute the accidental precision of the random… Read more ›

When I was still hosting the home show, Bubbles in the Think Tank ORIGINAL, I played the cards close to the vest. No last name, no job references, no lots of things. And you say to yourself, “Didn’t she tell… Read more ›

While the WMFO transmitter has been at the spa, I’ve had chance (no…I’ve made the choice) to listen to a Boston area talk radio station during my weekly drive in to the show.  It’s been a harrowing experience.  The talk… Read more ›

At least I hope you want it.  You keep coming back for more of it, so what am I to assume? I’m secure knowing that Bubbles in the Think Tank makes me happy.  I believe that it holds the relative… Read more ›

In this archive, witness the virtual smackdown among news stories such as the 40 year anniversaries of both the Apollo moon landing and Chappaquiddick, as well as health care reform and the ridiculously large number of passings acknowledged in the… Read more ›

Oh, Robert Strange McNamara.  You just couldn’t let go and let it happen, could you? You could have taken a lesson from Oscar Mayer with the scariest version of the Wiener song ever.  You could have let it happen to… Read more ›

Was it the fireworks, the sight of the moon for the first time in weeks, or just the delirium of a four hour show?  Whatever it was, I’ll take a bucket of love like this anytime… it was olympian silliness… Read more ›

Kentucky is the saddest state.  Or so says the Centers for Disease Control. But you’d never know it by listening to Bubbles in the Think Tank.  Oh, we are definitely prone to a bout of melancholy on occasion or even… Read more ›

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Pride never stops at Bubbles in the Think Tank. And in that spirit, the we bring you this episode of LBGTQI fabulousity, old and new and so much in between.… Read more ›

Now that’s an intimate question. Or is it just another insider style question asked by the self-styled leader of the original Think Tank Posse that merely references the title of a song about a radio show host?  How referential do… Read more ›

Oh so sad.  Oh so true.  Belinda is gone this week. Seems that we have no one to fill in, so it’ll be the WMFO FreeForm automatron rounding out the time. But you’ll be sure to want to tune in… Read more ›

Was it a mistake?  Or was it merely irrational exuberance? The process of crafting (and yes, it is a fine craft) the weekly RadiObituary segment is a malapert endeavor.  Seeking those recently deceased deemed worthy of recognition punctuated with scurrile… Read more ›

Gosh, I didn’t even think to play “Eric the Half a Bee.” Whenever I do a theme, a tribute set, or, these days, a RadiObituary, I spend the next weeks thinking of what I coulda/woulda/shoulda played.  It’s a great way… Read more ›

For years and years, I have leaned on something known to the in-crowd as the “Q List” for help when I’m looking to broaden my thinking and playlists as I work on the myriad theme shows we’ve done at Bubbles… Read more ›

1.  Catching yourself humming “Florida” on the train loud enough that other passengers notice. 2.  Ending the answers to all questions with “Sir!” 3.  Sending Scopitone clips to your parents. 4.  Suggesting to Chandler Travis that he may be in… Read more ›
