Dumb Things. that old Paul Kelly and the Messengers song. the synapses fire. the fingers tap. the volume increases. then My Morning Jacket comes over the airwaves. the road continues but it is no longer dark. New Pornographers play. some old Frank Zappa. Bright Eyes. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss. Sly and the Family Stone. the Nighthawks. the Arctic Monkeys. it's only when the static sets in that i realize that i have made it home. i pull up in front of my house and turn off the ignition. WTMD probably saved my life tonight. thank goodness there wasn't a Towson basketball game that night. i might still be on I-95.

WTMD is the great alternative radio station in town. They're likely to play anything they want at…read moreany given moment. I find it a little unfortunate that means they play a LOT of standards from the 70s and 80s, but they do go right back to modern/eclectic selections. They really shine when they play blocks of music based on themes. Weasel's Wild Weekend is a great showcase for interesting music that you don't always hear, and they do blues shows and other off the beaten path segments. They do a lot of community concerts and events, including Baltimore-themed contests through phone apps (which usually only work with the most up to date OSs.) This is truly a home town station for music lovers.

I tell all my friends, especially when issues of the day arise to tune into 'BAL! So after a few words of praise-and understand they do want Baltimore to be a successful city again - so report the deficiencies so that we can FIND SOLUTIONS! 'BAL's claim sadly that says they are the outlet for local citizens to express points of view are false when they DON'T ALLOW callers to call in! I've always been respectful - no personal attacks only critical if bad decision makers- or critical of my local team cause I want them to succeed! So your Radio Office staff says it's ok for me to talk - I've written them! But your radio team never allows my call ins to go through! My friends are now saying - 'we miss you 'Nick -in Bel Air!

Beyond that it's an AM news station with a heavy right-wing slant and chock full of ads.

Spencer has fabulous taste in music! In fact, your whole staff is terrific! THANK YOU. My only comment on the weekday early morning show where Ashley is the host, I really enjoy him except when he puts on the "Background" music so loud that it practically drowns out his announcements. Maybe it is just me. I prefer to hear only the music or only the announcement...OR turn down the background music during the announcement! Otherwise, your station is the very best! Thanks again, Pat F.
