“Our theme music was composed by BJ Leiderman.” If you've tuned in to NPR over the last 44 years, the likelihood is pretty great that you have heard this on-air credit. It's because when BJ sold his themes to NPR, he made it a part of his contract that he would receive spoken recognition for his work. Little did he know he'd become one of the most recognizable names on the network. BJ's NPR credits include Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me, Marketplace, Car Talk, and Science Friday.   BJ  has been in the music making business his entire life, and it encompasses much more than 30 second jingles (although he is damn good at them).  In 2017, BJ released his debut album of original songs, entitled “BJ”, although that wasn't his first choice. “Natural Public Leiderman” didn't sit all that well with NPR's lawyers, so he went with the more eponymous title.   So much to share with all of you good folks!  If you click on the album above (the NPR-approved version), you'll be directed to his website where not only can you purchase this fine collection, he also has shared multiple fantastic videos of his songs, including a funky animated interpretation of “Walking Down The Street”, a boppy, upbeat song about getting dumped by his girlfriend and subsequently making his way to the top of the Empire State Building and jumping off the observation deck, plus all the adventures and observations on the way down. Yep, boppy. We talk at length about the album, the personal investment in the songwriting, where they come from, and what they draw their life from. We also talk about the purpose of music in "moving the needle", so to speak. Good, good stuff. He really is a deeply thoughtful and intentional songwriter and you know right away where he stands when you hear it. If you're an Ashvillian, check out the BJL in AVL group on Facebook that we chatted about.  He's hoping to get the ball rolling for an in-person meet up -- mostly so he can get out from behind a computer screen and into the real world with real people! Oh, and if you are still unsure if you've heard his music on the radio, enjoy this video he put together a few years back. The most creative self promotional media I believe I've ever seen!

We get the slide show.Before that, though, East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ analyzes our theme music, which sounds suspiciously like someone sending CQ (badly) on a piano. Then it's “YouTube Takedown Testing” with snippets from a variety of media that also sound as though they were based on Morse Code. Including… and one you hear it you'll never unhear it… the Mission Impossible theme.We are joined by our Midwest Correspondent Kyle Kreig AA0Z to round out the team.LINKSWe have a Discord, thanks to Jeff N4PODhttps://discord.gg/FDP3JnyDunNot sure exactly what we'll do with it, but maybe that's up to you!There's the stuff that will take us down from Facebook and YouTube:Old BBC News ThemesNPR themesNPR music composer BJ Leiderman riffing on the themesUK Vintage Radio forumThe Dit Dit Song - Tommy SteeleSlim Gaillard - CommunicationPearls Before Swine - (Oh Dear) Miss Morse (NSFW if the boss can copy cw)Episode 178: Radio Games - HamRadioNowHam Radio Live!Gary will Guest on Sept. 3, 12 noon Pacifichttps://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-hiring-for-high-frequency-direction-finding-centerNew ARRL Lab/HQ stationhttps://youtu.be/68BJxGHg74Y

It's September and that means the end of summer. Over the season we've talked to some amazing guests and covered so much. Today we're looking back on that. This week, my interview with BJ Leiderman. He is composer of many notable (NPR) National Public Radio themes. These include the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me's theme, the Weekend edition Saturday and Sunday themes, as well as the original morning edition theme.

Hello listeners, On this week's episode I talk with BJ Leiderman. If you're a public radio listener, you probably already know who he is. He is the composer behind many NPR themes including the former Morning Edition theme, the Car Talk stump the chumps theme, the Science Friday theme, and many more. We talk about his childhood inspiration, his one and only album, and of course, how he originally got to write the themes for many NPR shows. Also on this week's episode, Biden has voiced his support for removing cover-19 vaccine patents. This would mean that other countries could manufacture their own vaccines, but vaccine fraud would rise. Elsewhere I review the book, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You). I read about one year after I started this podcast, but it was still entertaining and helpful to me. Also, this is our third "podcast broadcast" (I literally just made that up, thank you) on KGVM, community radio for the Gallatin Valley. Hear us every Thursday from 5:30 - 6:00 PM.

Will Bill de Blasio call the show?!? BJ Leiderman, renown NPR composer, asks for some help eliminating his new competition; Jon pledges to "podcast these fools." Plus, Dr. Dad has an extended metaphor about Joe Biden's role in saving the country from a disease. Lot's of good music and quotes from The Tempest! 

The struggle is real on this week’s TBTL Week in Review. Forty N’ QUERTY Hillary’s anxiety is flaring because of the messy house in The Cat in the Hat, Word-forgetter Bobby is drinking warm Maker’s Mark with a Fresca back, and Future Detroit Tiny Fence Concert Host Meredith is at her wit’s end single-parenting the heck out of Bear. We’re happy for Luke’s positive life choices, and that Rich is (a) real(ly good friend), even if Luke is Frank Lloyd Wrong about where to keep his lasagna leftovers. Apologies to those who wrote throw-your-phone messages we missed. As you’ll hear, we … were getting pretty loose by the end of this one. Maybe we’d take ourselves more seriously if we had a theme song by BJ Leiderman, “the manic-depressive minstrel of public media.” This episode is sponsored by Honest Kitten cat food.

Soon after, we got down and dirty with the vivacious and very sexy Christine Garvin Christmas Go Go Dancers. BJ Leiderman, composer of NPR’s Morning Edition theme, was the Grand Finale of yet another epic podcast.

This week we spoke to music producer and author Eric "Mixerman" Sarafin. Relocated from California, Eric tells us about the music industry, producing BJ Leiderman's upcoming album, what it was like writing as the mysterious "Mixerman" to satirize life as a producer, and how he adjusted to life in Asheville. Eric has worked with musicians such as Hilary Duff, Ben Harper, David Cassidy, Lifehouse, Amy Grant, Foreigner, and more.

If you're a public radio listener, you've heard of BJ Leiderman. Hundreds of times. He's that fellow whose name is announced at the end of so many great shows, from Morning Edition to Science Friday: "and our theme music is by BJ Leiderman." Did you ever wonder who this guy is? Or how he came up with so many wonderful songs? Stewart did. Then, one day, he received an email message . . . . WARNING: This episode of Your Weekly Constitutional has nothing to do with the United States Constitution. But it has everything to do with public radio, music and fun. And while the Constitution doesn't expressly mention any of those things, well, perhaps it should.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains how pop culture fits into his plan to inundate us with a love of science. Andy Weir, author of The Martian, talks about his nerdy origin and what makes good sci fi believable. We remember the first professional female astronomer Maria Mitchell, and there's a nerd confession from BJ Leiderman.
