In more pleasant news, BAGeL Radio is now available on even more devices and our new website is beginning to look less like it was slapped together by a dull age 4 child. See for yourself at bagelradio.com. I realize that many of you are reading this there, but contemporaneously at least more of you are reading this via the old blog which I can’t seem to quit. My severely lacking design skills seem to fare better on the site than on the ancient blog, would you agree?
Getting down to the business of live-hosted internet radio, today is the first new episode of 480 Minutes of 2022. (Speaking of 2022, today I wrote the date including year by hand on a piece of paper — hold your applause, please, I’m not finished yet — and got…it…right!). OK, go ahead, you can cheer now. Today’s show will feature new music by Deap Vally (Los Angeles, CA, @DeapVally), Dmitry Wild (New York, NY, @DmitryWild), Inca Babies (Manchester, England, @IncaBabiesUK), Low Life (Sydney, Australia, @LowLifeSyd), Sprints (Dublin, Ireland, @SprintsMusic), Strange Colours (Chicago, IL), Wet Leg (Isle of Wight, England, @WetLegBand), & The Coathangers (Atlanta, GA, @TheCoathangers) covering Blondie (New York, NY, @BlondieOfficial).
A few updates with regard to BAGeL Radio’s transition from being part of the wonderful SomaFM to being an island unto itself we have a free Android app in the Google Play store with both an iOS & MacOS app to follow and, perhaps even an AppleTV app. In the meantime, iPhonies who use CarPlay can ask Siri to “play bagel radio on tune in [or whichever aggregator app you use]” and not only will the music begin, song info will display on your dashboard screen!
A standalone playlist history page is also in the works.
All-new BAGeL Radio merch is almost ready including t-shirts (men's and women's), hoodies, coffee mugs, back packs, sports bras, & more.
Tune in and chat with other members of our music discovery-obsessed community on Slack during the live-hosted hours.

Although I am not recommending going to indoor live music gigs at this time while Omicron & The Variants are opening shows in venues across the globe, for future reference do check out the amazing gig-finding tool longtime listener Sergio made to help us all find live music events featuring artists played on BAGeL Radio.

480 Minutes / Year 18 - Episode 1/768
It's New Year's Eve, people! Don't go out! There is a highly contagious airborne virus floating around out there spreading so fast that one Ohio hospital this week reported that 54.7% of their patients they tested for COVID tested positive. It's bonkers. Sure, Omicron seems to pack less of a symptom punch than previous mutations, and those who are vaccinated are relatively safe from severe disease if infected, but they will still be facilitators to the spread.
Like Xmas Eve last week, today and this weekend will be reruns, reruns, and more reruns starting on the 9s (9am, 9pm x 3). We have a few previous Year-End Top Music episodes queued up for you, including the 2021* show for those who missed it! Same will be true next Friday, aka New Year’s Eve. Enjoy!
Happy holidays, y’all, and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to you and yours.

Santa is running late so our ROKU app, iOS app, and merch store won’t arrive in time for the holiday, but all are in the works. The Android app is available, and you can train your favorite digital assistant to launch BAGeL Radio — after a while “[Keyword] play BAGeL Radio” will suffice.
With tonight being Christmas Eve, today and this weekend will be reruns, reruns, and more reruns starting on the 9s (9am, 9pm x 3). We have a few previous Year-End Top Music episodes queued up for you, including the 2021* show for those who missed it! Same will be true next Friday, aka New Year’s Eve. Enjoy!
