Hey!
I’ve always wanted to write a perfect click-bait headline. Ok listen, two quick things for the KMSOB Wednesday post that I want to share with you.
First Thing
If you want to pay to support the writing I’m doing here, that’s incredible and goes a long way for me. So thank you. I’m going to keep the paid sub option open but I’m ditching the paywalls. I’ve learned that people who opt to upgrade are just doing it to support, not because of any additional or exclusive things. So let’s make it all accessible. It was about a year trial for me to run it with paywalls for things and now that I have some data to go on, it doesn’t make sense. It’s also more work for me.
the OTHER Thing
This Friday, tune into KMSU’s 13th Annual They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants Marathon!
What is it? Exactly what it sounds like! Public radio station, KMSU 89.7 FM The Maverick in Mankato, Minn, will be playing thirteen hours of TMBG.
Global Requests
Live Fan Photo streams
Active Group Chats
A coloring contest! (deadline is 11/12/26)
Listeners can submit questions for the John L and John F. That’s right - each year, the band has eagerly participated multiple times throughout the broadcast.
Plus! There is an interactive virtual world made for TMBG fans to hang out and explore called TMBG Country on the Topia platform for FREE.
When Is It? Friday, November 13, 2026, 6am-7pm Central.
How Do You Listen? The easiest way to listen if you don’t own a radio and also live in south central Minnesota, is online. There is an app available for any smartphone or via your browser. Radio on the internet?!

I’m writing about every They Might Be Giants song in order, and paid subscribers are the reason I can keep doing it.
A year is $30. That’s $2.50 a month. There’s also a $7 monthly option if you enjoy paying more for the same thing. Either way, you become an extremely cool person.
Ugh, unfortunately Central Time means it goes from 4 am to 5 pm Pacific. I’ll have to try to sneak a few moments to listen between meetings that day. Still a very cool thing!
whoah! i had never heard of the marathon! thanks for mentioning!
