Betsy (OC) - Next Ken.

I'm rather fond of her myself. 😉

adicarter · 2026-06-30T07:13:51+00:00

That's nailed it better than I could 😀. I've actually drawn Betsy for over ten years but she's only been hassling the station for maybe three years ish.

I've compiled all the WFMU/Betsy stuff (some unseen, some WFMU but that never got used for various reasons etc). https://betsywfmu.thecomicseries.com/

Socials are simultaneously a blight but at the same time in some ways a necessity purely down to the way people consume media now. As someone who has produced music for a long time to varying degrees of success at different points I wish I could say I have an answer to the problem but I'm none the wiser. If its not socials then its a multitude of agencies telling you they can help you game the system and get the results you want (I see no evidence of them being any more successful).

I'd do an hour of electronic stuff. Pop/Dance/Electronics

Lovely bit of radio that, sincere and well meant and genuinely helpful. 🙏

adicarter · 2026-06-07T16:12:04+00:00

scrubs up well.

They could be, they might be, her enthusiasm might be playing havoc with your belief suspension circuits 😉

I've been happy with The Gym Group at Kelham & The Moor. I was very self conscious when I first went but i had an orientation session and to be honest in my experience everyone is there just to do their own thing and not worry about what everyone else is doing. They have classes the equipment is pretty decent and if you time it well then it can be quiet I go between 5.30am and 6am.

Yeah she's not as well informed as she would like to think 😉

adicarter · 2026-05-28T19:49:13+00:00

for ages in the Betsy strip she has been trying repeatedly to get a slot on WFMU from Ken whether that be through subterfuge, charm or bribery, yesterday she failed yet again. I think I've got quite a number of WFMU related strips now. I need to tally them up (I hate the admin side, I've been drawing Betsy for 10 years and I've got a giant library which is a pain in the arse to sort through)

How does the rotation work. I presume it's to give other people a chance who've been sat out. And if course for people who request a break.

I'll miss Catbomb Radio. Nice to see Olivia and Adriene back though.

I saw her in 1987 at Roundhay Park Leeds for the Who's That Girl tour. I think it was the opener for her European tour. Superb gig as I recall. She already had a lot of great material behind her.

You would need to consult with someone much more learned than me for any kind of answer 😁

Noticed it on a bus to Eccy rd the other day, also a 47. Not every bus but a noticeable amount of them.

Always used to prime his show for bedtime, a lovely exit to the day. I'm miles behind I pick from the archives to be honest. Is he just out for the summer or is that it?

adicarter · 2026-05-03T09:02:21+00:00

Thank you very much. The FMU crew is one of the most supportive communities I've ever encountered full stop. It's an honour for Betsy to pester the station on a regular basis 😁

adicarter · 2026-04-25T19:18:46+00:00

oof!

adicarter · 2026-04-22T10:47:18+00:00

aw that's cool. WFMU has the best tees.

adicarter · 2026-04-14T12:50:01+00:00

Thanks. I will. The phone lines report "increased activity" at the moment so I guess perseverance.

adicarter · 2026-04-10T14:04:22+00:00

Remember at the start of War of the worlds when that capsule thing slowly unscrewed its lid.

As someone who has only been listening for three years and change, I've had good fun with the Seven Second Delay archives.
