Ariel Baddass on the air and taking your requests

November 8, 2025

Paying Attention™ DJ Ariel Baddass convinced management to add a request/dedication line for folks to hear what they want, when they want it, and send it on out there to someone special if they so desire.

Hey boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This is Ariel B spinning platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl whenever possible. Just to remind you, I was asked to leave my last gig after my tribute to the great Joey Reynolds. As Joey did on his last day at WIBG in Philly back in the early ‘70s, I locked myself in the booth and played John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance for an hour or so, until they brought in a locksmith and a very large gentleman to help me to my car.

Thanks to the good folks at Paying Attention for hookin’ me up to once again play the platters, spin the saucers, dish out the discs and respect the stacks of wax here at PA Central. I hope you’ll enjoy us playin’ the hits, the misses, and anything else you might wanna hear.


I. Mangrey perusing the playlist

DJ: Let’s hit the ground spinning and take our first call. And who do we have on the line?

Caller Betzy: Hi, Betzy here, long time listener, first time caller.

DJ: Hi Betzy. Nice hearing from you. What’s your request and who are you dedicating it to? We’re here to make it happen.

Caller Betzy: Thanks Ariel. I would love to hear Elvis Costello doing (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding. I’d like this to go out to all the anti-woke Trump junkies. I would like to help them wake up and smell reality. These poor folks are seriously ill and toxically white. And they’re making the rest of us sick as hell.

DJ: Excellent choice. A great cover of the classic Nick Lowe tune. Love your dedication. Trying to help these poor suckers out of their stupor. There’s nothing funny about them. Thanks for calling in.  Comin’ right up.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding

Send us your requests and dedications and we’ll get ‘em on the air.
