Mark your calendars for November 10th, 2025, because something special is taking over the airwaves! The Early Bird Show, hosted by the dynamic trio of Maria Somerville, Spirit Blue, and Jack Rollo, is your new morning ritual. But here's the twist: this isn't your average wake-up call. It's a carefully curated journey through soundscapes that challenge, inspire, and soothe—all before your first cup of coffee.
Broadcasting live from 7-9am every weekday, this show is a love letter to the early risers, the dreamers, and the curious minds. Maria Somerville kicks things off on Mondays and Tuesdays, Spirit Blue takes the reins on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Jack Rollo closes out the week on Fridays. Together, they’ve crafted a playlist that’s as eclectic as it is captivating.
And this is the part most people miss: the tracklist isn’t just a random assortment of songs—it’s a narrative. From Colleen’s ethereal Le Bateau to the haunting Reprise - Julie On The Stairs by Zbigniew Preisner, each track is a chapter in a story that unfolds as the sun rises. Anonymous and Lorenzo Ghielmi’s Upon La Mi Re? It’s a medieval whisper in a modern world. Annelies Monseré’s Your Bones, Your Skin? A raw, intimate moment that feels like a secret shared.
But here’s where it gets controversial: is Lynched (Demo) by Spoonfed Hybrid a bold statement or a step too far? And what about Miles Davis’ Guinnevere (Stan Tonkel mix)—is it a masterpiece or a departure from his best work? We’re not afraid to ask the tough questions, and we want you to join the conversation.
The show doesn’t shy away from diversity, either. Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté’s Be Mankan brings West African rhythms to your morning, while Chet Baker’s A Taste of Honey is a smooth jazz interlude that feels like a warm embrace. And let’s not forget the unexpected—like Smerz’s A Thousand Lies (Fine EDIT), a track that’s as enigmatic as it is addictive.
By the time Vince Guaraldi’s Thanksgiving Theme rolls around, you’ll feel like you’ve lived a thousand lives in just two hours. But the real question is: What does this playlist say about the world we live in? Is it a reflection of our chaos, our beauty, or both?
Tune in to The Early Bird Show and decide for yourself. And don’t forget to drop a comment—we want to hear your take on these tracks, the hosts, and the bold choices that make this show unlike anything else on the radio. Are we pushing boundaries too far, or is this the future of morning radio? Let’s debate it!
