You know that thing where everything is terrible, but then Dreams by The Cranberries comes on and suddenly everything is fine? That's Dopamine Dupe! It's the songs that bring you back from the brink // the SSRI of radio shows // your musical alternative to a labotomy. No genre, no gender, no thoughts, just vibes. Tune in, besties!
If you've ever thought to yourself, "Man, DJing on the radio is so very cool and hip, I bet only very cool and hip people do that," rest assured Dopamine Dupe is here to prove you very wrong! DJ She/They is showing their hand - nay, their whole deck - as a lifelong weird kid with a niche special interest, and inflicting that upon WAYO's listeners with all the gusto of the late great Ethel Merman. That's right, Dupe Nation, it's Broadway night!!
Hi Barbie!!! In perhaps the most anticipated episode to date, long distance bestie of the show DJ Monogram is finally here for her very own feature. We're spinning songs from cinema that shaped us, aka films where the vibes are slay & the men are irrelevant. Here on The Dupe, being a girl's girl is gender-agnostic, and tonight, the girls are girling!!!

The Equinox is upon us, the Eclipse is nigh, & Mama Gaia is truly *on one* out there. The parade of extra special guest DJ's this March continues with the return of DJ Lil Lemon & DJ Zaddy (one half of the Mama's and the Papa's way back on DD Ep. 8) as we honor the gods and prepare for a bountiful harvest the only way we know how - with the campiest Cher track of all time.

Super Groups on the Dupe! We've got a studio full of pals, hearts full of love, bops full of dopamine, and veins full of dangerous amounts of caffeine. DJ She/They is joined once again by dear pal DJ Lil P, along with the long-awaited radio debut of Thee DJ Monogram, as the three (with the help of a live studio audience of one) confer about what it means to collab with your besties, and whether or not their hearts are gonna explode!
The good Lorde once said "It feels so scary getting old." Grow up, girl!!! Tonight on the Dupe, DJ She/They & Mommy City are embracing the terrifying passage of time and spinning bop after bittersweet bop about the years flying by. Getting older is a gift, babes, so gobble up every hehe-haha you can before we shuffle off this mortal coil!

Grab those sunnies, Dupe Nation. There are few things in this world that deliver a stronger surge of dopamine than that first glimpse of sunshine after a long-ass stretch of grey, and tonight we're chasing that high by spinnin' songs dripping in that sunshiny feeling. Enjoy the thaw!!

This episode is dedicated to all the special like-minded souls out there who also only suffer through the Big Game to get to the costumes, choreography, and unapologetic pageantry after Q2 <3 This week, DJ Dad returns to Dopamine Dupe Drafts to duke it out in our closest battle yet, the best of the Superbowl Halftime Show. And this one's extra jam-packed with factoids, trivia (only some of it is football-themed, promise), and best of all, loud opinions!
Where we're going, we don't need roads (but we DO need to be plugged into an outlet, this battery is toast). On this extra special time capsule show, we're DJing an entire hour exclusively off of DJ She/They's miraculously-still-alive circa-2009 MacBook. We poke around in this pristinely preserved iTunes library to see what gems we can find, while romanticizing the days of Busch Lights in ur SUNY dorm under the Obama administration :') Vintage volume button sounds included!
This week DJ She/They is joined by dear pal of the show DJ Space Heater to slow down a bit & wax poetic about what it means to winter (/verb) in this dark grey snow globe we call home. We chat a bit about Katherine May's book "Wintering" (okay book club!!), lean deep into catharses, and eulogize the special cats in our lives we've said goodbye to in the quiet of a Rochester January. Get out ur heated blankets besties & cozy up for a perfect lil soundtrack to ur seasonal affective disorder.
