WELL THAT WAS FUN! Whether you tuned in for 1 hour of our @tmbg.bsky.social marathon on @kmsumaverick.bsky.social or all 12, we hope you had a good time listening to amazing requests, being moved by thoughtful stories, chatting with John Linnell, and jamming to TMBG's soundcheck!
A black and white photo of two people who appear to be completely exhausted after having listened to 12 hours of TMBG on the radio. Inexplicably, superimposed green text reads "They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants".

NOTE FROM THE ARTIST: "Just finished my Tretchikoff-inspired TMBPTMBG Colouring Competition entry. He might be a famous Belgian Painter but James is clearly too grey and boring to win the heart of a true-blue THEY-GRRRL!"

This black & white line art image is a modified panel from an 1950s-era romance comic book. The focus of the image is a contemplative person saying "I know James is a very sweet boy but my heart belongs only to tmbg.love...". Surrounding them are three vignettes of couples in romantic scenes -- holding hands, dancing, and kissing. Bold text at top reads "THEY MIGHT BE PLAYING THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS?". At bottom right, text reads "FRIDAY, NOV. 14, 2025, 6AM-6PM CENTRAL, KMSU 89.7FM MANKATO MINNESOTA, STREAMING @ KMSU.ORG". Doesn't it sound simply dreamy???

This image is a manipulation of a 1950's-era romance comic book cover, showing a vibrant couple enjoying a warmth of a nearby fire. Speaking of manipulation, we're very subtly trying to get you to share the following information that adorns this image: They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants is 12 hours of TMBG on the radio by global request. It's happening November 14, 2025, from 6am-6pm Central, broadcast from KMSU 89.7 FM in Mankato, Minnesota, and streaming around the world at KMSU.org.

You know that thing where two people standing really close to each other both have their heads turned directly toward you, and are staring at your with a vacuous intensity that makes you slightly uncomfortable? This image is like that, but it also sort of looks like a 1950's-era romance comic book cover with the title "They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants" along with "12 Hours of TMBG on the Radio by Global Request" and the following information: "Nov. 14, 2025 / 6AM-6PM Central / KMSU 89.7 FM Mankato, Streaming @ KMSU.ORG".

A 1950s-era romance comic book cover featuring a dapper couple in gentle embrace, smiling playfully at each other. Seemingly it's a fairytale moment, but... is there a hidden darkness? Is it possible -- NO! IT CANNOT BE! -- that these two don't listen to KMSU 89.7 FM in Mankato, Minnesota, USA or livestream it at KMSU.org from around the globe?? Surely they're more well-adjusted than that.

@kmsumaverick.bsky.social's @tmbg.bsky.social marathon returns Nov. 14th, and the Johns may too! Visit www.tmbg.love and click QUESTIONS to let us know what you'd like us to ask them!
#TMBG #TMBPTMBG #TheyMightBeGiants
Against a red backdrop, two lovers embrace... but is the raging fire between them fueled by passion? Or by the turmoil and self-doubt that comes from not knowing what they'd like to ask John Flansburgh and John Linnell if they return to join the 12th annual They Might Be Playing They Might Be Giants marathon November 14th on KMSU? Just the idea of 12 hours of TMBG on the radio by global request feels almost too good to be true -- but it IS true! IT IS! They resign themselves to visiting www.tmbg.love to learn more and, should their passion fuel creativity, submit the question that weighs most heavily in their hearts.
