Coffee Break: April Fools!
by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala
April 01, 2026

It’s the first of April, so watch out for tricks, pranks, and practical jokes. While the history of the holiday is a little unclear, some say it’s because of the jokes that Mother Nature likes to play with the weather this time of year. (But, seriously, have you checked the forecast lately?!?!)
Luckily, we don’t have any tricks up our sleeve, and the joke isn’t really on anyone because we’ll end up with a great set of music. Let’s create a playlist even a fool could love.
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs related to fools would you like to hear?
