Speaking of, I listen to a station out of Seattle during the workday and had both kids home last Friday so I sent in a request for them without telling them. Pretty cool to see them react when their names were said live. Very 80s.

Pretty cool to see them react when their names were said live. Very 80s. Is that KEXP in Seattle you were referencing there, but if so, I feel like you would have specified? That's WEXP's misnomer station. Were it not for KEXP's own notoriety, I'm fairly certain my "WEXP Classic" tribute playlist on Spotify would still be stuck in the single digits of streams/subscribers instead of dozens. I enjoy KEXP's indie format. I only found out about KEXP because of disambiguation with WEXP, so I think that's funny that some of their listeners accidentally stumble onto WEXP and have tried to stream us (but not for very long, once they realize their ears have started to bleed).

WEXP's 50TH ANNIVERSARY (1973-2023) Reunion Show is coming up very soon! If interested in being on the planning crew for this day of nostalgia and reminiscing, please send me a message. We are going to put a tour of the current station on the itinerary. There will be pizza and cake served there, some WEXP trivia contests, and more. We will also be organizing a one hour reunion broadcast on Twitter spaces and Zoom to encourage maximum participation from outside the immediate area.
We'd love to get YOUR ideas and input to make our event a success so send me a message if you'd love to be a part of what we're all planning! And happy 50th Anniversary to all of you in the WEXP Alumni Circle & Friends.

1,149 days between posts here ... yes, KEXP. Been listening for approaching 20 years now, for as long as I knew how to run the stream through iTunes. A bit easier now.

Ideas for WEXP's 50th anniversary reunion, people? I'm hoping access to the studio elicits a YES response from anyone who would be on the fence. Will have the date lined up soon, so that you can plan to attend if you wish.

I, for one, would be interested in the ZOOM call if there is one, with me being outside of the Philly market. I would be interested in hearing about improvements to the studio and its location on campus. Also, a reliable link to the station would be great.

I'd potentially come down depending on when it was, but I can't commit to that. But everything nyalum said above are my sentiments as well.
