Dan Reed hosts Afternoons on WXPN (4-7pm, M-Th) and is WXPN's Music Director.

Once or twice a week, Dan digs out the vinyl and spins some favorites on Flea Market Vinyl. View the Flea Market Vinyl archives.

Dan is also the man behind the 885 Countdowns and Big Wheel of Music. Here's a story UPENN did on Dan "The Man".

Dan Reed is also the founder (then at WFPK Louisville) and producer of the NON-COMMvention.

The NON-COMMvention has grown to become the premier annual conference for North America's non-commercial Triple A radio stations. It was originally founded as an alternative to the annual commercial Triple A convention, but the event has grown and now hosts a number of adventurous commercial Triple A stations as well.

You can find out more about Dan "The Man" Reed here.
