A summertime staple, WXPN’s Throwback Thursday returns for 2023, with a bit of a twist.
Every Thursday for the next three months, we’ll spotlight a different musical icon beloved by the WXPN community throughout the day, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. At the top of each hour, you’ll hear a 20-minute block of their music — popular favorites as well as deep cuts, outtakes and album sides, live recordings and other surprises — uniquely curated in the XPN style.
Join the conversation online using the hashtag #TBTXPN and listen this Thursday, June 1 for our first #TBTXPN featured artist: Bob Marley. Find the full schedule of featured artists below. Throwback Thursday on WXPN is made possible with support from Nolan Painting and The Museum of The American Revolution.
