885 Countdown Host Picks: Jim McGuinn on Adele’s “Chasing Pavements”

As WXPN counts down our listener-voted 885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century, our hosts are getting in on the action too, talking about songs they love from their own lists.

In our first Host Pick, Jim McGuinn shares a story about his earliest days at WXPN and a drop-by instudio performance of a song by an artist who would become a star a year later — Adele, and her hit “Chasing Pavements.”
