August 14 on WXPN, we’re going back to where it all began, spinning the songs that helped make XPN the station you know today. These are the tracks that shaped our sound, built our community, and became part of our DNA.

It’s a journey packed with nostalgia, but also a few surprises along the way. We’ll dig into forgotten gems, revisit landmark hits, and maybe even uncover a few songs you didn’t realize we helped champion.

Starting at 6 a.m., we’ll be playing everything from Richard Thompson’s “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” to Brandi Carlile’s “The Story”, and maybe even a little of David Gray’s “Babylon.”

Follow along all day with #TBTXPN and share the songs that first made you an XPN fan.
