The needle has dropped on our 24-hour vinyl marathon. Starting right now, we’re trading the digital playlists for stacks of records pulled straight from the shelves of the XPN staff. It’s all-vinyl, all day long. Listen in and catch the behind-the-scenes action on the Vinyl Cam as our hosts and special guests take over the decks.

You’ll hear the hosts you know and love — Kristen Kurtis, Mike Vasilikos, Dan Reed, Eric Schuman, Robert Drake, Amber Miller, and Jim McGuinn — going fully analog. We’re also expanding Vinyl Day to 24 hours this time around, with Stars End’s Chuck Van Zyl kicking us off with an out-of-this-world overnight session starting from midnight to 6 a.m. Thursday.

Some special guests will be stopping by, as well. Team members from our marketing, engineering, underwriting grant writing, web, and other in-house departments will join hosts throughout the day to play some of their favorite records, giving you an insight into the people behind the folks you normally hear on air. Additionally, a Vinyl Club member and listener and some musical guests are set to join us.

Be sure to tune in to 88.5, or stream the broadcast on our website here or the WXPN app, Thursday to get an entire day of warm vinyl sounds.
