I spent about two weeks at @wxpnfm.bsky.social making a list and checking it twice only to come up with about 50 songs in my personal Top Ten. I finally gave up and picked my faves (at the moment). Enjoy! #XPNcountdown

My view this morning as I sit in at the News Desk ... Yesterday I put up the larger elements of my XPN Studio decorations in preparation for my 32nd year with you on December 24th. Naturally, I will continue to tinker and add items for the next month or so! HoHoHo! 🎅 @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Here’s an example of what’s wrong with @septaphilly.bsky.social / this route goes from cancelling rides completely due to driver shortage to stacking multiple buses every rush hour. There’s a reason we call it the 57 Train in South Philly. They come three at a time. Gotta love it.

While I can’t reveal the artist just yet, kudos to the elves at WXPN who quickly decorated our performance studio for a holiday session today, using some of my annual studio decor. Now I get to bring those items (and more!) into the main studio to get it ready for the season! @wxpnfm.bsky.social
