Festive requests? Email jon@wprb.com!

Listen to the marathon at 103.3 fm WPRB or by clicking here.

If you’re within our terrestrial broadcast radius, tuning in via an actual radio is preferable so as to not keep those far away from accessing the web stream.

Expect a new “Christmas Story” to premiere in-between every full set.

You can follow Jon on Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Instagram.
