Podcast: WXPN 88.5 FM

Growing up, my family had music playing throughout the house from the early morning hours until bedtime. We listened to an array of music ranging from the likes of Bob Dylan, CSNY, Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell to classics such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Billie Holiday and a myriad of underground eclectic alternative rock bands from all over the world. You could always guarantee that there would be music playing in the McDougall house.

When I was young, my parents discovered an alternative radio station called WXPN 88.5 FM, which was located in nearby Philadelphia. WXPN played a wide range of music - so many genres that I cannot begin to name them here. WXPN was essentially the soundtrack to my life. When I left home, to head out to Indiana for college, my WXPN days were over...or so I thought. After a year or so of WXPNless life, I stumbled upon the WXPN podcast. The podcast played all the music as well as the news. I downloaded a number of programs to my ipod and it continues to be a favorite of mine today!
