Here’s everything you could possibly need while Jon Solomon hosts his 35th-Annual 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show live from home on WPRB between 5:00 pm ET on Christmas Eve and 6:00 pm ET on Christmas Day.
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.
The 2023 Xmas Playlist will be updated throughout the program at wprb.com. You can find the Live Listener Chat there too!
Expect a new “Christmas Story” to premiere in-between every full set.
The deadline for this year’s submissions is December 21st!

Tobias Carroll – “HOLIDAY CUSTOMS OF NEW JERSEY TOWNS EPISODE 14: Okcidenta”
I’m a big fan of the writing of Tobias Carroll and this contribution to the show might be his best to-date. Read it here. Carroll is the author of four books: the novels Reel and Ex-Members; Transitory, a short story collection; and Political Sign, a work of nonfiction in the Object Lessons series.
To celebrate a decade of recording songs for the show, the great Edith Frost wrote a tune *about* the marathon! Exceptionally flattering. Hopefully she’ll be back in 2023 too…
