It is happening.

The 2020 edition of my 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB will begin on Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm ET and run until Christmas Day at 6:00 pm ET.

For the first (and hopefully last) time ever, the marathon will transpire LIVE FROM HOME<\/strong>, broadcast from my dining room table.

My wish for this year in particular is that the show brings all of us together, listening to the same songs and stories, even as we\u2019re very much apart during this global pandemic.

Everything but the location should be as you remember it (knocks nervously on laptop), with new surprises planned for year 32. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press folks, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s talk Christmas Stories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the last nine years I have asked a number of friends, musicians, comedians and others that I admired to record their definition of an original \u201cChristmas story\u201d to be interspersed throughout my marathon, alongside Snaildartha: The Story of Jerry the Christmas Snail, the all-Misfits-inspired sets, Ramones-o-Clock, Lindstrom\u2019s \u201cLittle Drummer Boy,\u201d the all-Fall Christmas set, Joel Phelps\u2019 myriad pieces and other annual favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This addition has brought a new level of excitement to the program and made the tradition all the more special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For year 32, I\u2019m again counting on YOU!

I’m not going to list all the amazing people who have recorded pieces in the past this time out. You know the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for 2020 is December 21st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Christmas Story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well\u2026it can be a reading of a favorite Xmas tale, a cover of a holiday song you love or an original piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I leave that in your capable hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to receive so many recordings that I can once again debut one of these an hour throughout the marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions can be sent to\u00a0this email address<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My lone request is that you do not post your piece elsewhere before it airs during the show<\/strong>! Please! Afterwards go nuts, just mention the show<\/strong> when you do share on Bandcamp \/ Soundcloud \/ Quibi \/ etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please spread the word and have a safe holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ps. Songs inspired by The Fall, The Ramones and\/or The Misfits will always get priority status!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
