Get fired up, because year 36 of THE MARATHON will be here soon!

The 2024 edition of Jon Solomon’s 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show<\/strong> on 103.3 fm WPRB starts on Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm ET and goes steady until Christmas Day at 6:00 pm ET. 

No repeats, no naps.

We’re LIVE FROM HOME<\/strong> for a fifth time, because there’s no going back once you\u2019ve hosted a extended broadcast like this surrounded by your family with ample sunlight coming through numerous windows, not to mention zero heavy lifting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best traditions are slated to return this year.

That means…

Snaildartha! Lindstrom’s Little Drummer Boy! Ramones-o-Clock! Sets inspired by The Misfits, New Order \/ Joy Division, Black Sabbath, Beastie Boys and The Fall! Joel RL Phelps! Maggie’s Reindeer Rumble! All these faves plus hours upon hours of material new for 2024. Hopefully a couple thematic ideas will happen for the first time too…

Find a fresh line of marathon-inspired shirts here<\/a>, plus all the prior years’ graphics.

Press folks, let’s talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s get to my absolute favorite marathon tradition\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Christmas Stories<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the last 13x years I\u2019ve asked friends, musicians, comedians, fellow DJs and others I admire to record their definition of an original \u201cChristmas story\u201d to be interspersed throughout my marathon, alongside other annual favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pieces then premiere hourly (if not more frequently) thought the marathon. Surprise submissions and pieces by listeners \/ strangers are often the best of the lot. That’s why I’m counting on YOU!

You can listen to past favorites here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The submission deadline for 2024 is Friday, December 20th. Please don\u2019t be late.

Make this the year you record something! I believe in you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Christmas Story<\/a>?<\/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. I leave that in your brilliant hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions can be sent to this 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 loco, just mention the show<\/strong> when you do share on Bandcamp \/ Soundcloud \/ etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wanted some extra direction\u2026pieces inspired by Neil Young<\/strong> could<\/em> potentially put a bow on a thematic set I\u2019ve wanted to try\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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