@kristenkurtis.bsky.social can I make a request for the 7 AM hour on Thursday? My son Theo will turn 7 and he loves listening to WXPN with us in the morning. Can he hear “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” by Joan Jett? He loves that song.

My 6-year-old has begun enjoying listening to “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” with me. I got to share that @petersagal.bsky.social wrote an article about my Rocky 50k and his mind was blown. He now gets upset when I don’t clap loudly for Peter every time the show comes back from commercial. 🤣

I love disco for a lot of reasons, but one really stupid reason is the use of whistles. @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case
Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

When I was a kid, my dad used to quote "You Can't Always Get What You Want," but I hadn't heard the song before. I thought he was just so smart for the phrase. When I finally heard the song, I laughed that he was just quoting Mick Jagger the whole time. @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

In our WXPN discord, I noted the movie and then @kristenkurtis.bsky.social talked about it!! It’s such an under appreciated movie.

As @jenniferkates.bsky.social reminds me, it was Dan McQuade who was at Hannibal Burress's October 2014 show at the Troc when he said “You rape women, Bill Cosby,” happened to be recording it, made it go viral, and from then on no one ever could forget or deny who Bill Cosby was.

Hannibal Buress on Bill Cosby: 'You're a Rapist'
Comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist in a bit at the Trocadero on Thursday night. Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

I first discovered @dhm.bsky.social’s writing when his article about Rocky’s running route when viral in 2013. I emailed him the day the article came out to get his permission to turn it into a real run. The past December, the 13th Annual Rocky 50k was run.

I saw Billy Idol at a festival my senior year of high school. When the crowd was pushing a lot, he stopped the song, asked everyone to take a step back, and said “I’m Billy Fucking Idol and no one gets hurt at my show.” A true king. @wxpnfm.bsky.social
