Also a funny moment was when he was debating asking for Weird Al's "I Love Rocky Road," but was like, "Eh, they'd prefer to play the original." We have a music lover on our hands for sure.

@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. 🤣

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

Truly so good. I think I’m due for a rewatch

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

We’re talking about Daryl Hall and John Oates? Great reason to bring this Halloween photo of my son and me back up. @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

I’ve been a Phantom Planet fan for 20+ years and I adore hearing them on @wxpnfm.bsky.social! I implore people to listen to all of their music because it’s all great, “California” included. Thanks for playing them, @kristenkurtis.bsky.social!

When you listen to @wxpnfm.bsky.social every morning, your 3-year-old knows what we do when we get to the kitchen. Mornings start with @kristenkurtis.bsky.social!

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.

My last messages with him were him saying that I don’t always need to give him credit for the idea every time I get asked about my run. Joke’s on him: I never was going to agree to that and I still don’t.

Rebecca Barber (she/her) @rebthebarber.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

I’m so thankful for the way his article kick-started this amazing event in my life that introduced me to so many people, but he was the first. I’ll miss texting him about it every year. May his memory be a blessing. Sending love this his family and close friends.

As always, I kicked off every run thanking Dan for his crazy idea and for all the people it’s brought together.

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 can’t hear “Danny’s Song” without thinking of it being in Wet Hot American Summer. Am I the only one?! @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

The Format into Bloc Party into Yeah Yeah Yeahs on @wxpnfm.bsky.social. What is this, my high school playlist?! (I am dying, this playlist rules) @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

Rebecca Barber (she/her) @rebthebarber.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Odd sensation to dance with your 3-year-old to songs you adored in high school. Bloc Party is for all!! @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

Daft Punk to Courtney Barnett to Fleetwood Mac is why I love @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Thanks for great tunes, @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

Not much sillier of a song than “(I'm Spending) Hanukkah in Santa Monica” by Tom Leher. Love hearing it on @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Thanks, @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

Love hearing Leon Russell’s “Tightrope” on @wxpnfm.bsky.social. My dad introduced me to this and it’s nice to have a happy memory of him this morning. Missing him around the holidays, so this was a nice memory.

Rebecca Barber (she/her) @rebthebarber.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Man, @wxpnfm.bsky.social is crushing it this afternoon! Some Jukebox the Ghost and a few songs later, White Rabbits. Two under-appreciated bands!

Rebecca Barber (she/her) @rebthebarber.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

It’s like @kristenkurtis.bsky.social knew today is my son’s birthday and he’s a huge Bartees Strange fan. Having a family dance party to “Boomer” now!! @wxpnfm.bsky.social 🥰🥰🥰🥰
