Hoist the flag! Year 37 of THE MARATHON will be here soon!
The 2025 edition of Jon Solomon’s 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show on 103.3 fm WPRB rises on Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm ET and unfurls until Christmas Day at 6:00 pm ET.
Following this year’s live epic broadcast (which can run long if we need), for the first time ever a BEST OF THE MARATHON show will air playing greatest hits and your past favorites until 10:00 pm ET on Christmas.
All the best traditions are slated to return in 2025…
That means Snaildartha! Lindstrom’s Little Drummer Boy! Ramones-o-Clock!
We can pull from a pool that includes ever-evolving Xmas segments inspired by The Misfits, New Order / Joy Division, Black Sabbath (RIP Ozzy), The Velvet Underground, Beastie Boys and The Fall!
Joel RL Phelps! Maggie’s Reindeer Rumble too!
The Neil Young set that premiered one year ago too? Maybe!
…plus hours upon hours of new-to-the-marathon material.
On top of everything else, this Christmas Eve expect our first-ever Kraftwerk holiday tribute set! We’ve been planning since last fall.
Expect a new “Christmas Story” to debut in-between every full set. What does that mean? Read on here.
Submissions, requests and pieces to premiere can be sent to this email address, please.
Have a safe holiday season, everybody.
