Vinylthon Episode!

What is Vinylthon?Vinylthon is an annual event for radio stations across the USA and the world who want to celebrate the format of vinyl music by playing at least one hour of vinyl-only music on the two days (April 12 & 13, 2025). Many radio stations do more than one hour (some do up to 24 or 48!) but it's a fun day for both listeners and broadcasters alike. The event is a success because many people are still passionate about vinyl and broadcasting radio shows from only vinyl is an amazing experience for many of today's radio broadcasters. The event is also a fundraiser for our Vinylthon Scholarships, awarded by the College Radio Foundation, a non-profit organization that organizes the Vinylthon event and gives scholarships to college students who want to work in radio. Vinylthon 2025 will be the tenth Vinylthon event.​I am lucky enough that the station that I volunteer at 98.7 WVMO is an active participant and curated 48 hours of vinyl that weekend.Here’s what I playedJohnny Cash - Wanted Man - Live at San QuentinJohnny Cash - Wreck of the Old 97 - Live at San QuentinDave Kirby- The HoboGeorge Morgan- The Sounds of GoodbyeTommy Collins - You’d Better Not Do ThatMelba Montgomery - Big Big HeartachesCarl Smith - The Tall, Tall GentlemanConway Twitty - It’s Only Make BelieveLynn Anderson - Stay There Till I Get ThereEddy Bailes - OhioConnie Smith - Cincinnati OhioEd Bruce - Walker’s WoodsAudrey Williams - Tornado of LoveErnest Tubb and Loretta Lynn - Love Was Right Here All The TimeRose Maddox - Kissing My PillowWaylon and Jessi Suspicious Minds This is a public episode.
