A map of colonial era new jersey was uncovered today with a mysterious path traced across it. Funny how it goes directly in the bounds of New Jersey’s Independence Era Radio Station, WPRB. Could it be… it couldn’t be… the fabled Golden Record Hunt?
Legend has it if you follow the clues given by WPRB elders, passed down from generation to generation, you may uncover the golden record and receive fame and glory.
Legend also has it the golden record hunt is happening 5-8pm on 103.3FM 👀

Exciting news everyone! WPRB 103.3 FM is having its fall “quiet drive” — that time of year when we ask you all for your support for freeform radio, but not as loudly as we do in the spring! If you love the music we play, now is a great time to head over to pledge.wprb.com to help keep good sounds, free of all corporatism and corruption, blasting over the airwaves!

In honor of the drive, tomorrow from 10am to noon I’m doing a two hour deep dive on one of the legends of the blues — Muddy Waters. We’ll explore some of his best known recordings, as well as his delta roots and some little known gems from his late career. You won’t want to miss it! Only on WPRB 103.3 FM.

Both shows are at 7:30PM! We'll be there both BEFORE and AFTER the show :)

We'll be 1) There, in person, with a banner. 2) Selling old MERCH - t-shirts, the famous NJ cult convenience store hat (ahem), stickers, pins, and more!

Come say hi, buy some merch (cash only pls), and watch big suit man movie!
