JD McPherson’s Seasonally Sensitive Holiday Extravaganzo

Welcome to JD McPherson’s Seasonally Sensitive Holiday Extravaganzo!

Produced by WPLN sister station, WNXP, this entertaining radio hour is a throwback to the long-form holiday specials of yesteryear. During the show, WNXP’s Jason Moon Wilkins and musician JD McPherson take a deep dive into JD’s modern holiday classic LP ‘Socks,’ as well as his own personal holiday traditions. Sprinkled in are both little-known and off-the-wall Christmas song selections that JD loves. Don’t miss this entertaining hour of holiday magic. We guarantee it is the only special to reference ‘Goodfellas,’ dictatorial crowd control techniques, and Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave” right beside the Andrews Sisters, the Drifters, and Vince Guaraldi.

A WNXP Production produced by Jason Moon Wilkins and Emily Young.
