Episode 217 - It's What You Do, It's Not What You Are
4:00pm, 12-29-2025
<< Mating Calls
Though it may be the dead of winter, our love for XRAY never goes out of season and today on Mating Calls, M2S and The Jerk are FINALLY reunited in Studio B to bring you the best of what they heard this year on XRAY 🔥🔥🔥
Our Love Letter episode is usually something we do for the fund drives, but since those episodes were taken by other themes this year, we thought we'd say goodbye to 2025 with an homage to our very favorite little radio station. Tracks discovered and rediscovered from shows on every day of the week, including Head East, Stained Glass Rainforest, Music Medieval, Hipsters Suck, Meaningful Connections, Beautiful Music, Music for Neighbors, Savage Beat, and more!
