Thanks for the good words everyone. The shows continue all week online and on the app, just search “XMU”. We’ll be back on ch. 35 after the Beastie Boys one-week limited run wraps later next week, that’s my understanding 😘 👋

An entire week?!?! Why not Lithium??? XMU is the only station I listen to. I can’t tolerate 36 with Madison talking about anything but music...(her maladies and pooping....it’s not funny). Josiah is my favorite. Please stop messing up the only music that’s worth my time!!!
