Founded in 1940, WPRB is the oldest college FM radio station in the U.S.; it is a non-profit, independent organization operated by a staff of nearly 100 volunteer students and community members. WPRB can be heard on the airwaves throughout New Jersey and most of the Philadelphia metropolitan area by tuning into 103.3 FM or anywhere in the world via streaming audio at wprb.com or on iTunes radio.
Products:
Pop Recon is a monthly arts & culture series on WPRB. Pop Recon features new, on-the-scene interviews with musicians, writers, and more, and mixes them up with rare interviews unearthed from the station's vault. Like the title suggests, Pop Recon seeks to take an in-depth look at the world of popular music.

Pop Recon is produced and hosted by WPRB's Maria T (from the radio program Her Jazz), and is broadcast on WPRB the last Friday of the month at 7:00 p.m. ET. In addition to the broadcast, Pop Recon's archive will be available for download via podcast. Pop Recon is WPRB's first foray into the world of podcasting.

Hello fans of Pop Recon! I know some of you have asked about when the podcast archive is going up, and that should be happening quite soon. We will let you know when it goes "live" (ah, biz-speak) ASAP, of course.
