"Thank you so much for having me at that amazing event! You don't often get to experience how radio knits us together, and connects us in profound ways, until you experience something like Beggar's Banquet."
- Tom Moon, Music Critic
"I had such a good time! I met so many interesting people and had several it's-such-a-small-world moments. WXPN is so important to the state of radio today and I am glad to be a part of it in any way!"
