This Is Nashville

Busting the algorithm with WNXP

Listen Later

WNXP is the music discovery go-to in Nashville.

On 91.1, listeners get exposed to all kinds of songs not in their regular feed. But it doesn't stop there. They do more than tune in. Listeners play an active role in how playlists are curated, making the station an interactive, communal space for sonic lovers. In this episode, folks who have been with the station since the beginning share their strategies on how they bring their own knowledge base to the work and bust the online algorithms to bring you just the right song.

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. 

Guests 

  • Celia Gregory, WNXP Morning Host
  • Marquis Munson, WNXP Music Director
  • Jason Moon Wilkins, WNXP Program Director
