Saturday will be Music City’s first official Bettie Page Day. In this episode, we’re talking all about the native Nashvillian turned “Queen of Pinups” with her friends, family, and fans. 

Saturday is also Record Store Day. WNXP DJ Celia Gregory stops by Studio A with a rundown of local events and the limited edition vinyl that's available this year. 

This episode was produced by Rose Gilbert.
