The Nights Before Christmas

@nightsbeforexmas

Since 2011 at 89.1 WBOI, Rob Martinez (producer/host) has been producing holiday specials featuring Christmas music that's overlooked, underplayed, and forgotten. Holiday music and stories you won't hear anywhere else on the dial.

We want to thank all of you for listening tonight. And for the past fifteen years.

It was my dream as a teenager to have a show like this. Every December, I get to relive that dream over and over. May the dream never end.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone listening, everywhere.
