Our final "Song of the Day"
Before introducing you to 2024's most downloaded Song of the Day, Janice Headley and Isabel Khalili share an exciting update about what's to come on this feed on Monday, April 15.
Song of the Day has brought listeners full song downloads every weekday for nearly 20 years – that's close to 5,000 songs! We appreciate you being along for the ride, and we hope you'll stick with us as we evolve the series to bring you more of what KEXP does best: music discovery with a human touch.
Next week, this feed will become "In Our Headphones." Like Song of the Day, you'll still be getting 5 new songs each week, but now you'll hear about them straight from KEXP DJs. Stay tuned for our first episode featuring Cheryl Waters.

Customer Reviews
You are amazing 🤩
Love these so much #1 podcast rn😆💙👌🏼
Fav one is “𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐭?“🫶🏼
Not liking the new format
Not really digging the new format. I really hate just hearing snippets of the songs instead of a full song every day. That was kind of the point of listening to this. I can just listen to the many NPR podcasts that I already do for this kind of thing and they will play full songs.
Full Songs Please
I typically love all things KEXP (especially the music obviously)... While the idea for the change from song of the day to "In Our Headphones" seems like it could be interesting, my immediate reaction after hearing the first episode is I would really like to hear the full versions of the songs instead of short previews. As of episode 1, this podcast primarily features discussions about what the KEXP crew is listening to with short clips of each song that fade in and out. Let's hear those full songs please!
