Pierre Teaches Sara How to Play a Vinyl Record
It’s a Vinylly Summer weekend! WMMR Philadelphia will warm up the studio turntable and track album sides on vinyl from the best for 3 days straight. Every hour, we’ll play one full side of a legendary rock and roll record. Pierre Robert got the ball rolling on his show today (5/24), and our weekend warriors will continue the music through the holiday weekend.
One of those weekend warriors is Radio Sara who, despite being a massive music head, learned how to track these records a little later in life.
As fate would have it, it was 10 years ago to the day that we hosted our first “Vinylly Summer” weekend on this station. At the time, Sara needed a lesson in physical media, and who better to teach her than the Lord of the LP, Pierre?!
Of course, this lesson was demonstrated live on the air. Sara had her homework assigned to her by Professor Pierre, and she studied hard. But nothing could prepare her for what happened next…

A decade later, Sara is much more prepared to cue up the album sides for you to enjoy, along with the rest of our DJs. BONUS: all throughout the weekend, you can enter for a chance to win the Rolling Stones’ latest album Hackney Diamonds on 180-gram vinyl AND a pair of tickets to see the Stones on June 11th at Lincoln Financial Field! Click HERE to enter (deadline Mon 5/27/24 at 11:59pm. One entry per person PER DAY).
To listen all weekend wherever you are – city, shore or mountains – ask your smart speaker to “Open MMR” this Memorial Day Weekend, or fire up the free MMR App.
