We did it live! Yes, we recorded this year's Herndon Playlist live on Falcon Radio from the campus of Bowling Green State University. So it's a little rough in spots but still a lot of fun. I wrote a blog post about some of the reasons why I chose the songs - read it here. Includes music by Chloe & The Silver Strings, Freight Street, Superchunk, Superchick, Relient K, World Party, Poi Dog Pondering, and Calibretto 13. #PlebesNoMore

Every person we've talked to has had a unique perspective on the Herndon Climb. This year we go in a different direction as Chester Midshipmouse takes us through the Plebe Year experience thanks to author Susan Weisberg. From the demands of Plebe Summer, the grind of the academic year, and the thrill of Herndon, Chester shares all the emotions of Plebe Year at the Naval Academy, but also reminds us that there is life after Herndon. Featured music by Switchfoot, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Skillet, Imagine Dragons, Relient K, Fireflight, Superchick, Todd Rundgren, The Benjamin Gate, ELO, and The Beatles. 

Join me as we put together a playlist for the families of the USAFA Class of 2025, who are about to embark on their Academy journey. Featuring Superchic(k), Concrete Blonde, Pink Floyd, Twenty-One Pilots, and Jars of Clay. 

Join me, fellow Mid Parent Ann Shyne, and the original My Kid The Mid (now ensign) Noah Smith as we create a playlist to mark the return of the "real" Herndon Climb, a sign that life at the United States Naval Academy is climbing back to normal. Featuring a shout out to Kristin Cronic, the artist behind Easel on Stribling, as well as music by Twenty-One Pilots, Shout Out Louds, Micah Tyler, Five Iron Frenzy, Relient K, Holding Absence, Fireflight, and more.
