With each succeeding broadcast Star's End releases extraordinary new energies over the airwaves. Marking its 50th Anniversary at WXPN in Philadelphia, the five decade drift of imagination, its passionate exploration of innovative music and vivid manipulation of time and space have elevated this radio program to a great height.
Every weekend from 1:00am to 6:00am Saturday Nights/Sunday Mornings Star's End works to renew the potential of Public Radio. As we are carried through new regions of music and thought each radio-lit evening provides the audience with an aural experience meant to expand horizons and enrich the human spirit. From the bright and teeming to the dark then probing, the unique mix of musical realizations ascends along enlivening lines of beauty.
Across its 50 year run Star's End has preserved a space for us to center and contemplate. Even in the midst of tremendous distractions, we listen past all the noise - to simply spend some time with ones' own self.
Now is the moment to show that you support this broadcasting endeavor, and validate the extraordinary 50 year run of Star's End on WXPN. In Winter 2026 the understanding few will again play their part in the Public Radio enterprise - as you consider what this remarkable venture is worth, and then come through with a donation to help it continue.
Giving to Public Radio continues to be a significant gesture. During the broadcast of 22 February 2026 host Chuck van Zyl will spend the entire night live on-air in a fundraising effort. To you listeners who stay up, tune in, and make a donation, please know that your generosity is truly meaningful and appreciated! Thank You!
