What is a WHRB Orgy®?
Legend has it that the WHRB Orgy® tradition began over sixty-five years ago, in the Spring of 1943. At that time, it is said that one Harvard student, then a staff member of WHRB, returned to the station after a particularly difficult exam and played all of Beethoven's nine symphonies consecutively to celebrate the end of a long, hard term of studying. The idea caught on, and soon the orgy concept was expanded to include live jazz, rock, hip-hop, blues, and even sports Orgies.
The Orgy® tradition lives on even today at WHRB. During the Reading and Exam Periods of Harvard College, WHRB presents marathon-style musical programs devoted to a single composer, performer, genre, or subject. The New York Times calls them “idealistic and interesting,” adding, “the WHRB Orgies represent a triumph of musical research, imagination, and passion.”

Winter is a Fine Time for an Orgy

Let the WHRB 95.3FM orgies begin!

In light of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), I do not see how Harvard can get away with this, but they do, every reading period. Maybe because they are Harvard.
