Summary

In a massive marathon event, WXPN radio in Philadelphia played over 5,000 songs from their library in alphabetical order. The marathon started on November 30 and continued 24/7 until mid-day on December 17, 2016. To learn more, check out their website: xpn.org (on twitter @wxpnfm, #XPNAtoZ).

During the marathon, I developed code to download and analyze the playlist and managed an online visualization of the data using Tableau.
