Stan Whippo passed away October 14, 2021.
Stan hosted the live, four-hour classical music show Matinee every weekday on Classical 94.1 WBNI, for more than twenty years, before retiring in the fall of 2018.
As part of her Behind The Mic series, WBOI's Julia Meek had an opportunity to talk with him about what classical music meant to him, and how it drove his passion for public radio.
Today we revisit that conversation, and on behalf of all the staff, volunteers, and listeners in our community, we remember Stan Whippo for sharing his music, humor, and friendship with us over the airwaves these many years.
89.1 WBOI will share a community remembrance of Stan Whippo the week of Thanksgiving.
