KPFA also celebrates Josh Elwood who has been working at KPFA for 30 years. He started as a volunteer when he was 25. He was first introduced to KPFA when his father, Phil Elwood, would bring him to the station to help carry records he’d play for his jazz program on Sunday mornings, “Jazz Archives with Phil Elwood.” Josh is very special to the KPFA family.
