But you can still hop on our waitlist. Just fill out the form below.

NPR’s All Songs Considered began in 2000, long before on-demand streaming began to reshape the way people hear music. Sixteen years later, the show is still kicking — even thriving, having become one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes.

To recognize 16 successful years of music discovery, All Songs Considered hosts Robin Hilton and Bob Boilen are throwing a Sweet 16 party at D.C.’s 9:30 Club Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. Pop experimentalist Dan Deacon co-headlines the bash alongside singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, with more special guests to be announced. No surprise, tickets have already sold out.

Lucky for you, WAMU’s Bandwidth.fm is giving away free tickets to the show. Want in? It’s easy. Just be one of the first to fill out this form below, and we’ll add you to our guest list. But act quickly! These spots will move fast.

Nas before Illmatic. A young Jay Z and Notorious B.I.G. Members of the Wu-Tang Clan, long before they topped the charts with Wu-Tang Forever. Those are just some of the would-be legends that appeared on The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show on WKCR in New York City.

From 1990 to 1998, the late-night radio program led by DJs Stretch Armstrong (Adrian Bartos) and Bobbito (Robert Garcia) captured some of the most golden moments in hip-hop’s golden era. Fans of the music look back on it as the most important hip-hop show of its day.

At 7 p.m. on Nov. 10, NPR is showing a new documentary about the storied show, called Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives. WAMU 88.5 is giving away about two dozen tickets to the event, and we’d love you to score a pair.

So… you want these tickets? Follow these simple instructions: Before noon on Friday, Nov. 6, send an email to bandwidth@wamu.org with the subject line “Stretch and Bobbito.” Include your full name and the name of your (one) guest, if applicable. If you’re among the first 20ish people to email us, you win.

NPR is located at 1111 North Capitol St. NE in D.C.
