Echoes was created in 1989 by Kimberly Haas and John Diliberto, a music journalist whose works have appeared in "Billboard", "Pulse", "Jazziz", "Down Beat", "Musician", and "Amazon.com". He has also produced Peabody Award-winning documentaries for National Public Radio's Jazz Profiles. Haas and Diliberto had previously produced the award-winning documentary series "Totally Wired" (1982-1989) which won Columbia University's Major Armstrong Award, the Ohio State Award, and the National Federation of Community Broadcaster's Award.

Both Haas and Diliberto began their careers at WXPN while students at the University of Pennsylvania. Diliberto was Music Director from 1974-1976. Haas was Program Director from 1980 until 1986. Diliberto founded the space music program Star's End in 1976 and it remains on the air to this day.
