What are your favorite radio shows? I'm trying to find good ones to listen to. I thought David Johansen played great stuff but he's on Sirius, same with Dylan. Any favorite DJs? Could be a classic radio show or something that's on now.

I am also a fan of Brian O'Donovan's Celtic Sojourn on WGBH Boston, Saturdays 3-6 PM.

In addition, I like Tim Larkin's Celtic Stew on WUMD (UMass-Dartmouth), Sundays 1-3 PM.

And I listen regularly to the programs below.
Weeknights on WRIU (University of RI) from 6-9 PM, the lineup is
Monday: : Traditions with Chuck Wentworth
Tuesday: Kingston Coffeehouse with Jane Falvey
Wednesday: The Celtic Realm with Laura Travis
Thursday: The Boudin Barndance with Dan Ferguson
Friday: The Bluegrass Breakdown with Mike Fischman
I am pleased to add that Jane Falvey, who hosts Tuesdays broadcasts, is a personal friend and has been actively involved with Stone Soup Coffeehouse for many years.

Odd that this thread should come up. Coincidence? >;-)

I had intended that I would post to the Brubeck thread tonight because CBC reaired an interview with him today on Sunday dition and I can access it on the CBC website. My intention was to ask if other's, Yanks, Brits, could get it in their country.

My CBC fav is The Vinyl Café. Then ya got This Is That, The Debators, Laugh Out Loud, and The Irrelevant Show... all comedys. The last one is not in season but it's great!

Beer... you catch The Vinyl Café this week? I recorded the Brubeck interview and The Vinyl Café today and have it on a wmv file. I don't believe I would be violating cw by sending this file to anyone who wants it for the simple reason that I would only ever do it once and it might promote CBC radio wherever it goes. And, like I said, at least in Canuckistan, one can access the Brubeck interview by internut. Anybody who wants it can have it.

Oh, yeah, as far as cw, I suppose I own it because I pay their salaries. >;-)

I usually listen to the Vinyl café but today my grand son was playing hockey so I missed it.
I spoke to the producers about 4 months ago in having the show come to Ormstown because we are celebrating the war of 1812 next summer (the battle which was fought on the grounds where I live took place 1813.). Anyway, they are solidly booked for the next two years and not taking anything else on for a while.

well, this may not be objective, but my favorite show is the one I do! Favorite because i enjoy researching the tunes and songs and bands, and I choose a theme and dedicate 2 hours of music to it...and this is unique as far as i can tell. the last 2 shows are available to listen to on our radio's website www.orovilleradio.org. october's was on apples and ghosts, and november's featured songs about food and drink for thanksgiving. I will be doing another show on Dec. 22 with a Christmas theme. The Crossroads show has been on the air for nearly a decade.

I also have enjoyed listeneing to teh Good Old Fashioned Folk Music show on KCHO, but, alas it no longer is on. The other show I like is American Pastimes on KZFR. All of the Programmers from all 3 shows are board members of the Butte Folk Music Society.

my show airs on the 4th saturday from 1-3 pm paciic time.

One of my favourites too, Dave. Mornington Crescent! Ha! It took me a while (I'm so dim) to work out that one.

I have just been listening to K-LEE, and while I hear some nice stuff, I do feel that they emphasize 'fusion' music... doing traditional songs with bouncy, fast tunes...often with drums and electric effects.


Right now I am hearing "Athen Rye" (tsk)...doing -Paddy Lay Back faster than any chanty crew would ever try! (and playing fast & loose with the melody.)

A little while ago, I heard Beth Patterson singing.... and it was ½ way thru before I realized she was singing "Ye Jacobites By Name".

Yes... I know that young "carriers of the tradition" tend to carry it in odd bags. Some have told me that their peers get bored with those old 'trad' versions. I can only shrug.

My favourite all time was on Radio London around christmas/new year 1979/1980, and it was called something like 10 out of 10.

The programme played 10 songs/tunes from each year of the decade - one of the song choices was Rising for the Moon, and that turned me on to folk music.
