I don't listen to much radio anymore. At least not with a physical, traditional AM/FM receiver. There are radio programs I listen to online that I used to tune in on a radio. They are much easier to record this way and sound better. I don't have to worry about a cassette not being long enough to record a longer show.
One of the programs that I still enjoy listening to is "The Folk Festival" found on WDCB 90.9 FM public radio from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn IL. The show is live on Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm.
I've been listening to the show since the days George Brown used to host it. He passed away suddenly and then Lily Kuzma took over as host. The show is basically 2 hours of mostly Contemporary Folk/Americana music with occasional tinges of international folk and studio guests who give interviews and perform live versions of their songs.
I have not listened to the show for a while now due to the music selection being less interesting than in the past and the imbalance of talk vs. music when the guests come on. But I do have plenty of shows that I recorded over the years and will be providing links to those programs here on this blog.
I don't have much information on the shows other than the dates they were first broadcast. If you want to know the names of particular songs or artists you will probably find them mentioned at some point in the program.
Stayed tuned for links to the shows!
