I don't know if anyone is interested, or who receives radio programs via
www, but there is a program that comes out of Canada which is anecdotal,
humorous and represents the best of Canadian folklore and story-telling I've
heard in years.

I receive Stuart McLean's "The Vinyl Cafe" at
www.northcountrypublicradio.org.  On radio receivers, the station broadcasts
from more than a dozen transmitter sites and repeaters throughout the
Northeastern New York State, and along the Canadian border.  The frequency I
use to listen is 88.3 kHz.  The program "airs" weekly at 1:00 PM (EST)
Wednesdays.  Similar to Garrison Keiller, but more colloquial and the guy
highlights local musicians.  I picked up his last year's Christmas pack (2
CDs) and continue to chuckle at the tales spun using local color from
throughout the Dominion of Canada. It makes for great
down-the-road-around-the-campfire listening.
