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.
I listen to Stuart every Sunday if possible. Also have some of the Vinyl Cafe CD's in the van. Not sure if the Americano's will get half the stuff but funny just the same !
