You know, the guy from A CHRISTMAS STORY

Jean Shepherd (Ralphie in 'A Christmas Story', not the actor but the person of which the movie was based - and also the narrator) had a popular radio show on WOR in New York city in the 60's and if one searches hard enough many of these shows still exist in mp3 format.

WFMU - why can't WE have a public radio station like this one?

WFMU is a public radio station in New York. But they aren't like most public radio stations, at least not like most that I have heard. I like NPR and classical music but I also like some variety, and variety is what WFMU can offer. Tune in live or pick some podcasts to listen to on your MP3 player.

Some recommended podcasts:

Thomas Edison's Attic - old Edison cylinders (by old I mean sometimes late 1800's!)
Coffee 2 Go With Noah - underground hip-hop
Phuj Factory - Weird and ecclectic mix every week
