My own understanding is that at the present time, we could not do it,
because we do not produce a broadcast-quality recorded version of the
show. Hour 25 is live, except for some pre-recorded interviews with
authors who could not possibly do the show live, for whatever reason.
Also, the station actually belongs to a chain of non-profit stations, the
Pacifica group. Each station in the chain is fiercely independent, and
rarely broadcast each other's shows, but my impression is that they don't
want any non-Pacifica stations broadcasting our shows, either...At one
time, an independent version of the show was discussed, but never
materialized.

I don't think there would be much advantage to syndicating it for just the
filk music, except for the occasional live performance...

: originating station/group).  Joe, I think for you (and me), the best bet
: might be WFUV (Fordham University); they have an excellent schedule

: have its URL handy.  Sorry).

: Nick, would this arrangement be possible, if a station were to express
: an interest?
