The other option would be to lobby a local public or college radio
station to carry the show (if it were made available on tape by the
originating station/group).  Joe, I think for you (and me), the best bet
might be WFUV (Fordham University); they have an excellent schedule
(including, for the benefit of non-NYC area people, a Sunday morning
show hosted by Christine Lavin; songlists are available at the Web page
-- look it up via your friendly neighborhood search engine, as I don;t
have its URL handy.  Sorry).

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