Well this thread died a death. Let’s give it another try.
I posted about this earlier in the hip hop thread.
KEXP are having a Native Tongues Day today. Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, Monie Love and Black Sheep etc, etc and similar acts that have followed.
It’s pretty special.

Time is Away on NTS. Collage/storytelling…. Always wonderful
Time Is Away and somewhere else every month on NTS. Each hour-long show uses music, alongside snippets of spoken word, to produce something that is part soundscape, part essay for the radio.

Two very different excellent NTS shows. There’s also a very good osees special
Playing Gangsta Rap, Classic Hip Hop, Hip Hop. Hip-hop scholar, esteemed illustrator and all round head Ted Draws holds down a killer 2 hour monthly slot on Tuesday afternoons.
Playing Psychedelic Rock. Gassy’s NTS transmissions are radiophonic arrays of old and new soundwaves, spanning the psychedelic, bass dubs, synth odysseys and rave memories. Simply add a pinch of special herbs and spices and bring to the boil.

Radio X, Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby
Funniest thing about atm
These days Gilles Peterson on bbc6. Funk, soul, r’n’b, jazz, hip hop and everything in between from around the world.
Used to love coming in from a night out and listening to God’s Jukebox with Mark Lamarr on a Friday night on radio 2. It was a mix of soul, blues, rock n roll, reggae, hip hop and whatever oddities he found. Someone compiled a couple of Spotify playlists of all the tracks he played and I stick it on on random every now and then

The only one I really listen to is the Break Fasters breakfast show on Triple-R here in Melbourne.
My actual favourite radio show was this
Home Truths was a weekly BBC Radio 4 programme which began on 11 April 1998 and was usually hosted by the DJ John Peel until his death in October 2004. In the Saturday 9 – 10 am slot, it gradually became one of Radio 4's most successful programmes.
Home Truths was a talk show in which the host would interview ordinary people with an extraordinary story to tell. There was also considerable correspondence with its listeners. Home Truths was based on a previous show called Offspring (which aired ...
even if I was feeling like absolute death from a Friday night out I still set an alarm to listen in if I could.
Posted this in HGWTY 1997 thread earlier this week. It’s fun.
Version Sounds is an interpretation of radio communication,. At its roots, the show credits reggae dub for adding so much to the music we listen to today. From there the branches continue to sprout via a…

Not even sure you can get SiriusXM in the non-American world and I think you need a subscription but…
a guest station has started called… Y’allternative
You’ve guessed right it’s a Alt-Country station
From what I’ve heard it’s pretty decent. No DJ’s which is a good thing. SMX have such shitty DJs.
To give you a flavor of what’s being played: Colton Wall, Brandi Carlile, Neil Young, Orville Peck, The Avett Brothers, Sturgill Simpson, Kacey Musgraves, Tyler Childers, Kurt Vile, War on Drugs, B…
and just to balance it out I’ve been listening to a lot of Rinse.fm recently too.
