I’ll admit it: I hate classic rock radio because I’ve heard everything they play a zillion times.

I miss old school radio where DJs would delve into a radio station’s record archives and play great sounding but obscure tracks.

Locally, I’ve found a show, All Your Old Records on KPFA that does just that. Every Wednesday from 10pm - 12am PST, but also available for web streaming. Note: It’s a public radio station in the US, so they beg for donations to the station in the middle of the show. Note 2: The playlists for each show on the website are NOT accurate at all.

Does anyone have any recommendations for stations, shows or podcasts?

    I’ve got loads more. I listen to them on podcast. Addict or antenna pod or directly from the websites in the browser. I don’t know how to embed the links and make them go green like you guys have been doing.

      Noice! Thanks, I’ll be checking those out for sure!

      Re: “Making them go green” When writing a comment, highlight the text you want to make into a link, then click the icon that looks like a chain.

      On the web interface it’s on top of the comment text, 3rd from the right, and looks like a chain “link” (get it?).

      Apps should have a similar “chain link” icon above or below the comment text.

      You should see something that looks like this:

      [Turn this text into a link to a web page]()

      Then, you paste the web page URL in between the parentheses, like so:

      [Turn this text into a link to a web page](http://www.thisisawebpage.com)

      This results in green text that’s also a link to a web page, like so:

      Turn this text into a link to a web page

      Alternatively, you can just type the square brackets [] and parentheses () manually

      But just pasting the URL after text like you did works fine. It’s less work, and is often more clear. It’s just a style preference.

      p.s. missing links to some shows in your post

      It’s All About Punk Show from Hamburg by DJ Iggy Punx https://www.mixcloud.com/itsallaboutpunkshow/stream/

      Henry Rollins on KCRW (Santa Monica, CA) https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins Just a quick listen, and his playlist is legit! Thanks!

      p.s.s We used to have Greg Kihn as a local morning show DJ on KUFX but he just played standard overplayed classic rock IIRC.
