Do you have any favourite radio shows you listen to?
Especially ones that are conversational, like discussion of topics and entertainment.

I listen to "La venganza será terrible", with Alejandro Dolina, which is a mixture of culture, music and comedy. It helps me a lot by keeping me company at work, making me laugh and I learn many things, too.

Any suggestions for listening to online shows?

Thanks

Vermont Public Radio has the comedian from Milwaukee who does the dry comedy skits to music... very funny cannot remember the old guys name.

I listen to NPR. On it, my favorite shows are " A Prairie Home Companion" with the comedian and host Garrison Keillor, and "Car Talk" with cohosts (and brothers) Click and Clack.

"A Prairie Home Companion" is essentially a mix of original music, spoofs of old time radios shows, and a segment called "News from Lake Wobegon, MN (pronounced woe-be-gone)". Of course, since Lake Wobegon is a fictional town, the news is fictional as well. I find this segment to be particularly humorous as I lived in a small town in Minnesota not unlike what Lake Wobegon was made out to resemble. Apparently, the host, Keillor, based the fictional town on his own real life hometown in Minnesota, so yeah, it's very well done.

"Car Talk" is, or was I should say, a show hosted by a pair of brothers, Click and Clack, who took calls from all over the country regarding car problems. They would use light hearted humor and witty banter as they attempted to find solutions to the problems. However, since the show's hosts retired, they just air the old prerecorded shows and simply call the resulting broadcast, "The Best of Car Talk". It's always good to listen to for a good laugh or three.

Yeah, coming from the guy that loves Rammstein, Rob Zombie and Pantera.

I'm quite interested to look up on the internet some of the programs named above. I too quite enjoy informative radio. I also like comedy. I admit I don't listen to top 40 radio.

One of my favourite programs (available on CBC) is "Vinyl Tap" which is a show hosted by Randy Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive and The Guess Who fame). He talks about music. With a theme for the evening he picks oldies and modern music. He spends a lot of time discussing the history and background to the artists and music he is playing.

I stumbled upon "Acoustic Sunrise" on a local radio station but it's also on the web and many other stations around the county. Here it's on Saturday mornings, acoustic versions of popular songs, a very nice change of pace.
