Reading this thread has been a salivating experience.  This kind of radio
programming is non-existent in the U.S.  Perhaps improvements in Internet
bandwidth and faster modems will make it possible for ordinary stiffs (as
opposed to companies with T1 lines) to tune in and record (for personal use
only, of course; and necessary given the time differences between the US
and the UK) some of this material.

My wife and I have been enjoying a tape of an evening of tribute to the
late Sir Isaiah Berlin, which a friend sent.  Two and a half hours of talk
and music at the highest intellectual level, with one of the great minds of
the century.  As Wallace Shawn memorably said in "The Princess Bride:"
In-con-thievable!  For it is Hip-Hop that makes the cover of TIME!
