Man, I love me some Tuba Skinny. Bit late here in Europe though.... stream was a bit choppy when I linked there.
-
Yeah, facebook streams started being choppy a few months into the initial covid lockup. Used to be that the replay wasn't. I haven't yet tried to download this one to check if it's a connection issue or something else.
But at least there is a replay feature, which means we can watch these at a more humane hour. WWOZ is one of the few radio stations I still listen to.

OZ was the only station I listened to when I lived in NOLA (2000-2005). I miss it.
Tuba Skinny is a lot of fun.
Hard to listen to that music and not smile.

I play their streaming broadcast here in France!
The other station I listen to is "Blues & Roots Radio", which has a very nice global concept with hosts from multiple countries across the globe (including Italy) playing their national "roots" music.
(Only gripe I have with modern radio shows is that they no longer give song info before and after playing each song, and their online playlists are often out of sync and/or incomplete. Or just useless, if you know none of the songs...)
EDIT: you're right about the smile factor. There's other music that works even better for me, Plume Latraverse for instance (but you probably have to understand French)

I also like WWNO's livestream. I've been listening to New Orleans radio stations since the early 60s, when only AM existed. Had to listen at night, when the troposphere dropped to a level that reflected AM stations to our area. But we had to try to get through the 100,000 watt stations just across the Rio Grande, which covered up any stations close to their frequencies. WWL was the best, and the most reliable. I have no idea what's on the AM spectrum these days, other than right-wing talk (rant) radio.

Downloaded it last night (they're making this more and more complicated...). The hickups are probably in the original (and in part due to errors in the file), quite possibly as a result of something in their set-up.

I bought a supposedly top-of-the-line Sony receiver for that not long after moving to Paris in the late 90s, to be able to listen to Dutch broadcasts. Never managed to capture anything intelligible using the builtin antenna in my 1st-floor appartment. Probably not unsurprisingly but not what the marketing material suggested ...

A standard AM station can be received up to a hundred or more miles away almost any time. Long range reception, however, is usually only possible at night. The optimal distance changes from time to time, depending on the level of the troposphere and on sunspot activity. When I was an Army signal officer way back when, we used both AM radio and tropo-scatter equipment, which used high-powered transmitters to 'scatter' the signal off the troposphere and provide more or less reliable communications 24 hours/day, and we received forecasts from specialists with the predicted best frequencies for the distance and times we were operating. We changed frequencies as necessary. As a civilian listener, the only possibility is to try and see if you can receive a signal. I remember back in the 60s trying to listen to baseball games. KMOX in St Louis and KWKH in Shreveport both broadcast St Louis Cardinal games, but KWKH delayed the broadcast. Their frequencies were very close. As the atmosphere changed, KMOX would fade out and KWKH would fade in, and I lost parts of the game, often at crucial moments in the game, and was often very frustrated.
