Alth...World Cafe is an excellent show, to be sure. Although I've always wondered if the name of the show and the theme music works against them because it, well, sounds like it's a "world music" show. That can, and does, turn off a lot of people who won't stick around and realize it's an AAA show.<br /><br />American Routes is another show that anyone worth their salt will carry. It's EXCELLENT. I just wish it could be on five days a week. :)<br /><br />Worth noting, there's a surprising number of really good AAA (or AAA-complimentary) shows out there, mostly on PRX, that aren't necessarily getting a lot of carriage but arguably they should. In a bit of shameless quasi-self promotion, I'm thinking of "Stuck in the Psychedelic Era" which pairs incredibly well with The Grateful Dead Hour. But cruise around PRX a bit and you'll find some more good ones, too.Aaron Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971835990882097517noreply@blogger.com
