"Root Hog Or Die"radio show. March 2006—present. <br /> Producing and hosting weekly (from March 2006 to January 2012) internet <br /> radio show of traditional and folk music from around America and the world, <br /> largely for NYC's East Village Radio. Compiling often-thematic programs <br /> focusing on regional genres, performers, ethnicities, and frequently devising <br /> "soundtracks" to current political events or dates of historical significance, <br /> informed by the belief that music—especially folk music— is far from a purely <br /> aesthetic phenomenon. No longer a weekly program for EVR, it's now compiled <br /> occasionally for online streaming through my blog, roothogordie.wordpress.com. <br /> "Goodbye Dear Old Stepstone"radio show, WPS1.org, New York, NY.
