I'm sure there are probably lots out there in the cloud, but I like to listen at my leisure, during my commute to work on the train etc. There is a newsgroup called alt.binaries.sounds.78rpm-era and a couple of kind souls record and post a couple of weekly shows - one from WAMU - Hot Jazz Saturday Night, and the other from WFUV - The Big Broadcast (which imho is the best of the lot). I download them and put them on my Sandisk player. Rich Conaty's theme song (Big Broadcast) is Fats Waller's You Meet The Nicest People In Your Dreams. If you like boogie, you like Fats.
