The FishTaxi LOVES Whole Wheat Radio

From their webpage at www.wholewheatradio.org :
Hi!

We're real people. We have an outhouse out back. We don't have a professionally polished webpage, flashy banner ads, overblown self-promotion and lots of glitz. If you came here because you're tired of other webcast's hype and just want to connect with down-to-earth people and great music --- stick around.

We're simple, silly folks with a love of independent music. Consider us a little backwoods cabin (literally) with a bunch of beat up cars parked around the campfire where great music is being played. You'll see a few people dancing, a group over there discussing philosophy, and a romantic couple cuddling under a red blanket with a bottle of wine. Wear your comfortable jeans and the tee-shirt with a rip under the arm. You'll fit right in.

Whole Wheat Radio is an unpretentious, interactive, independent music world community. Our webcast originates from a cramped 12x12 cabin in Talkeetna, Alaska. It's as close to Northern Exposure's funky radio station as you can get. (Yup, there's a moose that hangs around the cabin. And an adorable monkey too.) We broadcast 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year with the help of our tireless DJs - human and otherwise. We've been on-the-air since August of 2002 and have served up well over a million individual 'listens' to independent musicians' tunes.

You can spend as much or as little time poking around the site as you like. You'll discover there is no other webcast quite like Whole Wheat Radio. We play indie music that adults like --- singer-songwriters, folk, blues, jazz, Celtic, world, protest, acoustic and folk-rock music. We're tied into the blogging community and frequently reach out to blogs for things to discuss on-air. We have an irreverent sense of humor and strongly left-leaning political views. We're not 'professional' broadcasters. We frequently get silly and very un-adult-like on-the-air. We call it 'fun'.

We're not a 'canned' station - nor are we always 'live' at the microphones. There's an element of surprise and spontaneity to our live banter. Check the weekly schedule to see when we're guaranteed to be live. 11AM every weekday (Alaska time, 3PM EST) is when we do the infamous and theatrical 'Rant-n-Raving Muffin News'. Jim goes Surfin' On CDBaby every Wednesday at 3PM (7PM EST) and Esther dishes out her Whole Wheat Porridge on Thursdays at 3PM (7PM EST). Live interviews and other special events occur frequently.

Some people like to participate in the chat, set up 'personalities' and spend hundreds of hours in the community. Other people just want to listen to great independent music and real-people DJs having fun on-the-air.

The choice is yours.

If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed with all the options, all the 'techie stuff' on the community webpages, please don't hesitate to become one of the strong, silent supporters who simply LISTEN. We understand.

Warmly,

Jim & Esther
