WFMU (a radio station in New Jersey) has a weekly show on one of its web streams. It's called Continental Subway, presented by an American called David Dichelle, who lives in Germany.

He plays all kinds of music in many different languages, as well as different versions of folk songs in English - he's working through the Roud Folksong Index and has reached Roud 350, The Topman and the Afterguard / The Sailor and the Soldier. However, most of what he plays isn't in English and as well as music from many different countries each week he will play 8 or 10 songs from a particular country chosen at random. This week it was Chad.

Very highly recommended, not least because all the shows back to 2017 are archived, so you can listen again when you want, and it's listener supported so there are no adverts. Links to all the shows and playlists here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/CW

WFMU is a great radio station, anyone can listen to online, for free, without ads. There are so many great shows, something for everyone.

Their schedule:

Hey thanks for this rec, I love 7 second delay and HTRG already (and The Blues x3 when I can catch it but there's no RSS feed I can find), WFMU rules I'll def check this out.

Excellent, you already know about WFMU! I need to listen to more shows - mostly I just stick to This is the Modern World and sometimes Clay Pigeon on the main broadcast channel, plus Irene Trudel and Continental Subway on the Drummer stream, but there's so much more on there it makes my head spin.
