    Are you planning on broadcasting The Opera Box (a fantastic program with Jim Svejda) any time again?
    Perhaps as a podcast?
    Or as a bonus for subscribers?

    Best regards,
    Gyorgy Ambrus

    I was delighted to hear the program on American concertos that we broadcast tonight on my station, KPBX, Spokane, but can't find the playlist here. What am I doing wrong?

      @nancy roth Nancy, nice to hear from you! We broadcast that episode on July 15 at 8PM and you can find the playlist by clicking "playlist" in the menu bar at the top and then selecting "July 15."
