Roger adds that he has been doing a weekly bluegrass radio show since January:

I’m enjoying and learning a lot. It’s on a small, low-power community station, but it does stream on the internet... Should you get a chance to listen in sometime, I’m on Tuesday afternoons 4.00 p.m. our time. Right now, that would be 9.00 p.m. your time. The station ID is WRYR and there’s information on streaming there.

Copies of the program are on the ABC website in the form of mp3 files.
