Thank you very much for the excellent links! I tune in WXPR in Wausau when I'm up there, often for the World Radio Network overnight. I've only heard WOJB when traveling through or in northern Wisconsin, including on the way to Minnesota - that was the Manitoba/Sask trip this past September. I'll have to give their stream a listen. And yes, CBC podcasting is an option too, I just wish it didn't have to come to that.

Kalihweyo’se, as translated on-air by the host, is Good Messages Radio. It's specifically out of WPNE in Green Bay, and airs all sorts of indigenous music, traditional and otherwise. Picture a nerdy long-haired white girl in her early teens staying up late on Thursday nights, annoying/exasperating her family (who knew she'd be a zombie the next day at school), making recordings off the radio and later playing them back so many times it's a wonder the cassettes didn't wear out.

Re public radio and classical music: I love WPR, and always will, but the emphasis on European classical music is... puzzling at best, to me. Call me cynical, but is that all about financial supporters having an affinity for the genre? I hope not. Mind you, I'm the girl who's raised the question of expanded language offerings at previous WPR forums; it's probably not that surprising I'd be down for broadening people's classical horizons too.
