The Sound of 78s Roger Wilmut's podcasts of 78 rpm records from his collection.
Just listening to the Hungarian, Maori, Japanese, Balinese, Hawaiian and Mandarin Chinese episode, it's pretty cool.

Just finished listening to the linked podcast, and I have to say, what a shame this fellow is presenting so many excerpts, and not the pieces in their entirety. Strange. It's like he thinks his audience wouldn't have the interest or attention span to listen to a whole song, but he's doing a real disservice to the music by chopping it up like that. Why wouldn't he include the entire pieces?

Well, to be fair, I'm not sure if he does that with all his other podcasts. It might've been just this "ethnic" one. I'd say check some of the others he has on offer.

I'm listening now to the British dance band novelty number podcast, and the songs are, in fact, entire--and perfect for George Formby fans everywhere.

I wish this were an actual time machine that operated with only a dime.

hi humannaire!
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
