WERS has quite a few interesting "format" programs such as an
all Reggae show, all blues, etc.

I enjoy a show that's on from noon to 3PM on Sunday's
that in it's various incarnations has been "Folk Music of the
British Isles", "Celtic Traditions", and probably a few other
names. Irish/Scotch folk music isn't for everyone, but if you
enjoy that genre, you might check it out. This is followed in
the non-summer months by folk music live from Passim Coffehouse
in Harvard Sq., which also can be a good listen.
