Hi everybody! Hope you have been enjoying the program. Before I post the playlists for the last two shows I wanted to tell you about two websites I have found. The first is www.chaifm.com This is a radio station in Johannesburg, South Africa featuring lots of good Jewish programming. The second is a more obscure website that features lots of information about many Jewish artists heard regularly on Washington Jewish Radio. There is biographical and other information but unfortunately, most of the site is in Russian! Now if you speak Russian you’re “in like flint”. If you don’t at least you can read the English parts. The website can be accessed at yiddishmusic.jewniverse.info So be sure to check them out.
