A little over a year ago I did this post about this blog I had come across by a guy named Hanszun that I was surprised to see was giving away lots of complete, in-print CDs (including box sets), instead of the ultra-rare out-of-print stuff usually made available by most "sharity" sites. I said that "Blogs like this Hanszunblog (not to pick on him- I'm sure there are hundreds more) are going to be the death of music blogs and are going to bring the wrath of the RIAA down on ALL of us". This led to a bit of a flame-war in my comments which I finally shut down when some guy threatened to contact Arthur Lee who he had "had some correspondence with a bit in the past, and have his email address" to report me for posting some Love videos because I had "pushed a good friend of mine just a little too far."
look, i like getting lectured in between cuts by experts in their musical fields. thats why last night (not his regular time slot) i listened to phil schaap yang on in a single show history of jazz. one show but there was still time for an exhaustive discussion on king oliver, louis armstrong and new orleans. my terrestrial reception wasnt cutting it so i checked and wkcr columbia univ does have a website with online streaming. with further exploration i found phil schaaps selected archives with in depth focuses on louis armstrong, bix beiderbecke and ornette coleman. im going to guess and say the mlk show is a in depth general history of jazz. schaap is very very knowledgeable on his subject and the shows come off as scholarly lectures. even repetitive playing of the same song pointing out the different solos and band members proformances, dates, location, etc.
i put a "john cage" search into radio365 and i got radiomolecule which boasts the following descriptive information :

will the commercial interruptions be too frequent and will the programing be too repetitive? very good programing and cd quality stream could justify a vip subscription.
