What internet stations do you listen to enrich your musical mind?

There are many who do not believe in talking about musical history or education.  That's fine but please move on.  This thread is for those of us who like talking music and it's history.

So I listen to Jazz.FM from Toronto for Jazz or the Harvard student run station. I had been listening to KDFC for Classical but honestly got seriously bored with it's selection.

So what stations or shows do you enjoy listening to which not only play good music but teach you about it too?

I listen to XRDS.fm on internet radio only because I have never heard a more realistic and accurate reproduction of recorded music when the recording allows, which is more often than not, and this at a claimed 128k mp3 format.

Absolutely a joy to listen to for audiophiles and somewhat disturbing for us hi-rez or hi-end fans.

If you are still in LA area, turn of KCRW.com on FM. Great DJ's who play be what is inspiring them that day. They also have great commentary on the music that is played. It took me a while to realize that this is a world-famous station.

I listen on the FM band, and it has a great sound along with amazing music content. The streaming sonics is also good but not at the level of the FM signal. I also checked out the HD Radio stream and that was the worst of the 3 options.

I listen to Jeff' Bressler's *Make Believe Ballroom* on UK 1940's Radio Station - good musical selections and very entertaining and informative commentary.  The program is also available on several community/college radio stations.
