I enjoyed listening to a portion of that program, thanks for sharing.
It's a bit strange or funny to hear a "proper" British voice talking about
country (instead of the deep southern drawl).
While I enjoy occasionally listening to some sub-genres of country (e.g.
some western swing), here (in TX), we get too much country (on the radio,
in restaurants, various other public places, ...)
But I thought your wife might enjoy listening to the shows from our
community radio (live on the web), KEOS (http://keos.org) - they do many
weekly local music shows.
In particular, there are two programs of interest:
http://keos.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/KEOS-Program-Schedule-for-08.06.17.pdf
10am-noon (Central time) - various Americana, Country, etc. - on most days
of the week, except Sunday. This makes it late afternoon your time.
There are also some evening programs here, - you can check the schedule on
the website.
Also, if Alma likes discovering new musicians, - she might enjoy Elana
James, a musician playing and singing (in various genres) for many years
in Austin: http://www.elanajames.com/listen/
(Or, she might already know this musician.)
I like several songs on "Elana James" (2007) CD album that I own.
Cheers,
Igor

Thought I would mention this here as some of you are country and Americana
fans. My wife, Alma, has always wanted to do a radio show featuring her
favourite music, and now she has been given the chance. A local community
radio
station called Witney Radio (www.witneyradio.co.uk and 99.9FM in
Oxfordshire,
UK) has given her a monthly one hour slot. She loves country, Americana
and
roots music and will be featuring interviews with musicians and producers
in
the future. She kicked off with an intro show with some of her favourites
and
you can listen here if you've got an hour free and enjoy music from the
likes
of Johnny Cash, K D Lang, Andrew Combs (who??!), The Treetop Flyers
(who!??!?!?!) amongst others. Easy listening - very enjoyable. Recorded
and
produced by me :-)
Cheers
