https://youtube/watch?v=ggBeIM5YWMc The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour was created, is produced, and hosted by folksinger Michael Johnathon. The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour is an all volunteer run, Non Profit Organization, and is a worldwide multimedia celebration of grassroots music filmed in front of a live audience. WoodSongs is not a concert, but a one hour musical conversation focusing on the artists and their music.[2] The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour began in 1998 in a small studio that sat only 20 people. It was recorded on a cassette tape that had to be turned over half way through the broadcast, and was picked up by one radio station, WRVG in Georgetown, Kentucky.[3][4] In 1999 WoodSongs moved to a 150 seat room at the Lexington Public Library. After selling out 50 shows in a row, the broadcast was moved in 2000 to the Kentucky Theatre[5] where it stayed until January 2013 when it moved to the 540 seat Lyric Theatre & Cultural Arts Center.[6] By 2005 WoodSongs was being aired on 320 radio stations, and by 2013 509 radio stations across North America and Internationally. The radio program is available to both noncommercial and commercial radio stations, one of the few widely distributed radio programs in the United States to be offered to both types of stations. This does not include the addition of the American Forces Network which broadcasts it in 173 nations, to over 1 million listeners worldwide, and every US Naval ship at sea. In Kentucky, KET (Kentucky Educational Television) (PBS) public television [7] airs the show several times a week. The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour produces 1 show a week for 48 weeks every Monday evening at the Lyric Theatre in Lexington, Kentucky, and has produced over 750 broadcasts that have aired worldwide.
