    We did have our own national weekly Scottish music programme, broadcast from the University Of North Carolina, back in the 1980s.

    Though touted as a Celtic music show the host and the preponderance of the music were Scottish.
    Thistle & Shamrock with Fiona Ritchie? Still available on some NPR stations. I've been a listener for years. It's not as available as it was when I first started but still out there.
    She did move the production ( and herself) to Scotland many years ago. Like many semi-obscure things, the internet had made it more available.

    I've definitely heard Fiona Ritchie's Thistle and Shamrock program on NPR stations in multiple cities over the years. It's often one of the grab-bag of programs running on Saturday night.

    Too bad it’s not available outside the UK...

    I’m a big fan of The Waterboys, Big Country, Del Amitri, Trashcan Sinatras, etc. I’d love to be able to hear several of these episodes as these were some of my favorites back in my high school and college days!

    Cheers,
