Country in Ethiopia

July 13, 2005 2:41 PM

RadioFilter: A friend told me she heard a segment on country music's popularity in Ethiopia on WNYC (820 AM, public radio in New York) this morning. Despite searching the websites of every show they aired, I cannot find audio or any mention of the segment. Did anyone else catch this, and if so, can you help me find it?

How early? Is it possible that the BBC was still playing? It runs from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. on AM 820 and at 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on FM 92.9.

It was an installment in their series on the international coffee industry (today's segment was on coffee collectives in Ethiopia). Hope this info gives you some more search terms to work with.

And yes, I too was pleasantly surprised.
