Is there a "TV guide" for radio?

What resources exist to find out a schedule for interesting upcoming radio programs?
I've always loved listening to the radio and podcasts. I already have a lot of podcasts I regularly listen to, but also enjoy live radio broadcasts. I now have a Wi-Fi radio player which has thousands of stations from around the world. It's fun to scroll through stations, but even better would be some online resource with a guide where I could find programs that would interest me. I'm assuming there is a rather limited audience for this type of thing, but does anyone know of a website (maybe a blog?) that alerts people to upcoming interesting radio broadcasts? I suppose podcasting probably made a need for such a thing extinct, since most programs can now be obtained on-demand.
For example, I love listening to old Joe Frank broadcasts, which are often broadcast onto different public radio stations around the US. I tend to rely on posts by one user on reddit as to when and where to find those broadcasts.

Specific to the BBC, but they have schedules for all of their radio stations. Radio 4 is the home of perennial Me-Fi favourite In Our Time and a whole host of other great programmes, but once you go past Radio 1-3 (modern music, slightly less modern music, and classical music, respectively) there's lots of interesting non-music stuff. The World Service is particularly interesting, IMO.
You might want something like the Global Radio Guide. I've never used it so I can't vouch for it, but it appears an updated version come out every 6 months or so and it isn't expensive, so might be worth trying.

The Radio Times still publishes radio listings.

There's a tremendous variety of music that streams on KRVM, with the last two weeks of most shows available. Times are US Pacific zone.
