The guide to everything GLT is the GLT Guide.

In this issue, check out the boss' annual report on the status of your public radio station, learn more about the new show on Tuesday nights and when you can hear SwingTime. You'll also learn more than you probably wanted to know about what our newest staff member does when not raising money for GLT. Request your free copy of the guide right now.

The World's Only Rock and Roll Talk Show

You can hear Sound Opinions on GLT 89.1 FM and HD3 News & Ideas.

Listen at 11 AM for musician interviews, new music reviews and music news during Sound Opinions on GLT. We've also made the show available three times every weekend on our all news and information HD channel, News & Ideas. Jim DeRogotis (music critic at the Chicago Sun-Times) and Greg Kot (critic the Chicago Tribune) host the show.

A deluxe radio station welcomes "Radio Deluxe."

New show debuts Tuesday, January 6th.

As a GLT listener, you know John Pizzarelli and his wife Jessica Molaskey. Both have independent music careers, they’ve collaborated a few times, you hear them during GLT Jazz, and you can hear them work together every Tuesday night at 7 pm during their show, Radio Deluxe – new on the GLT schedule. Enjoy classic and new performances of top tunes from the Great American Songbook. Radio Deluxe hits the GLT schedule Tuesday, January 6th. SwingTime moves to Monday at 8, replacing Jazz Profiles, which is being eliminated by NPR in 2009.

Uncommon Knowledge turns 3

In January of 2006, GLT's own science show debuted.

During January of 2009, listen to some of the very first episodes as we celebrate three years of Uncommon Knowledge...and nearly 100 episodes. This month, hear why the difference between peanut butter and ketchup could mean the difference between a slow and a catastrophic volcanic eruption; if the rotation of the earth can affect which direction water circles the drain; and the difference between heat and temperature. Uncommon Knowledge airs Mondays at 7:33 AM. Archive episodes are available and it can be heard as a regular podcast.

Flexible Folk Music

Join Bruce Bergethon for Acousticity Sunday night.

This Sunday night at 8:00, hear some hits and some unusual selections from one of America's defining artists. It's "The Unreleased Recordings," 1951 radio broadcasts from Hank Williams. On Jan. 11th, listen for a definitive live set at the Ryman Auditorium from one of bluegrass music's pioneers - banjo master Earl Scruggs with Family and Friends. Scruggs just celebrated his 84th birthday. Every Sunday night, enjoy classic folk, bluegrass and more during Acousticity. Bruce calls it Flexible Folk (and who are we argue, since he's the boss?).
