Whoever listens to BBC

I read the following on FOAOMAD´s website:

Loads of folk music on BBC radio over the next few weeks. One relevant one is on BBC Radio 3, Sunday 31 Jan 6:45pm – Sunday Feature Cecil Sharp’s Appalachian Trail
“100 years ago, in the spring of 1916, English folk song collector Cecil Sharp set out on a voyage to America, planning a give a series of lectures on English folk music. However as he was crossing the Appalachians he discovered a treasure trove of folk songs, many of them English folk songs he had never encountered before.
Andy Kershaw follows Cecil Sharp’s Appalachian Trail through Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee, hearing some of the songs he collected both in their original versions and in present-day interpretations in specially-recorded sessions with contemporary singers. The 1600 songs that Cecil Sharp collected represent the bedrock of Appalachian music, songs which gave rise to the styles of old-time, country and bluegrass.”
45 minutes.
Perhaps I can hear this on webradio? 
Anybody ´s interested why I came upon  FOAOMAD´s website ? I´ll join their Festival in Gainsborogh. Yeehaw!
