Bradford Community Broadcasting in West Yorkshire, England broadcast a 78-minute program today devoted to Both Sides Now, airing the entire CD in addition to playing the Miles of Aisles versions of "Both Sides Now" and "A Case of You." Comparative excerpts from Glenn Miller ("At Last"), Billie Holiday ("Comes Love") and Buddy Greco ("I Wish I Were In Love Again") were also included in the program, providing an interesting added perspective. Produced by Tim Moon, the show was simulcast over the Internet in RealAudio. Host Karl Dallas made mostly favorable comments on the music, tracing the story Joni tells through the songs. Although I disagreed with some of the analysis and was put off at one point by a bit of stale innuendo, I enjoyed the program and am always glad when Joni gets some richly deserved airplay, even with the inherent RealAudio sound flaws.

The broadcast is likely to be archived so it can be heard later. I'll let you know what the URL for the archive is when it becomes available.
