I don't generally spend a lot of time blowing my own horn about this station, but considering the scale at which I broadcast, the fact that I do this as a hobby, and the fact that I don't get serviced by several of the major folk labels, and therefore I'm buying a lot of this music myself, I think those numbers are pretty darn good and stack up favorably against anything you would find from any of the "professional" folk stations or shows, WUMB, Whole Wheat Radio, and Folk Alley excepted.
The year-end lists will be posted soon at http://www.folkradio.org shortly.
