KUOW produces 'The Swing Years and Beyond' - it's been airing every Saturday night from 7pm-midnight for a quarter of a century. It is a sophisticated, ultra retro segue of ORIGINAL RECORDINGS from early 1920s thruogh about 1960

You can listen to it on web concurrent with its broadcast in Seattle. The audio, however has never been archived for public enjoyment after the one-shot broadcast

SWING YEARS AND BEYOND was the exclusive domain, by public acclaimation, of the late Cynthia Doyon for more than a decade before her untimely death in August 2003
...
For about a year KUOW has been archiving the SWAB playlists, usually available through the kuow.org website the Monday following Saturday night broadcast. But there's still no audio
...
With minimal encouragement, I am prepared to archive at least some weekly instalments of this truly world class series as a service to a global public, starting tomight (That is not an exaggeration: KUOW is sitting on a towering stack of emails from appreciative regular listeners in, among many other places, Japan, UK, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, Poland and at least two flavours of China)
.
Amanda Wilde is the doyenne of Swing Years and Beyond since Cynthia's death. And no dishonour of the dead--but Amanda's productions are as savvy and delightful as those of the justly revered, and much mourned, late Cynthia Doyon
