Not recorded or archived? You gotta be kidding!

The programs are recorded by the radio station, Radio Fairfax, but to archive them and make them available to the public would be incredibly labor intensive, especially given that the station has a royalty agreement in place with RIAA, which would require keeping track of the number of downloads of each show. Multiply that beyond my show across to all the other shows broadcast by the station, and you can understand why they decided not to do go that way.
