Here in NEOhio, we have one of the best public radio stations, well, in the world. Connected to Kent State University, you can listen to it over a wide region, on HD radio, or online from anywhere with an Internet connection. They have three channels: Classical and NPR (and other) programming, all-news, and folk music featuring “Folk Alley.” (And don’t get the idea that by “folk” they mean any narrow definition.)

With Spooky Sounds from Folk Alley you can listen to their Scream Stream online for a limited time only at www.folkalley.com/music/halloween. As they put it: Before there was Bob Dylan or Pete Seeger, or even Woody Guthrie, there were folk songs that were dark and gritty and filled with murder and mayhem. Perfect for Halloween! These wicked and tragic tales form the base of Folk Alley’s Scream Stream – five hours of spooky songs filled with ghosts, witches, graves, blood, goblins and more scary stuff. Warning: Folk Alley is not responsible for anyone foolish enough to listen to the Scream Stream alone or in the dark! It’s just too frightening!

I highly recommend a listen!
