The Folk Sampler

The Folk Sampler is a nationally syndicated public radio (NPR) show, that showcases folk, blues, & bluegrass music both modern and old.

Since 1978, the host Mike Flynn has been broadcasting his show from the foothills of the Ozarks. It was in 1982 that The Folk Sampler became syndicated by public radio. Each weeks show has a theme which all songs featured fit into either by release date or actual song theme. After selecting a theme for a show Mr Flynn has to work though over 6,000 record albums, 3,000 compact discs, and 2,000 cassettes. It's reported that he spends 15-20 hours a week preparing each show.
