If you or your listeners have any appreciation for music from the 40's, you might like to air an episode called "Christmas 1940s" which is part of the "Music From 100 Years Ago" website at http://bfuqua.libsyn.com/
What I found so appealing is the way the announcer eloquently describes a brief history and trivia about each song before playing it, and what was going on during that time.
You can also browse to his previous Christmas episodes going back about 6 years (each episode is different and about a half hour long in single mp3 downloads)
I've only played the 2011 and 2009 so far, and enjoyed them both... some stuff in the 2009 episode was recorded as far back as 1915!
Not all the programs are Christmas episodes (only 1 per year), and each has a title and brief description of the content of each program.
There is no contact info, actually there's absolutely no info at all! - Actually the sole information about the website is just the title:
"Music From 100 Years Ago - Music from the early days of the 20th Century with comments."

Oh Man! I was diggin' through my trunk and found a great old album of BIG PIPE ORGAN Christmas music by Milton Page.
I'll be cleaning it up and transfering it to MP3 if anyone is into pipe organ music.
The 30's 40's Christmas tunes are just what a buddy was looking for.
Thanks
This year there are 2.4-million Americans in prison for Christmas, and they can only make collect-calls to their loved-ones at $6-per-minute.
But there is a radio program available for use called "Calls From Home" in which the families and loved ones of prisoners have placed their voice messages to the prisoners they love.
Keep in mind that with new legislation we might all be in prison by next year.
