Hi. John’s Old Time Radio Show is a podcast that features 78s primarily from the 1920s and 1930s. While he has an extensive collection, the majority of the shows pull from Robert Crumb’s (the artist-comix dude) archives and they both share a lot of information about the music. Each show has a particular theme to it. The website offers a lot more detail and ephemera than the podcast app.
John and his partner Eden are the core members of the East River String Band here in NYC and Crumb is one of an ever-changing lineup. You might enjoy it.
I would have enjoyed a 78 collectors event from the listener stand point too.
Elmer Scheid! There's a name from my MN childhood. Called them oom-pa-pa bands. They were about the only live music we heard in our German/Scandinavian rural small towns.
Yes! Elmer was the king of old time polka. I don’t collect 78s since my radio station turntables won’t play them, but I stumble across fun recordings a lot.

I'm happy she is providing a show for fans of that genre! I'll stick to Cajun squeezebox over polka these days.
I love 78s! After 8-tracks, they're bound to be the next big thing.
