Not totally relevant, but there’s a pub in Liverpool called The Shipping Forecast, bit wanky but you know, any port in a storm.

Is this an advert?
No. It’s an answer to the question with a link to recordings - largely copied from their site because I’m lazy. (BTW: KRVM is a non-profit community funded station. They have a lot of other good programs too.)
Thanks for sharing.

Really like GunSmoke. Old-timey western. Use it to go to sleep sometimes.
