Another Wednesday, another For the Folk. Allison Brown hosted tonight; after hearing three shows from each host, I think I can say I prefer her selections to Ian’s. (On an unrelated note, there will be no playlist next week; I’m going to the inaugural game of the Canadian Baseball League, featuring the London Monarchs and Montreal Royales.)
