The original concept for The Basement Rug was as a themed late-night radio show to be broadcast out of Toronto. For a number of reasons that never came about. Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour on XM satellite radio followed the same concept when it ran from 3 May 2006 – 15 April 2009.
Many thanks to CROZ-FM for archiving all 100 shows in 160-kbps mp3 format. Just visit the archive site and click on the 
icon to download each show as a single zip file. These are not podcasts – each song is a seperate mp3 file with title and performer details completed in the ID tags. If you put the shows on your iPod, they will appear as Bob Dylan albums. This is a really great offering that will take you a long time to download, but I think you will find it worthwhile. A great companion for long road trips. Enjoy!
