The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour is an all-volunteer-run nonbusiness organization and is a worldwide multimedia celebration of grassroots music filmed in front of live audience.
[2] The WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour began in 1998 in a small studio that had a sitting place for only 20 people.
It was recorded on a cassette tape that had to be turned over halfway through the broadcast, and was picked up by one radio station, WRVG in Georgetown, Kentucky.
This does not include the addition of the American Forces Network which broadcasts it in 173 nations, to over 1 million listeners worldwide, and every US Naval ship at sea.
In the Central Kentucky community, they involve regional schools and universities for the WoodSongs intern program, which allows students to participate in the set up of nationally broadcast weekly productions.

The purpose of the WoodSongs CoffeeHouse is to encourage local participation by regional musicians and artists, and to give them a platform to express themselves and surround themselves with the music community.
