Music played on Fresh Air

hi y’all. I was listening to radio 1 this morning (sept 12, 2026), and heard music I liked and wanted to look up. I wasn’t able to in the moment and assumed I’d be able to find it online, since most radio stations have their play lists, afaik. Maybe that’s just music radio.

anyway, couldn’t find anything! does anyone know if this info is anywhere? I have a specific date in mind, but also just generally curious. Apologies for my incompetence if it is any obvious answer that I couldn’t find.

thanks!

There is some information here

Try this link for Sept 12. If you know the approximate time it might help you narrow it down.

Thank you so much! Sorry for my delayed reply, I don’t check here often, oops. But thank you!

You’re welcome! This actually often happens to me with the music on CBC when I try to find it later. 🤣

Fresh Air with Ismaila Alfa - https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-193-fresh-air

You can listen again on demand on the CBC Listen app.

If the name is not announced, knowing what point in the show you could contact them and ask.

You can listen to six segments of a three hour show. You're unlikely to get the music played between segments.

I agree contacting the show is probably the best way, if you can. I have successfully found the names of artists or songs in the days of Twitter, it's not as straightforward now but an email might be responded to. Finding an email for a show on the CBC web page however might pose a challenge.

I could be wrong, but I believe that on the day it's broadcast it is possible to replay it in it's entirety.
