For a taste of the old world in the new, The Russian Show brings its listeners an enormous array of broadcasts:
- News from Far Away - The latest news from Russia
Though international media and fast-speed mediums have made the world a much smaller global community, there are still many smaller news pieces that we all want to hear about from Russia but just can't get in the larger outlets. Our newsfeed from Russia brings our listeners human interest stories and smaller-scale news that touch the heart in a way that only somebody from the source could bring them.
- Breakfast in Bed - Show business news and society gossip
Breakfast in Bed is one of the show's most talked-about features. In this segment of the show we've given you the mic to select what goes on the show. From gossip going on in the community, weddings, religious events, even new business ventures. You select what the hot pieces of the day are about our colorful, rich, often humorous community.
This has often been used as a sort of personals page for members of our community who may have otherwise never met to discover common interests, or even family relations, and call in to get one another's personal information. As you must imagine, these are the most fulfilling and treasured moments we here at the studio enjoy being a part of; seeing our community strengthen its bond.
- Radio Doctor - The exploits and hilarious stories of a Russian paramedic in Ireland
Back by popular demand, the short stories and anecdotes of one of our most cherished characters. The Russian paramedic returns after his vast travels through the villages and cities of Ireland, saving lives and embittering his own. With his deep cynicism and sarcastic interpretation of the world, he has served for many of us the figure of that loveable grandfather we may have lost after leaving our homes behind.
- Faces of Russia - About the people that changed the history and culture of Russia
Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, Lenin to Marx, Russia has no shortage of famous faces that have shifted the current of human civilization. This portion of our show is primarily geared towards our younger audience, but our adult listeners can gather quite a bit from it as well. Here we have compiled a list of significant figures from Russia's history, both from our own research as well as the advice of listeners, and devoted ourselves to present it to the airwaves in the most comprehensive manner as to be enriching and informative to the young ears who are in danger of being left out of the loop by not acknowledging their rich heritage.
- Bazaar - A lifestyle showcasing every day life in the different time zones
- Treasure Chest - Russians traditions, folklore, arts and more buried treasures
Centuries upon centuries is how far back Russian tradition dates back. It is indeed a "treasure chest" of colorful customs. Each week we bring a guest to the studio to discuss his or her area of specialty in a particular segment of Russian heritage. Be it of traditional dress, statues, books, customs, dance, music, everyone is invited to learn a little something from someone who has mastered an element of our rich custom.
- Russian Bistro - easy recipes and bits of history on the side
The list of gourmet dishes that have passed through our studio will even make an elephant drool.

Come and join us, we'll save you a spot in the table.
