French radio

I've been trying to improve my French listening skills by tuning in to France Culture. However, it doesn't have many talk-only programs - there are some news and current affairs shows, but often there are programs that feature mostly music. The worse thing though are these sort of live poetry features, where the presenter gets his guests to read out poems they've written. That's not a bad idea per se, but there seems to be this convention that while the poems are being read, other guests are allowed to gasp and go 'mmm.. oui' every time they like a word - and you tend to get about three or four of these interjections every line of poetry. Eventually I decided I had had enough and switched back to podcastfrancaisfacile..
