I don't listen to the radio much on weekend sadly as I get horrible reception inside the house, better in the car when I go places. But I love PHC, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Thistle and Shamrock (I am in love and lust with Fiona Ritchie's voice!!), along with Echoes (John DiLobretto has such a soothing voice), Hearts of Space - all of these of course are on NPR. Also, a local classical music station here in upstate NY has every weekday morning at 7:45 what they call the "Sousalarm" - John Phillip Sousa marching band music to help wake you up.
There is also, sadly only back on Long Island (tho you can get it streaming at http://www.captphilonline.com), on WUSB 90.1 FM, a great sci fi show called "Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction." It's a sf/fantasy/comics/fandom-themed program that features recordings of performances at I-Con (until the host got blackballed by the con committee most unfairly!!), music scores, interviews with authors and actors, excerpts from audiobooks, radio plays and other interesting things. It's a great show (even though I didn't listen very often myself as it airs 11:30 PM on Fridays when I am frequently too tired to remember to tune in, and when I did remember too frequently it would be an interview with some author I never heard of or a radio play that wasn't all that good), I was on it a number of times myself with my filk music, and Tom was a guest at least once!!
