Several of my favourite artists have "Peel Sessions". But that was an entirely different era of history; the last episodes were over 25 years ago I think.
Peel ran his show on a state broadcaster network (BBC Radio 1), in a country where the state provided significant arts funding until the 1980s or so. That created a culture where it was possible to record and perform music full-time without living on the street. Many bands met at state-funded, zero-tuition art colleges. Those days are long gone.
