Mary Oishi hosts The Blues Show on KUNM 89.9 FM, Albuquerque, New Mexico, alternating every other Wednesday night, from 7 to 10 pm Mountain Time. She plays a mix of great blues, from Delta to Chicago, from the 20's to the newest blues artists on the scene, from locals musicians just getting started...to the legends of the blues.

She began her career in public radio at KVNF-FM in Paonia, Colorado in 1995.  There she hosted Wang Dang Doodle, a blues music, interview, and education program.  She was part of a collective of women who alternately hosted One Woman's Perspective.  Every other week she hosted The Medicine Show, a Sunday morning show of "healing" instrumentals. 

She has interviewed hundreds of people in the course of her career in media: in print and on the air. During her radio career, she has interviewed Koko Taylor, Janis Ian, Guy Davis, Eric Bibb, Charlie Musselwhite, Laura Love, Mollie O'Brien, and other musicians.  In addition, she has interviewed Hiroshima survivor, Shigeko Sasamori, AIM activist Madonna Thunderhawk, playwright Karen Jones Meadows, and numerous other writers and activists.
