Around 1999 I created thumpradio.com, which was the "streaming" website for the Thump Radio radio show and (mad) parties in San Francisco. The site streamed all the radio shows, DJ sets (in RealAudio) and had artist bios and track downloads. You could stream music interwoven with interviews for days on end. The site is long gone, with some ghosts of it on the Wayback Machine but I have forever memories from that time.

Still have cassette tapes of Thump Radio shows on KUSF, and memories of enjoying the RealAudio sets. I also remember them calling out the show identification in various languages, where the only words I understood were at the end: “… Thump Radio.” Great stuff — thank you.
HA! I recorded one of those show ids in Hebrew at the time. Completely forgot about that. I am pretty sure all those recordings do exist somewhere. Mason Rothert was doing all things radio there and it was beautiful to watch (and listen).
