Basically, my own little radio TiVo. :) I use the Hauppauge WinTV/FM card for exactly this. For my commercial clients, I use it for off-air reception -> streaming and for my home use I set it up to archive various radio shows during the day (ie. "Stern - Infinity", "Fresh Air - NPR", "Utah Philips - KPFA", etc.). You will need to run the output into a sound card. An Ensoniq card will set you back about $25 and will sound fine. For the actuall software, I wrote a number of scripts and programs that will do the streaming and archiving.
