Does anybody know if there is a way to stream the best show live on a Roku?

Not sure...I've never used a Roku, but as I understand it, you need to subscribe to "channels" or have apps in order to get content...is that correct? Is there any sort of web browser? You'd need that, or some way to plug in a URL in order to listen to the show, I believe.

If some smarty wanted to create a Roku channel, I'd be overjoyed.

Add the Livestream channel.  Open it up, scroll to the bottom to search, and search for Best Show.   8)

I'm trying this, too. The stream drops for me pretty frequently in my web browser

Thanks very much - I ended up listening to Livestream in my computer last night. I look forward to trying this out next Tuesday.

You can always use the Tunein app, but it wouldn't be live, it would just be the podcast version.

Yeah-- thanks so much. I have a feeling this could make listening even that much more enjoyable.

Listened on my Roku last night. It eventually worked great, but I had to unplug it and reboot the Roku box before it would load the show.

The bonus is that the screen shows what I imagine is a studio (Tom's?) desktop with the media player and some other dinguses running in the background.

I've found that I couldn't find the show on Livestream unless I searched for Tom Scharpling. Livestream is great if you want to use a phone or tablet because you wont lose the feed if you open another app.
