August ?, 1993
Source for this playlist: Nick B.
I have a taped episode from 1993. It's hosted by Lewis Largent and features interviews with Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy, aired from the Crystal Palace in London, England for the final European show of DM's Devotional Tour. That show was July 31, 1993.

My guess is that the air date is sometime in August of 1993, which, based on what you have in the archive already, would make it August 8th, 15th, 22nd, or 29th. The only way to narrow it down any further is that Lewis mentioned that Paul Westerberg would be the host next week.

Here's that setlist:
Host: Lewis Largent
Guests: Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy

Soul Asylum (w/ Victoria Williams and the Sweet Relief Ensemble): Summer of Drugs
Verve: Slide Away
PJ Harvey: Man-Size
Camper Van Beethoven: Take The Skinheads Bowling
Depeche Mode: Walking In My Shoes
Catherine Wheel: Crank
R.E.M.: Everybody Hurts
Liz Phair: Never Said
The The: Slow Emotion Replay
Depeche Mode: I Feel You
Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock
The Trash Can Sinatras: Bloodrush
Primus: Mr. Krinkle
Sisters of Mercy: This Corrosion
The Flaming Lips: Turn It On
Bjork: Human Behavior
The Judybats: Ugly On the Outside
Screaming Trees: Butterfly
Urge Overkill: Sister Havana

Through the show, Lewis interviews Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andrew Fletcher, and Alan Moore individually. He also interviews Andrew Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy, a Sisters of Mercy fan named Carol, and then a couple of Depeche Mode fans. There's also a few clips of Depeche Mode playing live.
