Tuesday is always a great day to tune into The AIR  with a new episode of Radio Free Charleston to lighten your mood and make you feel less homicidal. This week we have a new edition of The Swing Shift, too!  Making things even better is the fact that both shows get into the Halloween spirit this week.  RFC sort of slips into it, while The Swing Shift goes full throttle into tricks and treats. To listen to The AIR, you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay here, and  listen to the cool embedded player found elsewhere on this page.  

You can hear Radio Free Charleston Tuesdays at 10 AM and 10 PM, with boatloads of replays throughout the week.

Radio Free Charleston brings you a new show with three full hours of newly-assembled music. We have great new tunes from Novo Combo, Emmalea Deal & The Hot Mess, Buni Muni, Julian Lennon, John Radcliff, The Cowsills, Lily Allen, Hawklords and more, plus the show gets progressively spookier as it goes on. I mean, it starts out just a little spooky, but by the secound hour we devote entire sets to monsters and De Debbil. Our third hour is just spooktastic. We might even plant a few tricks and/or treats along the way.

‘Tis the season, you know.
