Tuesday is NEW RFC DAY The AIR  and today we prove it with a newish episode of Radio Free Charleston to excite and delight you and yours.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 one brand-new hour, and a special encore of the second-ever episode of Radio Free Charleston International, from over a decade ago.

The reason for this is Myasthenia Gravis, which has your humble blogger and radio host a little more humbled than usual. Looking back through this blog’s archives, It seems like I get hit pretty hard every late-February/early-March.

Still, I bring you a killer first hour, with new music from Tape Age, Heavy Hitters Band, Stitch Jones and his Bionic Marines, Gardenn, The Paranoid Style and more.

Our second and third hours show you what kind of stuff I’d been dying to unleash on the world back in 2016.  I was a little surprised to discover that I’d been playing Moron Police for that long. As you can see, it’s free-form radio at its most freeformy.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page in the first hour…
