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 two episodes of Radio Free Charleston Volume Four, from a decade ago. This show is mostly local, West Virginia artists, with a sprinkling of independent musicians just to keep you on your toes.

This week’s reason for digging into the archives that my voice is a bit shot, so I needed a minor break.

Our second and third hours are basically a time capsule of what I was playing on the show a decade ago.

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