A Rare Thursday RFC Descends From The Heavens

Between the Labor Day holiday and looming magazine deadlines, it’s time for a rare Thursday premiere of Radio Free Charleston on The AIR . For just the second time we’re debuting  another one-third-new, three-hour  episode of Radio Free Charleston outside of our regular Tuesday timeslot. 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 elsewhere on this page.

It’s one more hybrid edition of Radio Free Charleston debuting at 2 PM Thursday.  This week we open with a full hour of  local and independent music, and then we hit you with two hours of classic Radio Free Charleston International from late in the run. This time our second and third hours are a mixtape of my favorite music of all time, originally transmitted over The AIR back in January, 2019. I was having deadline issues then, too.

Our first hour, opens with new music from The Heavy Editors.  You’ll also hear cool new music from J. Marinelli, Golden and Catbite . We also have some new tunes from Chicago artists, Al Rose and Nice Motor. We get a little proggy in the last half of the first hour, with music from Six by Six, The Settlement, Chuck Biel and more.

The second and third hours of our show re-present a cool episode of Radio Free Charleston International from January, 2019, when your humble host Took the easy way out and just compiled a mixtape of some of his favorite music of all time.

Next week, this episode will appear in the regular Tuesday timeslot, to lighten the workload of your PopCulteer a bit.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store (live links will take you to the artist’s pages where possible)…
