We have a really cool, but only partly-new Radio Free Charleston that you can hear today on The AIR. 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.
It’s a free-format extravaganza as this week’s first hour opens with Nashville’s Saycouth, coming to use courtesy of our Chicago pipeline. “It’s The Ride” is their brand-new single, released just last Friday, and if you find yourself in Nashville on July 30, you owe it to yourself to go check them out at the Hutton Hotel.
The rest of our first hour features new music from Brian Diller, The Settlement, Golden, Buni Muni, Pulp, The Grip Weeds, Heavy Set Paw Paws, The M.F.B. and a real treat for yours truly, a new tune from M (aka Robin Scott), from his brand-new album, The FAQS of Life. That’s his first album as M in forty years, so I’m psyched. I had to use a VPN that sets my location to London to download the album from Beatport, but if I can do it, you can do it.
Our second and third hours are an encore of the final two hours from a 2023 episode of RFC, and are plopped in here because your humble blogger still has limited use of his hands and, as you can hear in the show, I’m gettin’ pretty good at whining about it. These two hours are, in my humble opinion, pretty freaking awesome, so you don’t want to miss them.
Your walking wounded blogger/radio host was able to put this weeks RFC together while still recovering from the rather stabby medical test I had done a week ago. Links in the first hour will take you to pages for the artists…

At 3 PM we give you an encore of two classic episodes of The Swing Shift. I know I’ve been neglecting my Swing Music showcase lately, but I play to rectify that situation with a stretch of new episodes coming every week beginning in August.
