Your humble blogger/radio host is a little hampered by MG again this week on The AIR  as we premiere another mostly-local and partly-new episode of Radio Free Charleston. 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.

We’ve created another new/old hybrid for you this week that you can hear at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday. The first hour is filled with new, local and independent music. Hours two and three bring you a vintage episode of RFC Volume Four, from 2016, and it’s loaded with goodies.  Live links in the playlist are sparse this week.

Our first hour is all-new. We open it with new music from Corduroy Brown, and continue on with new or newish stuff from Andy Prieboy, Jim Lange, Logical Fleadh, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rick Wakeman, The Church, Depeche Mode and more.

For our second and third hours I once again went back and found an early episode of Radio Free Charleston International from 2016. This show hasn’t been heard for over six years, and I didn’t want to let it languish any longer.

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