Prepare yourselves for three hours of brand-new Radio Free Charleston 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 we open this week’s show with a new track from Ghoulbox. We also have brand-new tunes from Novelty Island, The Heavy Editors, Peter Murphy, Tracey Bonham, Arcade Fire, The Kooks, Suzanne Vega and more.

Our second hour brings you long-form music, while our third hour mixes pop with Prog and Synthpop, and even tosses in some vintage Police.

You should stick around, as always, for our mystery bonus tracks at the end of the show. We’d tell you more about them, but then they wouldn’t be a mystery, now would they?

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists who have websites.
