Tuesday on The AIR  your blogger and radio show host once again dives into the vast RFC Archives and comes up with a “new” patchwork edition of Radio Free Charleston. Real-life intrusions and just a general amount of over-workedness combined to cause me to throw in the towel on bringing you a new show this week.

This week I decided to go back to April, 2019, and stitch together three consecutive episodes of Radio Free Charleston Volume 4, which happen to be loaded with great music. To hear all this cool local music you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay on this page, and  listen to the cool embedded player over at the top of the right column.

At 10 AM and 10 PM you can hear this all-local compilation of RFC volume 4, episodes 105, 106 and 107. These are killer shows so you can still get your recommended daily amount of local music!

The first hour is a deep dive into our archives, with stuff you may not hear anyplace else. Hour two is a metal extravaganza with even more tracks that are exclusive to The AIR. Hour three is loaded with some then-new releases from notable area bands, and even that hour has a couple of tracks that you won’t hear on any other radio station.

These shows haven’t been heard in almost three years, so I thought it was a good idea to bring them back and plop them into the RFC V5 rotation. I do apologize for not having live links for the bands in the playlist this week. Time constraints and fatigue (laziness) prevented it.

Check out the playlist:
