With Tuesday being our most-listened-to day on The AIR we try to load it up with new episodes of our most popular shows, and that’s exactly what we did this week as we bring you more great local music and other goodies like Swing and Psychedelica. This week all three of our music programs feature new episodes, and they’re all pretty darned nifty.  You can tune in at The AIR website, or listen in on this sweet little embedded radio player…

Today at 10 AM we are bringing a terrific new episode of Radio Free Charleston, opening with brand new music from Jay Parade, and continuing with a great mix of new music and stuff from our archives, including Holly and the Guy, Jeff Ellis, Half Batch, Erik Woods, Mark Beckner and more. We’ll post the playlists at the bottom of this post, after the jump.

Radio Free Charleston can be heard Tuesday at 10 AM and 10 PM, with replays Thursday at 2 PM, Friday at 8 PM and Saturday at 11 AM and Midnight, exclusively on The AIR.

At 2 PM it’s time for Nigel Pye and his psychedelic mixtape program, Psychedelic Shack. This week we get yet another new episode of Psychedelic Shack in its new one-hour format, bringing you Nigel and his weekly hour-long mix of mind-blowing psychedelic music. In this week’s show you’ll hear Chocolate Watchband and more classic acid-trippy music, but this week Nigel didn’t send us a playlist this week, so you’ll have to tune in to find out what he has up his Nehru-jacketed sleeve for you.

Psychedelic Shack can be heard Tuesday’s at 2 PM, with replays Wednesday at 11 AM, Thursday at 5 PM and Saturday at 7 AM.

At 3 PM The Swing Shift brings you another brand-new one-hour blast of yours truly trying to revive the jive with a reet beat and a swing ans sway that’s here to stay. This week the show kicks off with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and never lets up, with Duke Ellington, New Morty Show, Postmodern Jukebox, Wolfgang Parker and more. You’ll find the playlist after the jump.

You can hear The Swing Shift Tuesday at 3 PM, with replays Wednesday at 7 AM, Thursday at 7 PM and Saturday at 9 AM, only on The AIR. You can also hear all-night marathons, seven hours each, starting at Midnight Thursday and Sunday evenings.

Remember, you can tune in to The AIR at all hours of the day and night for a variety and quality of programming that you will not find anywhere else.
