Tuesday finds a partly-new Radio Free Charleston on The AIR.  Our first hour of  Radio Free Charleston is accompanied by a classic two-hour episode of RFC International, that dates back to April, 2016.

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 tons of replays throughout the week.

Our first hour is a collection of cool new, and newly-acquired music, leading off with the Ohio-based band, The Broken Relics. They’re looking to expand their touring and will likely wind up playing in the Huntington/Charleston area real soon. I’ll keep you posted when that happens here in PopCult.

We also have new tunes from The Paranoid Style, Novelty Island, Jim Lange, The Anchoress, The Dread Crew of Oddwood, plus some classic local tracks from folks like Strawfyssh, Astrodot, Brian Diller, Velez Manifesto and Tilting at Windmills. And we also bring you the tune we promised last Sunday from Sgt. Van and the Highway Dogs.

Our second and third hours are an early episode of RFC International, where I play a selection of music that defies all logic and laws of nature. Just check out the playlist below and try to figure out how The Residents and Captain Beefheart fit into a show with Neil Young and Cheap Trick, and flow into Emerson Lake and Palmer and Iron Maiden.

The links in the first hour of the playlist will take you to the pages where you can learn more about each artist and buy their music or find out where to see them.
