Tuesday is NEW RFC DAY on The AIR  and today it most certainly is again as we bring you a brand-new first hour of Radio Free Charleston combined with an episode of RFC Volume Four that hasn’t been heard in nine years. 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.

Radio Free Charleston brings you a new show with a killer first hour that opens and closes with Lady D.  Your humble blogger and his wife made it out to The Roq, underneath The Quarrier Diner, last Saturday and caught an amazing three-hour set by Lady D and Mi$$ion, and it was so incredible that I knew I’d have to open this week’s show with her music.

Our first hour also includes brand-new tracks from The Heavy Hitterrs, Corduroy Brown, Duck City Music, The Moon My Twin and Joe Jackson!

Because I have several routine, but time-consuming, medical things to do early this week, for our second and third hours I decided to reach into the archives and bring you a classic, two-hour, episode of Radio Free Charleston Volume Four that premiered in May, 2016.  Here’s what I wrote about it then:

We bring you two hours of great local music, this week featuring debut tunes from Todd Burge, Timothy Truman and Under Surveillance, plus classic cuts from the RFC archives by Lady D, The Tom McGees, Out of Nowhere, Dr. Curmudgeon and more.

This episode of RFC Volume Four has not been heard since late, 2016.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page in the first hour…
