Tuesday is always a great day to tune into The AIR  and today we prove it with a new episode of Radio Free Charleston to prepare you for the holiday of Love coming up this weekend. This week we have a new edition of The Swing Shift, too! 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 three full hours of newly-assembled music. We open with new tunes from Frenchy & The Punk and Ghoulbox, and fill the remainder of the first two hours with love-heavy songs from local and independent artists, just to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day on Saturday.

Our third hour is a Valentine-themed MYSTERY BONUS TRACK MIXTAPE with a very appropriate, yet very specific theme…that you will have to tune in to discover.

Although there may be hints somewhere. Our feature image, in part, uses a design from episode 155 of our video show, “Love Robot Shirt,” which was a TeeFury design by artist, Rebekie B.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page, where available…

You can hear this episode of Radio Free Charleston Tuesday at 10 AM and 10 PM on The AIR, with replays Wednesday at 9 AM,  Thursday at 2 PM, Friday at 9 AM, Saturday at Noon and Midnight, Sunday at 8 PM and  Monday at 11 AM, exclusively on The AIR. Now you can also hear a different classic episode of RFC every weekday at 5 PM, and we bring you a marathon all night long Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I’m also going to  embed a low-fi, mono version of this show right in this post, right here so you can listen on demand.

 

After RFC, stick around for encores of last week’s episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.

At 3 PM get ready for a new edition of The Swing Shift. Since I’m in the mood to be all mysterious today, all I’m gonna tell about this show is that, of course, it Swings like crazy, but it also features a solid hour of music by an unlikely Swing musician. You’ll just have to tune in to be surprised by who it is. You might find this show irrisistible.

 You can hear The Swing Shift Tuesday at 3 PM, with replays Wednesday at 8 AM, Thursday at 9 AM,  Friday at 10 AM and 8 PM and Saturday afternoon, only on The AIR . You can also hear all-night marathons, seven hours each, starting at Midnight Thursdays and Sundays.
