Tuesday on The AIR we deliver new episodes of Radio Free Charleston, and The Swing Shift to our loyal listeners. You may tune in at the website, or you could just stay on this page, and  listen to this happy little embedded radio player…

It all kicks off at 10 AM (with a replay at 10 PM– all times EDT) with a brand-new edition of Radio Free Charleston. This week’s show opens with a song from Ann Magnuson’s newly-reissued album, Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories. You can order it through her bandcamp page, which will be linked in the playlist below.

The show this week is split into three parts. First up we have newly-released, or re-released music with local ties. Then we offer up a set of relaxing instrumental music from local artists. Lastly, in the spirit of our 30th anniversary archival dig, we bring you a set of live music by The Mad Scientist Club, recorded out in the middle of nowhere about twenty-five years ago.

I’m going to try to link the names in the playlist so that you can buy the music we play this week. And as is our new tradition, I’m going to upload the show to YouTube, and put the resulting video right here…

So now, check out the playlist:
