We are happy to be ten days into the new year this week on The AIR  as we premiere a 33 and 1/3 new edition of Radio Free Charleston! 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 elsewhere on this page.

We’ve created another new/old hybrid for you this week that you can hear at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday. The first hour is filled with new, local music. Hours two and three bring you a five-year-old episode of Radio Free Charleston International that hasn’t been heard anywhere for more than four years.

A cool bonus is that our first hour consists entirely of newly-released music. You’ll hear new stuff from Jim Lange, The Switch, Beauty In Chaos, Iggy Pop, Blue Twisted Steel and many more cool and largely local acts.

For our second and third hours I went back and dug up an episode of Radio Free Charleston International  from January 2018. I’m not doing links for the second two hours because they’re not local or indie artists, and my fingers are all tuckered out from that drawing I did of Mel for Monday Morning Art yesterday.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store (live links will take you to the artist’s pages where possible)…
