Tuesday on The AIR we deliver new episodes of Radio Free Charleston andNOISE BRIGADE and re-present a couple of recent editions of The Swing Shift to our loyal listeners. You may point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay on this page, and  listen to this happy little embedded radio player…

We have yet another mostly-new three-hour Radio Free Charleston at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.  By “mostly-new” I mean that the first hour is all-new and all-local, kicking off with a brand new track by Charleston band, Rel-X.

However, your PopCulteer (and radio host) is a bit under the weather this week, or more precisely, under the Myasthenia Gravis, so I decided to use the second and third hours of this week’s show to re-present an episode of Radio Free Charleston International from 2016, which hasn’t been heard since early 2017.  It’s a little bit of a cheat, but it’s also a great show that I think new listners will enjoy, and old listeners have probably forgotten.

Check out the playlist…
