Radio Free Charleston and The Swing Shift both present new episodes today on The AIR. You can also hear the return of Nigel Pye and Psychedelic Shack. We’ll have changes to the schedule all week on our internet radio station. You can tune in at The AIR website, or just listen on this little embedded radio doohickey…
At 10 AM and 10 PM our latest Radio Free Charleston offers up another great hour of the best local music we can get our grubby little hands on. The show kicks off with brand new music from the reunited band, In The Company of Wolves. We continue with a mix of new and classic tracks from local bands, and we even feature a set of experimental music that might surprise regular listeners to the show.

At 2 PM, replacing Ska Madness, we finally witness the return of Nigel Pye and Psychedelic Shack. This week and next we’ll revisit the original four half-hour episodes of this showcase for Psychedelic Rock, but after that each week will see Nigel present an all-new hour of mind-altering and mood-expanding music from his home base at Haversham Recording Institute.
We hate to see Dexter Checkers and Ska Madness go, but Dexter had to give up the show earlier this year for health reasons, and the door is wide open for him to return as soon as he’s able. We are still ironing out the schedule for the replays of Psychedelic Shack, so keep reading PopCult for the latest.

Our most-listened to program, with loyal followers in Europe, China and India, celebrates the soon-to-happen Live On The Levee with The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
