We are back from a trip that caused us to miss bringing you a new episode last week, and to make up for that, we created three hours of brand-new Radio Free Charleston  that can hear today on The AIR.  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.

It’s a free-format extravaganza as we open this week’s show with a new track from The M.F.B. We also have brand-new tunes from Matt Berry with Project Gemini, AJ Rosales (his new single coming out on June 20), The Settlement, The Heavy Editors, J. Marinelli, Corduroy Brown, Bono, Skunk Anansie, Sparks anhd more.

Within our show we also have sets of The Blues, New Wave-ish music and vintage local gems from the late 1980s/early 1990s.

Throughout the show, you can hear a little bit about my wonderful vacation and the less-than-wonderful return trip home.

The emotional scars of the Indianapolis Amtrak station will take some time to heal.

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists who have websites.
