Revisit RFC Volume Five, Episode 2 on The AIR

Radio Free Charleston is not new Tuesday 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.

This week we  go back into the vault and bring you the second episode of Radio Free Charleston Volume Five, from January, 2020. The reason for this encore episode being here is twofold.

First…your humble blogger and radio host is in New York City. I was here yesterday, too, and Monday is when I usually record the show. The Big Apple beckoned, so something had to give.

Second…it wasn’t until the 39th episode of RFC Volume Five that I began embedding the show in the blog. Before that, you had to tune in to The AIR while it was running.  Now you can catch them on demand. The problem with that is that the first 38 episodes have not been available on demand…yet.

When I have to take rare week off from doing the show, I’ll schedule a replay of an early episode here and embed it for posterity. I already did that with our first episode last year, and this week I’m doing it with our second. I’m still playing catch-up with that.

Since I don’t take that many weeks off from doing the show, I will probably start embedding the early editions of RFC V5 in The RFC Flashback next year, until we’re all caught up. I’ll also go back and insert them in the original posts, for those of you who want to follow them in chronological order or something.

I’ll be back with a new episode next week.

Check out this playlist, without inks to the artist’s page s because I wasn’t doing that yet, either…
