Later today you will see a photo essay of a quick trip your PopCulteer took to New York City over the weekend. We got back very late Sunday, and yours truly had a lot to catch up on Monday, so there was no time to record a new Radio Free Charleston. However, I have Wednesday free, and a new RFC will debut Thursday afternoon at 2 PM, and then will be repeated in the regular timeslot next week so I can take care of some medical appointments and stuff.  Today we dug up a special treat for you in lieu of a new episode.

To listen to all of the fine programming on The AIR  you simply have to point your cursor over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay on this page, and  listen to the cool embedded player over at the top of the right column.

Tuesday at 2 PM and 10 PM you will hear the sixth episode of  RFC Volume 5, from February, 2020. The show has a few live tunes from The Swivel Rockers, as well as a spectuactular mix of music, both local and not. This is a pre-pandemic time capsule, for those who wish to relive the good old days.

Check out the playlist below, and then be sure to read PopCult on Thursday for all the notes on an all-new, three-hour episode of RFC, to help you slide into the weekend.
