We are Tuesdaying it up again on The AIR  and that means it’s time for a new  Radio Free Charleston. 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.  

Due to looming magazine deadlines we have one new hour and two hours of RFC International from 2019 today on Radio Free Charleston this week. Our first hour is loaded with new releases from West Virginia artists, plus lotsa other cool stuff from indie artists and more.

Our second and third hours revive an old Radio Free Charleston International from February 2019, and it’s a great mix of stuff from all over with the added bonus of being co-hosted by my lovely wife, Mel Larch.  Since Mel joined me for Valentine’s week, I loaded it up with some of her favorite musics.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store. Live links for the first hour will take you to the artist’s pages so you can find out more about them, buy their music and find out where to see them perform live…

Now you can also hear a different episode of RFC every weekday at 5 PM, and we bring you a marathon all night long Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I’m also going to  embed a low-fi, mono version of this show right in this post, right here so you can listen on demand.

 

After RFC, stick around for encores of last week’s episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.  At 3 PM we’re going to bring you the second two parts of the History of Swing, which ran from episode 99 to episode 103 on The Swing Shift. We’ll plan to return with new episodes of The Swing Shift next week.
