Tuesday is NEW RFC DAY on The AIR  and today, just like we copied and pasted from last week,  it most certainly is again as we bring you a brand-new first hour of Radio Free Charleston combined with an episode of RFC Volume Four that hasn’t been heard in nine years. 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.

Radio Free Charleston brings you a new show with a killer first hour that opens with a track from Cricketman, a Ska band from Huntington that I just found out about last week, and continues with new music from the likes of The Moon My Twin, Joe Jackson, Los Grainders, The Tentakills, Mega Ran, Duck City Music, The Anchoress, Foreign Kids, The Heavy Hitters, The Holler Hounds and The newly-formed Matt Berry Trio.

We cover the gamut from Ska to Rock to Surf to Prog to Rap, Soul, Jazz, Trance and more, and that’s just in the first hour.

Because I have several more routine, but time-consuming, medical things to do early this week, for our second and third hours I decided to reach into the archives and bring you a classic, two-hour, episode of Radio Free Charleston Volume Four that premiered in May, 2016.

This time it’s a really cool show that debuted exactly ten years ago this week, and, like last week,  this episode of RFC Volume Four has not been heard since late, 2016.

Check out this playlist, with links to the artist’s page in the first hour…
