Get ready for three hours of largely brand-new music and a creepily low-pitched announcer on a new Radio Free Charleston  that you 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, (all times EDT) with boatloads of replays throughout the week.

It’s another free-format extravaganza as we present three hours of incredible music, along with an announcer (that’s me) who has too much fun with his unnaturally low voice that he got from a summer cold.

In this show you will hear brand new music from Golden, Brian Diller, Gloria Gaynor, J Marinelli, Novelty Island, The M.F.B., The Settlement, Byzantine, Madness,  Sparks, Mr. Romance, Roger Waters and more.

You will also get mini-sets of different styles of music like Ska, Spookiness, Long songs and music with the word “June” somehow involved.

Plus you get the RFC debut of June Swoon, who I got to see last Thursday at The Shop in Dunbar (on the bill with Hello June and Nolan Ellis Collins). It was a great night out and we made it home before 11 PM. I talk a lot about that in the show.

I also talk a lot about having an unfamiliar voice come out of my mouth due to a narsty summer cold. Expect the jokes to get tired quickly.

Check out this playlist, and follow the links to the artist’s pages (where possible).

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 the most recent episodes of  MIRRORBALL at 1 PM and Curtain Call at 2 PM.

At 3 PM we give you an encore of two recent episodes of The Swing Shift. I had planned to do a new episode, but my voice wouldn’t hold up.

 You can hear The Swing Shift Tuesday at 3 PM, with replays Wednesday at 8 AM, Friday at 10 AM and 8 PM and Saturday afternoon, only on The AIR . You can also hear all-night marathons, seven hours each, starting at Midnight Thursday and Sunday evenings.
