For the first time in a couple or three weeks on The AIR, PopCult’s adjunct radio station, we have an afternoon of all-new-programming.
Tuesday on The AIR we deliver new episodes of Radio Free Charleston, Psychedelic Shack and The Swing Shift to our loyal listeners. You may cursor your way over and tune in at the website, or you could just stay on this page, and listen to this happy little embedded radio player…
It all kicks off at 10 AM (with a replay at 10 PM– all times EDT) with a brand-new edition of Radio Free Charleston.
This week’s show opens with a brand-new song from John Radcliff, and then, as part of our year-long celebration of Radio Free Charleston‘s 30th anniversary it morphs into a mixtape of live, local music that was recorded around Charleston by yours truly for the RFC video show between 2007 and 2010.
You’ll hear exclusive live tracks from Jeff Ellis, Lady D, Punk Jazz, The Clementines and Raymond Wallace. You’ll also be treated to twenty minutes of the Spurgy Hankins Band, recorded at The Blue Parrot. We even toss in a recording of The Paris Project, performing classic jazz at the UUC, which has never been heard since it was performed all those years ago.
You should be able to click on the episode number above the playlist that follows, and go to a page where you can download a low-res version of this week’s show.
