Once again we have come to Tuesday on The AIR  and for the first time in a few weeks we deliver unto you a one-third-new, three-hour  episode of Radio Free Charleston.  You simply have to poke 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 (If you’re reading PopCult on a desktop, that is. Phone readers have to go to the website).

We have yet another  hybrid edition of Radio Free Charleston at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.  This week we open with a full hour of local, independent and new music, which you can find your way to purchase by following the links in the playlist below.  The show begins with Ann Magnuson’s cover of David Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream,” and then we have new tracks from three Chicago indie bands (one by way of North Carolina now), Kerosene Stars, Walcot and Cosmic Bull. The rest of hour one is filled with crunchy musical lovliness, both local and not.

Our second and third hours are comprised of an episode of Radio Free Charleston International from early 2017. Five years back I was really taking the whole “free format radio” thing seriously and delivered a head-scratching two hours of excellent music which flows together better than it has any right to.

Check out the playlist below to see all the goodies we have in store (live links will take you to the artist’s pages where possible)…
