Just because it’s the last Tuesday of February, that don’t mean it ain’t “New Show Day” on The AIR.  As such, we have a totally new episode of  Radio Free Charleston for you. 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.

The week we bring you three full hours of our free-format blend of local, independent, alternative, weird and whatever else I feel like playing music.

New music this week includes tunes from J. Marinelli, Emmalea Deal & The Hot Mess, Kate Hudson, The Wombats, Manic Street Preachers, The M.F.B., Todd Burge, The Settlement, Dinosaur Burps, The Lumineers, The Heavy Hitters Band, Dark Entities, Shining Glass, SPACE FREQ and more.

We also dig into the local archives and dredge up some other classic tracks from God only knows where.

This is the kind of radio I always dreamt about making.

The links in the playlist will take you to the pages for the artists in this week’s show where possible.
