Tuesday on The AIR we dive into the archives for classic episodes of Radio Free Charleston, NOISE BRIGADE and The Swing Shift.  If you want to hear the timeless swellness yourself, you simply have to move 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.

We have a compilation edition of Radio Free Charleston at 10 AM and 10 PM Tuesday.  This week we go back to February, 2017, to bring you three of our one-hour, all-local music programs, combined into one big three-hour local music extravaganza.

The inside story is that, back in February, 2017 yours truly had some rather extensive medical testing done concerning my then-recent diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Because I know that these would be time-consuming and physically draining, I sat down on one day during the first week of the month, and recorded three episodes of RFC, back-to-back-to-back. Then I scheduled them ahead of time so that there would be fresh episodes of the show to run while I was gettting poked, prodded and shocked.

This week I am tied up with other projects (including restoring PopCult’s early posts to their original state) and found myself with not enough time to do new radio shows. So I came up with this clever plan, since these episodes of RFC volume four have not been heard by human ears since the middle of 2017.

Check out the playlist to see all the goodies we bring you this week…
