The new year brings with it a new schedule on The AIR, and Tuesday brings new episodes of Radio Free Charleston, Psychedelic Shack and The Swing Shift. You can listen at the website, or on this embedded radio player…

While we have revamped our schedule, the new music on Tuesday is pretty much the same as it was. You can still hear the new episode of Radio Free Charleston at 10 AM and 10 PM. Psychedelic Shack will be new at 2 PM. The Swing Shift will be new at 3 PM.

Changes are that the previous week’s edition of Psychedelic Shack will air at 9 AM; The Swing Shift will now occupy a three-hour timeslot from 3 PM to 6 PM, with the new hour followed by two previous shows, and we will present two classic hours of Radio Coolsville, with DJ Betty Rock at 6 PM.

This week Radio Free Charleston presents a bunch of new local music from the likes of Bad Keys of the Mountain, Brooke Brown, John Radcliff and William Matheny, plus we plan to dig back into the archives for one or two classic broadcast-era songs in 2019, since this is our (GASP) thirtieth anniversary year.

Follow the jump for more details and playlist’s for today’s new programs.
