Live Thursday 7-9pm

Replays Saturday 9-11pm

DJ(s):

Jim Buchanan

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Replays Sunday 9-11am

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

Reggae Cruise

Reggae music from over 100 nations highlighting the global reach and how the components have contributed to its evolution with a focus on the 21st century. No dancehall.

Live Friday 11pm-Saturday 12am

Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm

Replays Sunday 7-8am

DJ(s):

In the Key of Folk

In the Key of Folk with Karen Leyse offers music that will keep you humming or dancing along — perhaps both! The focus is on traditional and current folk music, Americana, and bluegrass, with Celtic, Nordic, and Spanish infusions — wherever Karen's travels and interests take her. In addition, the music of contra dance, an American Folk tradition that came with English and other settlers, will often be threaded through the hour. Don’t know it? Check it out.

Live Wednesday 2-3pm

Replays Tuesday 11am-12pm

On this afternoon's In the Key of Folk, we'll play a couple of tracks from the new album by banjoists extraordinaire, Alison Brown and Steve Martin, along with several other nice new releases. Then we'll walk down a dark twisty trail to visit with some rather sinister songs of long ago, all in honor of this Friday. Traditional, but not always so sweet. Enjoy, my little dearies!
