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

A hint of techno, on Listening Lyrics, Dec. 5, 2025

Fri, 12/05/2025 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

94675327-EC83-4C11-B9E2-731E896ADBEE.png

This week on the show, we’re stirring things up with a playlist that carries just a hint of techno. Not a full dive into the club scene—more like the perfect recipe where a pinch of something unexpected transforms the whole dish. A subtle pulse here, a shimmering synth there… just enough to wake up your senses without stealing the spotlight.

So settle in, get comfortable, and let these rhythms sneak up on you in the best possible way. It’s a little familiar, a little futuristic, and absolutely worth the ride. Enjoy the mix.
