Radio Free Raleigh

Bookmark and Share


If you're looking for a radio station that's free-form but leans toward jazz, man, are you ever in luck. Say howdy and lend an ear to taintradio.org -- an online station that debuted last week with the slogan, "We're revolting," playing everything from spoken-word master Ken Nordine to African superstar Youssou N'Dour. Bob Rogers and Dave Tilley, longtime public-radio fixtures in the Triangle, are among the ringleaders; and for now, at least, the all-volunteer station's sole source of income is an online tip jar.

Anyway, take a listen...

Thanks for the mention - this is radio as it should be, and perhaps never has been. And as I say at my post on www.raleighrambles.com, you have no frigging idea what might be coming next - not because it's random, but because the wonderful contributor djs are hooking us up with stuff we didn't know about but are loving to hear.
