Every weekend local music geeks unite to provide the region with 11 hours of creatively curated tunes on WOUB 1340AM, an endeavor that is known commonly as Radio Free Athens! Typically the program runs from 9 a.m. EST to 8 p.m. EST every Saturday, and can also be heard through this link.

Here is a list of the DJs slated to play on Saturday, April 6:

9 a.m. to 12 p.m. – DJ Grumpy Grandma
12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. – R@T
2 p.m. to 5 p.m. – Game
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. – Mackenzie Ellis

If you miss this weekend’s fine radio programming — shame on you! — but not really, you can hear some fine selections from each DJ’s setlist on WOUB’s Radio Free Athens Spotify playlist, available at this link.


From DJ Grumpy Grandma, 9 a.m. EDT to 12 p.m. EDT

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on the radio and oh the music I have to share! Recently I’ve fallen back in love with some older Guided By Voices albums, and my affair with Bowie’s Station to Station has yet to lose steam. I promise a pleasant show to wake up to, or, maybe, fall asleep to, this Saturday!

From R@T, 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

I have a short show this weekend. It’s Mom’s weekend in A-Camp as well as the International Street Fair. Those might influence my show as well as the 25th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death and the Nelsonville Music Festival as always.
