Radio Thrift Shop features a flexible format & is an homage to the "underground" era of broadcasts of the 1960's and 1970's that DJ Frederick grew up listening to. RTS features a homegrown mix of vinyl records, 78s, 45's, LPs, private press releases, and a variety of cassette tapes and homemade / self released cds. Each broadcast of Radio Thrift Shop features an improvised playlist from DJ Frederick's music library
Radio Thrift Shop is a homegrown, homespun show created and produced by DJ Frederick (who has a face for radio) and broadcast since 1999 on WSCS 90.9 in New London NH Saturday evenings from 10 pm until midnight eastern time. DJ Frederick has been broadcasting at WSCS for 21+ years & 45 years on the airwaves overall and surprisingly, they still let me use the microphone. DJ Frederick has hosted radio programs at one time or another on WNEC, WBCQ, WRMI The Global Voice Channel 292 and Radio 510 shortwave in Europe.
Radio Thrift Shop - homemade and homegrown radio - digs into DJ Frederick's musical archives & often revolve around specific themes (i.e. Forgotten 45's, cover songs, library music) & other times are completely improvised live on the air. RTS features 33's, 45's, scratchy 78's, classic cassettes & cds. I enjoy spinning classic rock and pop, jazz, exotica, folk, acoustic, folk-rock, indie pop, lo-fi, psychedelic, jam bands, library, easy listening & just about everything else I can dig out of the crates. Hopefully it all makes sense by the end of the hour. Occasionally these shows include documentaries or segments about the history and culture of music and/or radio. I invite your LPFM, Part 15, online or other radio project to include Radio Thrift Shop in your schedule. I've been on the air for 21 years at WSCS which is the "home base" for this show. WSCS broadcasts in New London NH at 90.9 and online at classicalwscs.org.
DJ Frederick feels much gratitude for listeners and community / non-commercial radio supporters everywhere. Thank you for listening or broadcasting or downloading this homemade homebrewed DIY show.
