From the Isle of Music, Oct 1-7:
This week, our special guest is drummer/composer/bandleader Ruly Herrera, whose album Real Project won the Cubadisco Award in 2017 in the Jazz Ensembles category. We’ll talk about the project and listen to some of the album. Also, we will listen to some of two other Cubadisco nominees.
Four opportunities to listen on shortwave:
1. For Eastern Europe but audible well beyond the target area in most of the Eastern Hemisphere (including parts of East Asia and Oceania) with 100Kw, Sunday 1500-1600 UTC on SpaceLine, 9400 KHz, from Kostinbrod, Bulgaria (1800-1900 MSK)

From the Isle of Music is not available for listening on demand but some broadcasts can be heard online during the time of the broadcast using Web SDRs or the WBCQ website (during their broadcast) if you are not receiving the radio signal.

Playing with FYROM:
Episode 30 of Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot will be mostly some great music from The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (or FYROM). Some of the best folkloric music in the world comes from there.
Sunday, October 1 at 2200-2230 UTC (6:00pm-6:30pm EDT US) on WBCQ 7490 Khz, right after Marion’s Attic, and right before a rebroadcast of Ramsey’s Furthermore 29/54 and then Harry Shearer’s Le Show.  Check us all out, and you’ll have no reason to complain about what’s on….
