The Skybird Drive in | The SWLing Post

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s a couple of programmes we’ve lined up for you this week.

We bring you Downbeat on Shortwave on Saturday 5th July 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 6th July 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). Guest DJs Jesse Yuen and One Deck Pete bring you two 15 minute downtempo mixes each of some ambient and downtempo vibes to help you drift away. Expect some blissful vibes for a Sunday.

And we’ve got an episode of the SkyBird Drive in Radio on Wednesday 9th July 2025 via WRMI.

Make yourself a tasty snack (hot dogs, tacos, ice cream or burgers) and turn on that in-car shortwave AM radio for the full sound experience. Imagine you’re in a big cadillac, tilt your seat back (but not too far) and enjoy all sorts of cinema related tunes as you would in an outdoor experience (unless you are listening to the radio outdoors). Enjoy our evening’s programming.

Here’s a trailer about the Skybird Drive in to get you in that cinematic mood.
