Radio Thrift Shop features a flexible format & is an homage to the "underground" era of broadcasting of the 1960's and 1970's that DJ Frederick grew up with. 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 episodes dig into DJ Frederick's musical archives & sometimes revolve around specific themes (i.e. Forgotten 45s, cover songs) & other times are completely unplanned. RTS features 33s, 45s, scratchy 78s, classic cassettes & cds. I enjoy spinning classic rock and pop, jazz, exotica, folk, acoustic, folk-rock, indie pop, lo-fi, psychedelic, library, easy listening & just about everything else I can dig out of the crates. Sometimes it all makes sense by the end of the hour - or sometimes it is a freeform mess. You decide. 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 broadcast Radio Thrift Shop. This is a labor of love! With much gratitude to listeners and radio fans everywhere ~ DJ Frederick
