Artisan Radio Schedule


Weekdays

Artisan Radio programming is in a 6 hour block, repeated 4 times each day.  The only exceptions are the Lost Jukebox show - which consists of random selections from every song that made the Billboard Charts from 1955 to 1966, every song that bubbled under the Billboard Charts for that period, and some obscure tunes thrown in for good measure - and The Best Jazz show, which consists of random jazz selections from the 1920s to the 1950s.

* See descriptions of all shows below.  Hosted shows during the week are Wilson Beach Radio Mondays, Teenage Dreams & Slightly Bent alternating Tuesdays, Beautiful Sounds Wednesdays, 101 Below or Wired For Sound Thursdays and The Vinyl Jukebox Fridays.  These shows are repeated as indicated during the weekend.

(Lost) Jukebox.  Every single that made the Billboard charts for the period 1957 to 1966, including those that bubbled under the Hot 100.  It should be noted that the Bubbling Under charts did not exist until 1959.  Add to that a mix of singles that didn't make the charts at all (deservedly or not) for the period 1963 to 1974.  Most of these are truly The Best (or at the very least, interesting) Music You've Probably Never Heard.

Old Time Radio.  Programming from the golden age of radio, such as Command Performance, Superman, Fred Allen and lots more.

The Best Jazz.  1920s to the 1950s vintage jazz from all the greats.

Wilson Beach Radio.  Hosted by Jeff Bleiel, this show features both popular and obscure music by the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson and friends.

Teenage Dreams.  Music from the teenage Top 40 era of the late 1950s to the early and mid 1960s.  Hosted by "Big Wave" Dave.

Slightly Bent.  Unique and interesting music from the 1950s through to today.  Hosted by "Big Wave" Dave.

Beautiful Sounds.  Easy listening music from the 1960s and 1970s.  Hosted by John Francis

Wired For Sound.  The music of Sir Cliff Richard & friends.  Hosted by Jeff Bleiel.

101 Below.  Hosted by John Francis, the show features music from the 1960s that got some and airplay and sales, but didn't make the U.S. Billboard Hot 100; therefore, they charted at #101 or below.

Rock Around the Rockpile.  Features the music of Rockpile, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds and associated artists.  Hosted by John Francis.

The Vinyl Jukebox.  "Big Wave" Dave sits in the studio and plays a bunch of 45's (with no audio processing, you get to hear them in all their original glory).

The Oompah Hour.  Also known as the Old Time Oldies Show.  Polka exclusively from vinyl!  Hosted by Tim Edwards
