The FreeSpace

The FreeSpace Ep 17

January 23, 2022 by Balcony Radio Leave a Comment

Freeform radio: (noun) radio station programming format in which the disc jockey is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. Sounds like music to the ears at Balcony Radio. Here’s our testament to playing whatever we want when we want: The FreeSpace episode 17. Your hosts each provide 50% of the show. You’ve been warned.

The Free Space Ep 16

March 22, 2021 by Balcony Radio Leave a Comment

Once upon a time a radio format was created to counter the screaming, puking, gutteral sounds of AM radio, heavy formatting and repetitive 2 minute songs. It was Free Form radio and it put personality into each program by giving the power to the DJ. For epsiode 16 of our tribute to said format the power is put into each of your host’s hands. We each pick half the show and mix it together in a tasty bouillabaisse. It could get weird so be ready for some crazy twists and turns. We’re very inspired.
