Good Trouble with Steve Caplan, Ben Vaughn and Steve Chambers (Mondays at 10pm) - Music addressing themes of freedom, social injustice, racial inequality, and activism in terms both overt and covert, obscure and apparent, direct and tangential.
Left of Soul with Timantha (alternate Saturdays at 12pm) - An exploration of the quirkier, experimental, and avant-garde corners of modern soul and R&B music.
Play it By Ear with Hope and Pippa (alternate Mondays at 7pm) - Every episode has a general theme that is discussed in depth through personal anecdotes and music program. Each theme is curated with songs ranging from different genres (mainly classical and pop/indie), connecting to the theme through storytelling and perspective as young classical musicians that perform this repertoire in the DMV.
