The best crop of Connecticut-connected music presented for a global audience.

The Underdogs Edge will feature local hip hop artists across the region with tracks from mainstream artists normally not played on the radio.

Looking at the arts and culture through an abstract prism. Radio Obscura aims to replace the tiny voice inside your head with new better voices.

No talk. No jokes. You're getting 60 minutes (ok, 53 with breaks) of eclectic delights, but here's the twist: every week's playlist will form a story based on a theme which is both specific and universal.
