Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!
Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post.
Generally speaking, we present a new show every other week, at 1300 KI time, with remastered versions of our shows from five years ago in the intermediate weeks. We have pre-show music usually starting 30 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:30 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.
See you in the Cavern

13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

265 Lost in 2024
The annual review of musicians and entertainers who died in the previous 12 months was very full this year, with some spilling over into the pre and postshow sets. The core audience stayed with us, to a max of 16 for the show, and were very appreciative in the cavern.
Lost in 2024
Time for our yearly look back at those great artists that we lost in the last year. As usual, not all artists can be featured, and not all names on the roster will be instantly recognisable to everybody. All, however, have left their mark in the world of music, shaping what we hear today.

136R Lost in 2019 Remastered
A Remastered show starts off this year, as we are all still recovering from Solstice celebrations of all kinds. Updated to reflect the passage of time and to better fit the timeframe, Peter Tork got shifted to the postshow. 24 listener connections at one point, very satisfying for the first show of the year, and the audience were full of fun, as usual.
Lost In 2019
Wait, you’ll say. Aren’t you a few years late for that show?
Well—actually, no. We’ve dusted it off, polished it somewhat and are going to air it out a little in the run-up to the show a week later, which will feature those great artists we lost in 2024. But to get the new year started, we’ll take a look back five years on the 5th of January.

264 A Christmas Carol
A festive emterainment themed around Charles Dickens’ Victorian morality tale “A Christmas Carol”
Oddly enough, this show grew out of the fact that I remembered the first line of Marillion’s Childhood’s End being “and it was morning”, fitting that into Scrooge’s awakening, and the whole thing grew out of that. It came together with a bit of effort and went down very well, a good show for our last in 2024.
We all here at Radio Free D’ni wish you a very happy solstice celebration of your choice (why not choose more than one, Jul, Christmas, Old Christmas, Saturmalia…) and a good New Year. We will return on January 5th 2025.
264 A Christmas Carol
On Sunday 15th we will take as our theme the Dickensian tale of a miserly man visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve to persuade him that he needs to change his future. Our telling of A Christmas Carol will be accompanied by music to illustrate scenes from the text, some of it festive, some less so, but bringing us to a happy ending as this is our final show for 2024.
Join the team in the cavern and on the stream for our festive entertainment.
138R Tom Waits
A fine selection of tracks by Tom Waits, the grevel-voiced singer, songwriter, actor and etc. some presented by other artists. Well atteneded too, up to 18 listener connections with 16 for most of the show.
Tom Waits
This week’s show takes a look at the ongoing career of singer-songwriter Tom Waits, including some things he wrote for other artists, some things other artists have covered, and, of course, Tom Waits’ own recordings.

263 By The Book 4: Bands with names taken from literature
Our fourth set of literary songs took a different tack and here it is the bands whose names are derived from literary references. Quite a wide variety of genres with a heavy leaning towards Sixties Prog. Maybe they were the only ones reading literature and who wanted obscure punning references….
Peak 26 listener connections, a very good number for Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks to our loyal fans 🙂
By The Book, Chapter 4
This week, we will throw the book at you again. This time, we will present artists, rather than songs, with literary names. Strangelove enough, the Decameron is missing, but we’ll leave the Doors open for any Supertramps.
See you in the Cavern,
