Thursdays at 10:00pm Baton Rouge Community Radio is pleased to welcome The Scenario Radio Show to 96.9FM. The Scenario comes to us from Radio Free Nashville and is a two-hour, weekly program “created to provide a forum for the ‘original Hip-Hop generation’. It includes music, interviews, and discussion on a wide range of topics, including politics, entertainment, relationships, and the variety of social issues that captivate our attention, from day to day. This is Hip-Hop Grown Up. That’s The Scenario.”

Recent topics include the African immigrant experience in the U.S., counseling, therapy and mental health in the black community, and the self-conceptions African-Americans have about themselves. Archives of past episodes are available here.

Baton Rouge Community Radio welcomes Le Show, the hour-long weekly satire, current events, and music program hosted by Harry Shearer (voice of a bunch of The Simpsons, band member of Spinal Tap, among other things). The show, often recorded in New Orleans, features a scathing and absurd take on the scathing and absurd times we live in. ‘Copyrighted features of the broadcast’ include News of the Warm, Karzai Talk, News of the Olympic Movement and News of the Godly. Mr. Shearer is also known to read from trade magazines, slide into momentary impressions of Tom Brokaw, bash the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and nuclear power industry, play Brazilian Bossa Nova and his own unique musical compositions. You’ve just got to check it out.

You can hear Le Show here in Baton Rouge on 96.9FM every Tuesday from 6:00 to 7:00pm.

Baton Rouge Community Radio brings you another new, live local show! Tune in Friday, April 28th at six o’clock for the world premiere of Off the Record with Leah Smith. The live weekly one-hour show will feature the pop and crackle of vintage vinyl records, ’50s and ’60s rock and R&B, and girl groups. For all who who’ve missed your Friday night live rock appointment with Girl Power, we’re proud to bring you Off the Record. It’s going to be fun.
