THE NTS BREAKFAST SHOW W/ FLO

Breakfast, in Flo motion - served by Flo Dill, every Monday to Wednesday.

Resonant Joy – A Cultural Celebration in Sound Joy is a frequency, a force of resilience and connection. This mix explores diasporic joy—from the communal echoes of gospel’s soaring spirit to the pulse of gqom and jersey club. It’s joy as survival, defiance, and healing—a dancefloor woven with ancestral echoes and chaotic rythms.

Blues

NTS selects an hour of early Delta blues music, featuring early recordings of Tommy Johnson, Robert Wilkins, Skip James & others.
