Diverse Radio

The whole time that Fresh Air broadcasts, we are committed to diversity in our programming. With over 65 different shows a week, an unrestrictive music policy and our very own alternative playlist, you will hear different music and chat from what is available on any other radio station. Fresh Air also has its own in-house news programming, as well as an arts team producing arts discussion and comment, comedy and drama.

Events

Throughout the year, Fresh Air puts on events and club nights open to everyone, for example the huge Club Together, which brings some of Edinburgh’s biggest club DJs together under one roof, and its sister event, Indie Club Together. Events are very varied with anything from  band nights to swing dance to speed dating and charity auctions.
