RFA’s 64 kbps stream will be migrated to a new server during the 2-hour maintenance window from May 5 @10:00 PM EDT until May 6 @12:00 AM EDT. The 64 kbps stream may experience up to 45 minutes of downtime. Please note that RFA’s 128 kbps stream will not be impacted. We recommend listening to the 128 kbps stream during this period.
$1000 MATCH OPPORTUNITY with YOUR $1 DONATION!
Fractured Atlas (RFA’s fiscal sponsor) is having its Spring Match campaign, when they give 20 of their fiscally sponsored projects an extra $1000. Every individual one-time donation of ANY amount that RFA receives from Monday, May 4, 12:01 AM ET through Friday, May 8, 11:59 PM ET is automatically entered into a pool to receive $1000. The more individual donations RFA gets, the more eligible entries we will receive. (A $1.00 donation and a $100.00 donation each count as 1 pool entry, so no amount is too small!) Shortly after the match week, Fractured Atlas will randomly select 20 projects from the eligible pool to receive $1000. You can support RFA and increase our odds of receiving the much-needed $1000 bonus by making your donation HERE. Thank you.
SUPPORT RFA
Preliminary financial results for the first 6 months of 2025 show a 15% decrease in listener donations (our only source of revenue) and a 34% increase in expenses compared to the same period last year. Please note that RFA’s expenses include zero salaries and wages, with the majority of expenses comprising royalties paid to artists/rights holders and the infrastructure (network, computers, etc.) required to deliver the music. Please support RFA by donating at https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/radio-free-americana. With no corporate overlords, a little bit goes a long way.
Thanks, cat

Please support Asheville, North Carolina-based MANNA FoodBank with your donation at https://mannafoodbank.org. The fine folks of western Carolina really need our help. (It’s no triviality that the region contributes mightily to the music we love.) Thank you.
