Arts Underground

Arts Underground is like no other public radio show. Host Katy Ganaway takes an hour to excavate some of the beautiful oddities that lie just beneath the surface in north Alabama and around the world. Discover music from artists who span a diverse variety of genres and eras, get a behind the scenes look as we spotlight folks in the Tennessee Valley's local music and comedy scenes, and meet local makers, crafters and other creatives who add color and brightness to our rapidly-growing community.

Arts Underground airs Saturday on WLRH at 2 PM. You can also listen any time on the free WLRH mobile app, or on our website, as a podcast.
