The history of human space exploration has a soundtrack. From sentimental love songs to stadium rock and ethereal folk songs to sixties pop, music has been a constant from the very earliest manned space missions. NASA has a long and storied history of playing rock for astronauts working in the heavens. While capsule communicators a.k.a. CAPCOM might not be waking astronauts to the roaring guitar of Megadeth, there is plenty of great rock n’ roll that has had astronauts tapping their space boots. Catch our “Manned Space Flight Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner; a day Americans have set aside for not just overeating and drowning out family with televised sporting events. It is also a time of giving thanks and taking stock, perhaps, in that for which we should be grateful; whether it's that mound of extra whipped cream on our second piece of pumpkin pie or life itself. With that in mind, the School of Rock has put together a show with songs about family and being thankful that should blend perfectly with your holiday celebration. Catch our “Thanksgiving Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

For this week’s show, we shine our artist spotlight on the Eagles, who were unquestionably the biggest mainstream American rock band to emerge in the 1970s. Not only did they sell more records and concert tickets than their peers, but they captured the shifting zeitgeist of the '70s, riding the country-rock hippie hangover at the end of the '60s until it reached the slick pop/rock of Southern California in the late '70s. We’ll take a closer look at the history of the Eagles, from their formation in the early 1970s to their rise to fame to their breakup and beyond. Catch our “Artist Spotlight: Eagles Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.
