(PRODUCER NOTE: The audio is a bit blown out at first due to the recording setup, it has been adjusted for loudness but there was not much to be done about the distortion. It calms down significantly and is back to normal after the first minute or so but just be forewarned.)

In the spring of 1807, nineteen years after the initial creation of Market Street, Charleston’s municipal government faced a looming deadline to complete the proposed but long-delayed public marketplace. To avoid a second forfeiture of the extensive property donated by generous neighbors, City Council launched a rapid series of construction projects and drafted a landmark ordinance, the text of which defined the culture of urban food sales for the ensuing century.



Episode 310: Charleston's Centre Market, Established 1807

Step inside the sonic laboratory of Soviet Ukraine’s Kyivnaukfilm (Eng: Kyiv Science Film, active years 1941-1993) studio — a workshop where composers and sound designers crafted scores for documentary, science, education, and animation films. From eerie synth textures to inventive tape collages, these rare recordings (1967–1990) reveal a secret world of avant-garde music created under censorship yet brimming with experiments.

From the host: "Explore the hidden gems of the Melodia label — the only major record label across the former Eastern Bloc: from the far east of Mongolia to the Baltic coast of Estonia. Once forgotten on dusty shelves and in flea markets, these sounds are now being rediscovered."
