This week’s show opens in deep-freeze mode—winter tunes for everyone frozen from the Deep South to Minneapolis, with snow on the ground and treacherous ice everywhere.

This week’s show takes off on a special route—an hour-long flight aboard Jamaican Airlines, cruising through reggae and ska covers of classic soul. After departure from Motown, we ease into island time with smooth rocksteady rhythms and ska shuffles that reimagine familiar favorites. Along the way, we touch down in Detroit, Memphis, Chicago, and Muscle Shoals, with quick layovers in Omaha, Minneapolis, Boston, and L.A. It’s a laid-back but deeply grooving journey that slows the pace without losing the heartbeat. Fasten your seatbelt, settle in, and enjoy the ride—this flight is all soul, island-style.New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 4pm (Central) and replay on Thursdays at 5pm (Central) on www.workingclassradio.com.Playlists and extended archives are found at www.mixcloud.com/djmodmyke.
