Welcome to the first installment of Interludes, where we collect the music you hear between news stories and shows. The page is a response to one of the most asked questions we get here at CapRadio. "What was that song I heard during..." and has been long in the making.
Using the player below, click on individual tracks or hit play and let the list cycle through all 101 pieces. Beneath the player you'll find a detailed list of each piece and the artists behind them.
Artist
"Song"
Album (Year of Release)
Record Label
Embeded within the Record Label field is a purchase link to the album. We did our very best to link directly to the official artist or label so your purchase directly supports the music you love (just like a public radio donation). You'll occasionally find an a link to Amazon in the case of rare or out-of-print releases.
This collection includes the music interludes played by the CapRadio hosts during shows and programming we control. It doesn't have the music used by hosts of NPR, American Public Media, BBC or other progams aired on the CapRadio News and Music stations.
We hope you'll discuss your favorite tracks, ask us questions and interact in the comment section below. Enjoy!
