A seamless hour of experimental music curated and presented by Freddie Rose. With minimal talking and a focus on avant-garde and underground music, Experimental Jet Set harkens back to the college radio stations in the United States and UK in the 20th century, whose dedication to music below the mainstream championed and gave a voice to generations of experimental, alternative musicians and art-rockers - including Sonic Youth, whose 1994 album the show's name is derived from.
"College stations saw promulgation of lesser-heard groups as their responsibility; their sacred mission. They were staffed by music enthusiasts who worked without pay, and who saw college rock as a desperately needed alternative to the platinum tedium of “classic” and Top 40 drivel." - Ian Svenonius
