Tune into CiTR--Folk Oasis for a deep and refreshing dive into the vast, often overlooked landscapes of folk music, far from the campfire sing-alongs. Curated by the team at CiTR & Discorder Magazine, this podcast explores the genre's rich intersections with contemporary society and culture, highlighting artists and traditions that push boundaries and tell compelling stories. Each episode feels like a curated mixtape or a late-night radio discovery, blending music with thoughtful commentary that examines the roots and evolving branches of folk. You'll hear everything from haunting traditional ballads and gritty protest songs to innovative cross-genre fusions, all selected for their authenticity and emotional resonance. The conversation within this folk oasis is as important as the music itself, offering context about the scenes and communities that produce these sounds. While the series is currently on hiatus, the existing archive remains a vital resource for anyone eager to move beyond the mainstream. This isn't background music; it's an invitation to listen closely and connect with the narrative heart of folk.
