“It’s the music, it’s all about the music,” said Ernest Corder, the host of KWVH’s Redroc Radio, which airs every Wednesday from 7 to 10 p.m. Rock ‘n Roll fans can tune in and hear three hours of their favorite music — everything from Beatles to Metallica — culled from his personal playlist of 12,000 songs.
Ernest, who single handedly produces his program, likes to group his shows around a theme. During the two-week arctic freeze of 2021, for example, he chose songs with titles or lyrics that mirrored the conditions outside. Sometimes he’ll put together a show around “what music was new in 1978,” he told me in a charged, fast-paced interview at the View several weeks ago. Interspersed throughout, listeners might hear fun facts and other rock ‘n roll trivia.
