We are committed to showcasing independent artists from around the world and stream an exciting mix of independent music and our own personalized playlists of eclectic music that includes house music, alternative rock, country, and more when we aren't broadcasting our original variety and music programming. Our presenters and DJs are experts in their areas and broadcast LIVE each week from NYC, Detroit, Miami, and around the world! We are America's Hottest Online Variety and Music Station! Tune in now!
Our international team combines four decades of experience in online broadcasting, traditional radio broadcasting, print journalism, and music production to create a variety and music station that we love producing and sharing with our listeners all over the world, connecting our global communities at the local level. We produce and broadcast 24 original programs every week and are on the air worldwide 24 hours a day! Our mission at Sandcastle Radio is to have fun, play music, celebrate life, and connect our communities with LOVE and independent radio!
We are commercial-free, musician-owned, independent radio and are 100% LISTENER-SUPPORTED through our Patreon community.
Sandcastle Radio™ was created out of a shared passion for good music of ALL genres and a desire to connect with our local communities around the issues that matter to us and to our listeners. Foremost for us, as musicians and radio personalities, is to address an urgent need for compensation for radio presenters and DJs who literally pay out of their own pockets to share their talents and expertise with the world on commercial stations (we're blowin' the lid offa that mess, ya'll! Sorry, not sorry! lol!) We're stone cold serious about this. Three of our presenters/DJs have recently experienced homelessness due to the housing crisis in Florida and elsewhere. We're committed to paying our people for their work and that's where our listeners come in.
We have a Patreon page here for general support at all levels, including being part of our FREE community! Check it out.
We are also actively seeking sponsors and partners for our shows and for general programming. Contact us at info@sandcastleradio.org for details on that. And please take a minute to learn about and support our partners, they are the small business and not-for-profit rock stars that are putting their money where their mouths are to support independent radio! Thanks y'all. Together we can make a difference in our communities, whether we're in Pensacola, Miami, Detroit, New York City, London, Amsterdam, and beyond!
We rise together.
xo,
Debz and DJ Pete Perez

A music lover from a young age, his tastes are eclectic and span nearly every genre and decade. More often than not, however, he gravitates toward the alternative and independent scenes where unique sounds and voices redefine traditional rock and pop music templates.
Aaron’s also the driving talent behind the indie pop rock project, Courtney Can’t Park. Serving as sole songwriter, vocalist, musician, and studio engineer, he’s released two albums under the Courtney Can’t Park banner, 2021’s “Into The Blue” and 2022’s “October Revolution.”
Kenny and Nell Tice are YouTubers on a mission to share the stories of their travels through the eyes of a lens, and now microphones! After starting their travel channel in late 2019, the pandemic in early 2020 put a halt to all travel and they began to wonder where this was all going. After purchasing a new camera, and buttoning up their video editing skills, they started their company, enTICEing Media.
Fast forward a couple of years later and Kenny is now an expert in travel hacking and helping people plan their own journeys. Nell is a full-time entrepreneur and host of the What the Nell!? podcast! They travel as much as possible and enjoy sharing their experiences, tips, and tricks for traveling to everyone they can!

Marc ("Marco") joins us from Devon, UK where he is a regular performer on the South West poetry scene and in music/poetry performances. He recalls his early draw to poetry:
"Inspired by Blake’s Tiger, Lewis Carroll’s Walrus, Carpenter and Slithy Toves, and Coleridge’s crusty seafarer, I started writing poetry as a child and recall my first ambition was to be a poet. ‘What do you want to be when you grow up Marc?’ ‘A poet.’ ‘No, I mean for a job…’ So I became a musician instead. A mandolin player. Well."
Marc is an accomplished musician who has gigged all over, recorded numerous sessions and performed and taught internationally. His album "Bluemando" is available on Spotify and Apple. He has worked with filmmakers, musicians, artists, and made his own videos:
Marc also publishes a blog/website www.marcwoodwardpoetry.blogspot.com.
Marc invites poetry submissions to be considered for reading on his show.

Hello, I'm Hans Geersing and I live in the North of Holland (The Netherlands, Europe). Ever since I was a child, I was interested in radio. And therefore, in music!
And now of course also.
A lot of years later, I started with radio making. And I mean much, much later! Anyway, now I have two live radio shows here in Holland, a local radio station and a big internet radio station.
For more info about those radio shows, look at my Facebook page. ;)
I'm very, very happy to make a live radio show on Sandcastle radio!
I really can't wait :):)
The show is called "Euro Express".
With only good pop and dance, and other music, but only from Europe.
From now and yesterday.
