WUNC Music is excited to announce that on July 1, 2023, it will add its first locally produced specialty show.

Future Shock, hosted by WUNC Music DirectorBrian Burns, is a new weekly show that explores progressive new sounds, global beats, and under-the-radar classics. Expect to hear a variety of genres from around the world; from jazz to funk to cumbia to reggae and beyond.

The show will also feature artist interviews on occasion. Indian Carnatic and R&B musician Sid Sriram joins as the first guest on the program.

Future Shock features a theme song created by Greensboro-based artist Quilla, and art by Carrboro
cartoonist Max Huffman.

The show will air on WUNC Music on Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., with weekly playlists available on Spotify the following Monday.
