In January PBS listeners can expect to hear a few tweaks to our weekly programming roster, and we also welcome a brand new show to the airwaves.

After 26 years on-air, Peter and Gary wind up their epic Thursday night show Screaming Symphony on January 1, 2026, allowing for some movement across the grid and some fresh sounds for PBS listeners.

Mon 22 Dec 2025 to Sun 28 Dec 2025

Each week throughout the year, we select one new outstanding album to feature across our platforms as a way of celebrating music that is authentic, original and pure. In 2025, we featured dozens of exceptional albums across a variety of genres that tap into various musical traditions from different corners of the world. Every one of these albums tells a profound story in its own voice, speaking directly to the soul of those willing to listen.

Mon 15 Dec 2025 to Sun 21 Dec 2025

As we start to wrap up for the year - and before publishing 2025's top ten feature albums next week - we wanted to share with you ten new tracks that speak to the breadth of our sound and tap into the various musical traditions that we love. With music from Naarm to Damascus to Delhi, from liquid drum n bass and soul, to prog, folk and rock n roll, we sincerely hope you enjoy these fabulous selections.
