Shabazz Palaces will perform in real time during a KEXP in-studio session at 6 p.m. Eastern Thursday, Sept. 10.

The approximately 30-minute appearance is scheduled during The Afternoon Show, hosted by Larry Mizell Jr. Listeners throughout the United States can hear the free broadcast through KEXP.org or KEXP’s mobile apps.

KEXP also plans to admit an in-person audience at its Seattle studio.

This session is confirmed as real-time radio

The word “live” requires care when discussing KEXP sessions. Some performances are recorded in front of an audience and broadcast later.

The station’s Sept. 10 event listing specifically tells listeners that they can tune in live at KEXP.org. It lists the performance at 3 p.m. Pacific, or 6 p.m. Eastern.

KEXP’s broader event guidance says its current in-studio sessions are broadcast events, and that video will be shared on YouTube later. Thursday’s radio presentation is therefore the real-time experience. A later, edited video will present the performance.

Human presentation on The Afternoon Show

KEXP’s weekly schedule places the 3 p.m. Pacific session within The Afternoon Show, hosted by Larry Mizell Jr.

The host’s role is important. Rather than dropping the performance into an automated stream, KEXP incorporates studio sessions into its human-curated broadcast day, with an introduction and context for the artist.

The dated event notice does not name an interviewer separately. Mizell is identified as the scheduled program host, but stations occasionally make substitutions. Web Radio Info will not identify additional participants unless KEXP announces them.

How to listen

The session begins Thursday, Sept. 10, at 6 p.m. Eastern.

Listeners can:

• Visit KEXP.org and select “Listen Live.”
• Choose the 64 kbps stream for lower data use or the 160 kbps stream for higher audio quality.
• Use the official KEXP app for iOS or Android.
• Tune to 90.3 FM in the Seattle reception area.
• Tune to 92.7 FM in parts of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Listeners using assistive technology should open the player a few minutes before 6 p.m. and confirm that audio is active.

Listening after the broadcast

KEXP maintains a two-week streaming archive organized by date, host, and show. Thursday’s broadcast may be available there as part of The Afternoon Show.

However, KEXP has not specifically guaranteed archive access for this performance. Music rights or technical changes can affect individual archived segments.

The station also publishes edited Live on KEXP videos and audio episodes. Those later releases should be described as recordings of the Sept. 10 performance, not as live radio.

Accessibility considerations

The essential performance and host introduction will be available through audio. Listeners do not need to watch the later video to experience the music.

KEXP’s two stream-quality choices can help listeners with limited bandwidth. Its apps and local FM signals provide alternatives to navigating the website.

A live transcript or text version of the host’s spoken material has not been announced. The website player’s behavior can also vary by browser and screen reader, so beginning playback early is the safest approach.
