“It really is the kind of program that listeners will make an ‘appointment with’ to listen to weekly because it is fresh, innovative, timely and engaging.”

~ Gary Chetkof, Chet 5 Broadasting

Music with teeth.

That’s what we deliver at radio UNLEASHED, breaking free of the chains that keep so many in the same old musical backyard — we cross genres at will and feast on any juicy tidbits of musical deliciousness that we run across, scratching the ears of our 25-64 year old listeners with new tunes and tasty under-appreciated old bones.

You can catch us on-air in one of our 22 NPR or commercial AAA radio stations. You can also download our podcasts on iTunes podcasts or stream us live via the TuneIn Radio app.

radio UNLEASHED’s host Dave Leonard has been building a loyal following for over 30 years, programming with artistic integrity since he introduced his free-form fun to WKZE as their first program director in 1993 and to WDST and Radio Woodstock as their VP/Programming in 1996.

Last year, we reached over 1.7 million listeners, next year that number will be even higher. Locally in the Hudson Valley where the show is produced, we’ve reached approximately 200,000 listeners through WDST, WKZE and NPR affiliates WHDD, WLHV, WGHQ, and WBSL. Nationally we air on these NPR and Commercial radio stations across the country: WBJB (New Jersey), KTAO (Taos), KMTN (Jackson Hole), WCNR (Charlottesville), KKAL (California), WFIT (Florida), KJZA (Arizona), KHNS (Alaska), WYTX (South Carolina), KROK (Louisiana), WAWL (Tennessee) and KSRQ and WITH (Ithaca), WUSM (Mississippi) and KUMD (Minnesota).

radio UNLEASHED is doing our part to provide a service to and entertainment for our boomer-to-millennial audience, supporting values that are important to us all: passion, fun, curiosity, discovery, authenticity, community, and respect.

Diverse programming for the discerning listener. Bite in. It’s super nourishing.

A WORD from our STATIONS

"As an Alternative station, we were looking for special weekend programming that augmented our format without copying it too closely. Radio Unleashed has met our needs very well. It's definitely an acquired taste, but after airing it a couple of weeks, we knew it was an excellent match, and we look forward to a long relationship with Dave."

"Unleashed is a unique show because it combines the easy-going, fun, on air talents of its host, Dave Leonard, with an eclectic music flow that transcends music eras and demographics. It really is the kind of program that listeners will make an 'appointment with' to listen to weekly because it is fresh, innovative, timely and engaging."

“Just to let you know how well radio UNLEASHED fits into WHDD’s schedule! It sounds local, the music is a great addition to our line up of folk, blues, classical and opera, and it takes Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons to new heights. And it just seems to fit in so well on the smallest NPR station in the nation!”

“Dave Leonard’s enthusiasm for the music he plays, together with his creative presentation of cool segues and sonically pleasing sets has been a winner with our audience for over 20 years.”

"radio Unleashed is my favorite part of our weekend syndicated programming. Dave has presented quite a few nuggets that I have added to the regular playlist. Always interesting and entertaining every week. It's the bacon encrusted dog treat for program directors!”
