1. Awesome! Thank you!!

[TheBlackAdder]

44. And the larger dots show a list of stations to the left that those dots represent, 30 or 40 of them.

[Solly Mack]

45. Yes! Love the big dots! More, more, more.

[TheBlackAdder]

46. More, and then some.

The sample from that song, starting at 2:19 into it, was used in Len's Steal My Sunshine.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. This is so cool! Thanks!

[flying rabbit]

3. Very badass!

[randr]

4. Been using this for since they put it out

Great to listen to Blondie from deep in the heart of Siberia at 2 in the morning. Surf music from Arabian stations!
Best thing is you build a list of favs and when you tune in you can turn off the app and your screen and it keeps streaming.
Large dots are multiple stations.

36. Pretty eye opening how American pop culture dominates the world. n/t

5. CAUTION: If you have something planned in your life, do not click on that link.

You will be spending hours with this site, and whatever else you had planned will be lost.

68. Thanks. Some of us definitely have that tendency!

In fact, that reminds me that I shouldn't even be in DU right now. Too much else I need to be doing.

Bookmarking this OP for a more appropriate time.

[cachukis]

6. Very cool. Will it help them find me?

[thinkingagain]

[MineralMan]

11. If you're learning a language listening to radio

in that language will speed up your learning, and improve your accent. Guaranteed.

[bobandrileysmom]

29. I've been doing this to relearn my German!

Northern stations to learn properly and Middle and Southern stations for my Plattdeutsch and Schwabisch roots!

[Sogo]

61. I clicked on several stations in Europe,

and they were all in English and playing American pop tunes....It was disappointing....

Not until I got to Turkey was there any language and music that sounded like that country. India was very much of its culture, too.

[Red Mountain]

12. amazing and I'll be passing this around at work tomorrow

Easy way to listen to my fav WNCW 88.7 Forest City, NC

[Disaffected]

13. You may be right

regarding the spent hours - their server(s) seem v slow or overloaded. It says it it is "Planting seeds..." now for the past five minutes.

[Tommymac]

[USALiberal]

62. $3 removes the pop up adds too!

[Hortensis]

21. Wow! I tried listening to talk radio in Vladivostok, but

found that unsatisfying so we're listening to music from Divine FM in Chennai, India.

Thanks, Nevilledog. This is...wonderful!

[electric_blue68]

22. How Fabulous! Thank you! 🙂

30. That. Is. Incredible.

The possibilities are staggering, and I am now kicking myself for never learning more languages.

Who am I kidding? I'm still struggling with English and have only the most rudimentary French.

Still, this thing is cool as shit!

[AllaN01Bear]

...from a city called Dali, in China.

"Radio Garden - Shirley & Spinoza Radio."

https://www.radio.garden/listen/shirley-spinoza-radio/BgoQjOjJ

I saw a link to this somewhere else, IIRC. It really is amazing. Thanks.

[theneworiginal]

53. fascinating, but NOT a secure page.

Who owns it?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

55. Radio Garden Wikipedia entry

Radio Garden

Radio Garden is a non-profit Dutch radio and digital research project developed from 2013 to 2016, by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (under the supervision of Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg's Goal Föllmer), by the Transnational Radio Knowledge Platform and five other European universities. It is funded by HERA. According to the service, the idea is to narrow the boundaries from the radio. It gained popularity in 2016 when it surpassed the 8.000 registered station mark and, as announced at The Radio Conference 2016: Transnational Encounters, went viral.

69. I love this app, but keep forgetting I have it bookmarked.

Thanks for reminding me.

In these pandemic times, it's just about the only way I can travel.

[Bucky]

56. This is awesome! I just listened to the Doobie Brothers from Scotland

And followed a traffic report in Barcelona

[Smickey]

60. Too cool for school.

[uponit7771]

63. K&R, some other world shit right here !!! NICE !!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

64. I can't believe it!

I was too tired to try this out when I saw it last night, so I just did. I wasn't that interested in hearing my hometown station (Victoria BC), but thought I'd see what goes on in our big near-neighbour, Seattle.

I clicked on Seattle, and was just about to hit the "see individual stations" button, and it started giving me a station's current broadcast.

Rush Limbaugh show.

I have no idea how it chose that one, but I take this as a very bad omen.

65. iTunes had this years ago. Unfortunately, typical Apple

They updated it and eliminated this service ages ago. Then they dropped the ball on iTunes!

[WarGamer]

66. the coolest thing I've seen today... thanks n/t

[Rosco T.]

67. I also recommend TuneIn Radio

www.tunein.com

It's FREE (there is a premium level too but 90% FREE)

Also in an app for android and apple

[Gidney N Cloyd]

70. Coolest thing I've seen in a long time.
