Radio Garden is a very cool service

http://radio.garden/listen/

a selection of radio stations across the world.

Leans very heavily towards Public Broadcasting stations in the states - But I was listening to hiphop on Illadelph Radio in Philly and then a rock/dance hybrid with sitars on Rundfunk radio in Zurich.

I've been on for less than an hour and I'm hooked.

1. Indeed. Was playing with it this morning in the wee hours. Had not heard of it until a DU tip.

2. I missed that tip, I was given the link on FB this morning.

I imagine it's spreading like wildfire tho. This thing is addicting

3. By the way Radio 1055 Rock in Thessoloniki is the rock station I wish I had

Here in St Louis.

Bookmarked that bad boy three song in

5. When I was a kid, we spun a globe and stopped it with a finger...then learned about whatever

place we landed on. Fun and a good learning tool back in the days of Encyclopedias and no Google. This sort of combines all that with the zoom-in geography and glimpses of what people are listening to all over the planet.

4. Great Site

Have been on this site for more than a year. It's free and its great. Radio stations all over the world. Just hold down the left click on the mouse button and drag to move around the map, place the circle over a green dot and let go your mouse. Large cities will have multiple stations. To save a station: In the bottom right, when you have a station selected, click the heart shape. Will dial in to a radio station, minimize to listen while I surf on the internet or play computer games.
Here are some of the stations I like (to each their own):
KWMR
KOWS
CKOA-FM
SMRN5001
KNKX
KUOW-FM 94.9
WUMB-CELTI JOURNEY
ABN OLD-TIME RADIO AM 1610
HUMBOLDT 101
CJNU FM 93.7

6. Thanks for the tip on how to save a station. I had not figured that out yet.

7. I love the crisp clear sound

I get static on my local jazz station.

8. It is pretty good.

It's not secure though, which always gives me pause.
