Radio Garden (radio.garden)

Interesting that life goes on in Ukraine.

Love it, what a cool project!

I am a fan. I use the iOS app on my M1 mac every day. I wish they had more stations however. Some I like are missing.

Awesome well done. Bookmarked.

I do love that you can use this to listen to 'Tatooine' radio: http://radio.garden/visit/tataouine/QhlNhiHM (Tataouine in Tunisia is where Lucas filmed the opening of Star Wars, it was originally named 'Utapau' in the script until the location scout.)

This is great. It found the station of my town, population 5000.

Amazing! I'm going to use it as a low-friction way to stay immersed in Brazilian Portuguese.

This is one of those moments that really got me back in touch with the magic of the internet. Also kudos to the creators for creating a mobile-optimized version of the site that continues playing even when my screen is locked!

I still remember when I first discovered it, I couldn't stop zapping and listening to radios located in the most remote places. Amazing project!

I love radio.garden, I use it to listen to my national broadcast radio since it's much lighter than the official webapp.

One thing I would love though would be a random function where it just find a new radio station to listen to, maybe with a filter by region.

Love the project.

Also love Radio as a medium in general. Sure there are ads. Sure there is unsolicited content. But exactly this is the strength. Even if I am tripped up by some oponions which do not resonate with mines or music I really hate - its a stimulus to escape the social orinformation bubble the recommender based engines created for us.

My kids love this site. When they want to put on some music while doing some work, they always open up radio garden and pick a (semi-) random station.

If you see a missing station, I was easily able to submit a missing station from my hometown few weeks ago.

I love this app. But after a while using it I found it suffers the same problem as most other Internet radio apps - obsessed with location. I started making a list of stations based on genre or general vibe and ended up building https://muso.fm It's a refined list of good Internet radio stations playing good music.

Music tastes are surprisingly more homogeneous around the world than I thought. It's also interesting to see how reggaeton/latin trap has taken over all the Spanish speaking world.

This is great.

I used to try to find radio stream aggregators like this online, I enjoyed hearing what is popular in all kinds of places, but usually the novelty wore off when the selection was limited. This one appears to have a massive catalog of streams.

This is seriously awesome, I recently bought an AM/FM stereo to keep up to date with the latest technology and it was really lacking the feature to geolocate stations.

I love this one, KNDN. It’s located in Farmington, NM and it’s a Navajo station. They don’t have words for everything in their language so you’ll hear random English words like “Walmart” and such dropped in.
