Live radio from all over the world in a globe.

This is better than getting a hold of a transoceanic shortwave radio I had in my youth.

You can navigate the globe and click on the green spots to listen to the streaming radio coming from that place. Usually there will be several stations on the right of the screen, select one to listen or change stations in that city, some have numbered pages to cycle at the bottom of the list.

One can even link to specific radios one finds, like Radio Transylvania:

After looking around for a few minutes it is noticeable how many stations are in English and how many English songs are played all over, even that Transylvania station plays a few songs in English.

This one lets you pick a region and a decade. I personally love 1960s French pop.

Oh. Uh, I guess I somehow missed the live radio part of the thread. Nevermind.

I love this, thanks !

Like you, it reminds me of when I tried to pick up foreign stations as a child. In the span of five minutes I’ve gone from Brussels to New York via Toronto and London, Ontario.

This reminds me of the time coughity-cough years ago when live radio streams first started to appear on the net. I was listening to a college radio station in Seattle (I think it was) from London - the proper one, in the UK :wink: - and noticed on their web site that you could also email them with requests. So I popped one off and about 10 minutes later they read it out and played my request. Seemed impossibly exotic at the time. I’m feeling a little bit wistful that today this would seem mundane.
