Spin a globe and listen to whatever a local station is playing right now.
Thousands of live radio streams plotted on a rotating Earth — drag from Lagos to Reykjavik to Kolkata and the audio changes with the dot under the cursor. It is the least mediated way to hear what somewhere else sounds like, adverts and traffic reports included. Built as a research project on radio and cultural exchange, and it works in any browser with no account.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. Streams come straight from the stations, so dead links, regional blocks and long ad breaks are all common and none of it is recorded.
Yes. Radio Garden sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
