World Radio

Seattle public radio with the famous in-studio live sessions, a human DJ on air at all hours and a playlist page that credits everything.

A permanent vaporwave station with fake adverts, a virtual room and album art on a CRT, running continuously for about a decade.

London online radio with thousands of shows in the archive, most presented by somebody with an unreasonable record collection.

Station listings for nearly every country, each with a playlist history so you can identify the track that finished before you looked up.

An eternal-summer radio station dressed as an old Macintosh desktop, playing the soundtrack to a holiday you never actually took.

A community-maintained open database of internet radio streams with no company behind it, which is why the odd little stations survive there.

Spin a globe covered in green dots and drop the needle on a live local station anywhere on Earth. The buffering is part of the charm.

Human-curated and listener-supported, mixed like an album rather than a playlist, at an absurdly high bitrate if you want it.

A tidy directory of tens of thousands of broadcast stations by country, genre and topic, with nothing to sign up for before you press play.

Pick a country and a decade on a world map and hear what people there were actually listening to, curated by humans since 1900.

Listener-funded, advert-free channels out of San Francisco, Drone Zone and Groove Salad among them, going since the dial-up era.

The big one: broadcast radio, sport and podcasts from most of the world, free with adverts and no account needed to listen.

Software-defined radio receivers around the world you can tune through a browser, listening to shortwave through somebody else's aerial.
