Radio Garden

What Radio Garden actually is

Green dots cover a 3D globe, each one a radio station broadcasting right now. Dragging the planet under the crosshair tunes you into whatever is playing in that town, whether that is drive-time chatter in Reykjavik, a Cairo phone-in or a lone community station in the Australian interior.

Why it is worth your time

There is no genre filter and no menu, so the only way to choose is geographically, and hearing an advert break in a language you cannot place is the entire point.
