What Radiooooo actually is

A world map crossed with a timeline: choose Mali in the 1970s, or Japan in the 1930s, and the site plays records from that exact place and period, uploaded and moderated by its own community. A mood switch shuffles between slow, fast and weird within whatever you have selected.

Why it is worth your time

The gaps are as informative as the hits, because a country with no records for a given decade usually turns out to have had something else going on at the time.
