So I’ve been enjoying listening to different radio stations all over the world for the past month and have never felt the need to open Spotify. Might be cancelling my subscription soon. It’s also pretty cool to listen to a radio program that’s been hand picked by a radio host. Of course that doesn’t count if you’re an audiophile that needs the best quality, or really want to pick every single song yourself, but for me it’s more than good enough. radio.garden has a pretty fun way to discover internet radio stations with an interactive globe you can spin around in your web browser or in app.

    Love radio.garden. Just a shame it’s missing all the BBC radio stations (except the world service) due to licensing issues :)

        Yeh, the Beeb basically says 'these radio programmes are funded by UK license payers - hands off". Quite a few good BBC speech programmes are available on Apple’s Podcast app - but not the same, I know.

              Yes, that is available but so are a few other BBC channels … Radio1/2 etc. I’ve heard top 10 countdowns and late night techno programs. I quite enjoy the catch-up with new release music. It’s the only time I listen to radio actually … adds to that “on the road” feel.
