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.

Soma FM is what I have been using every once in a while. They have different stations with different kinds of music, all good imo. They’re completely free with the possibility of buying merch and / or donating some money to help keep the servers up.
I highly recommend Soma!
They are my go-to every Christmas and I’ve been listening to them off and on since they were only a single stream.
Thanks Rusty, for all the good vibes!
Yep. I was about to recommend Soma.fm too when I saw your comment. Groove Salad, Deep Space One, and Space Station are my favorites on there right now. I discover great new artists from Soma all the time, like Rei Harakami, who I’ve been obsessed with lately. HIGHLY recommended.
Listening to Soma FM is an integral of keeping me sane and productive at work. I try to donate generously every year.
