Radio Garden - This is a globe. It has green dots. Each green dot represents a radio station somewhere in the world. This website plays those radio stations. There are a lot of radio stations.

This has been mentioned here several times before, but this is still the first I've heard of it, the last post is almost 2 years old, and I thought you might like to know.

I've been listening to it off and on since it was last posted. Kind of fun. Wish there was a good was to search for specific programming or artists that a radio station plays.

I used to listen to Radio Garden a lot, but revisited after quite some time when I saw this post.

One big change: Overrun with obnoxious American English ads, which I never encountered before. Won't be coming back soon.

And this led me down a rabbit hole of learning why so many pop stations globally are called Kiss-FM. Link there in case you were wondering too!

Regulation, and also because video killed the radio star?

From a previous thread, Yeah they serve up local ads or something, pretty sure they don't advertise in spanish in Bangladesh. (I'm in Mexico)

Aw, man! I went to find my old college radio station* and couldn't find it. I went to submit, where I found it they shut down two years ago! I have so many memories of working there, both as a DJ and as "Staff".

Looks like a fun site, even though now I have the sads.

*As in, radio station owned by the college and staffed by students. Not a station that played "college radio".
