My Latest Obsession...

I'm kinda obsessed with Radio.Garden.  It's a website where you can listen in realtime to radio stations all over the world (and I do mean "all over"), from NYC to Papua New Guinea!  I stayed up all night smoking reefer and favoriting stations recently.  They offer starting points from different categories like "Island Life" and "Radio Diaspora" from which you can choose, or you can just click random dots all over the map to listen to things.  Click the little heart to save your faves.  ❤

One of many categories offered on Radio.Garden

As someone whose high school only taught us the 50 states in geography, Radio.Garden offers a great geography lesson while being really entertaining and educational.  And most of the music is SO much better than the crap we're subjected to here.  I'm discovering all kinds of artists and songs I didn't know existed.  The only downside is they don't list song/artist names, but with the help of Shazaam you can identify most songs.  Paris, France (Skyrock, Radio, FlP, CherieFM, Hotmix, etc) has the most stations of any large city I've found, followed by the San Francisco Bay area (SomaFM) so check them out.  Ibizza is great if you like dance/electronic music, and the islands of Bermuda, Jamaica & St. Lucia have some amazing reggae.  I found one random Black Power station on an island somewhere that just had a guy ranting about white people at 4:00 a.m. lmao.
