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.

So true. Personally, I listen periodically radio paradise.

The way I listen to music changed forever when some middle aged Italian woman introduced me to FIP! It's a public French broadcaster coming out of Paris, but there's no ads and hardly any talking so not understanding French is not an issue.

They have wonderfully curated channels in a nice little set of genres - I often find myself listening to the main channel (very varied, but always great) for ordinary activities, and the Jazz station for work.

I cannot recommend it enough.

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!

Listening to Soma FM is an integral of keeping me sane and productive at work. I try to donate generously every year.

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