RADIO GARDEN

I just wanted to share this. Might keep some of you amused during lockdown. If you are a natural "radio" listener and like exploring new channels here's the answer ...

It can be utilised both as a website or you can download their app to your device.

Simply Google "Radio Garden".
Or click this link: http://radio.garden/

I think the idea is amazing and the intuitive user interface is a plus.

The UI is a little like Google Earth when you open it, only here you have a rotatable 3D globe covered in thousands of tiny luminous green dots. Each dot is a commercial radio station. Zoom in to any of your choice (anywhere in the world) and listen 'live'.

You can create and edit a favourites list too.

My thinking was it's like an extra ear to the ground with people talking about events which may not always make the mainstream 'TV' news channels.

(Or maybe you're someone who likes exploring different music, or listening to a foreign language channel .. to help you learn).

Anyway I digress.

Have fun if you've not heard of it before!

Love this! Discovered it last week and it's quite addictive. Even for a techno-luddite like me, it's so easy to use ( and also educational as you zoom around the planet and finding out where countries/states are on the global map.) Current favorite is RETRO F.M. in Reykjavik. Good music and with the added bonus of not understanding, therefore not caring, what the DJ is saying in between the songs.🙃
