Leading you down the Radio Garden path?

 

From its very beginning, radio signals have crossed borders and connected people and places. Radio Garden allows you to listen to thousands of live radio stations worldwide by simply rotating the globe. Every green dot represents a city or town. Tap on it to tune into the radio stations in that city.

This is what the internet should be about, an amazing free resource from a group in the Netherlands. You can search directly on the names and descriptions or simply browse through an interactive world map.

If you're looking for alternative sources of news and information in these troubled times, radio is a good place to start looking. There are no blocks, filters or paywalls, just radio stations from all over the planet.

I've just listened to CMC FM in Padma's hometown Surabaya, then swivelled the globe and tuned into Radio Okerwell in my old hometown in Braunschweig in Germany before crossing over to Ellinadiko in my last overseas posting for a bit of Greek music. Where would you like to go?
