Very cool.

Twelve years ago I had a little USB thumb drive kind of thingy that did the same thing - though not as comprehensively as this. But at the time it was a marvel.

I'm going to try to remain reserved.

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING YOU'VE EVER POSTED!

OK. I've said my piece.
I love listening to radio in other places. This might keep me busy for the next 20 years.

South Korea either has little to no radio stations or they go to sleep after midnight like tv stations used to here.

Found this site about a year ago and amused ourselves for quite a while zipping around to all kinds of stuff. We keep it on Soggy Dollar Radio out of the British Virgin Islands. No commercials and a crazy mix of a little of everything.

Radio Garden has been around for awhile, but yeah, it does have a good interface. Alas, all those stations and none have what I want. The real trick is remembering the app during an emergency where you can then pick up the stations closest to the event for context.

Wish they had 1310 WIBA-AM so I could listen to Packers & Badgers.

TML म्हणाले...

Can hardly grasp how cool and fun this is. Honestly, truly amazing.

LA_Bob म्हणाले...

It is indeed very cool.

The garden starts me off in Japan. Amazing to hear all the western music and even English-language songs. The Los Angeles area stations seem to be where the foreign languages are, at least compared with Japan. Hilarious!

Ha ha. I restrained myself. My original reaction, spoken out loud, was: "This is the best thing ever!"

rcocean म्हणाले...

Very nice. Very nice indeed.

PM म्हणाले...

A+, www.
thx, Ann

Jaq म्हणाले...

OK, this is waay cool.

Jaq म्हणाले...

Going on my phone so I can listen in my car.

Jaq म्हणाले...

I guess Italian is the international language of Opera, and English is the international language of pop music. At least so I gather from listening to Japanese and then French language stations, after listening in on an Inuit station on the Arctic Ocean.

TA म्हणाले...

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

CJinPA म्हणाले...

Wonderful.

Japan has several stations that play classical and American songs. A few played the same song, so they could be simulcasting.

Drago म्हणाले...

Fantastic.

"This is the best thing ever!"

The original best thing ever was your basic hand-held transistor radio. For just a few dollars, you had hours and hours and hours of entertainment with music, sports, talk, news and more. I still have one next to my bed. Don't listen to the late night baseball games anymore though. But back in the day with Ernie Harwell . . .

Bart Hall म्हणाले...

I've used this site for quite some time, because is allows me to keep my ear up for languages I speak, but have almost no chance to use in rural and small-town Kansas -- German, Hungarian, Dutch, and Swedish. Also to stay somewhat current on local/regional news from Québec and other places I've lived.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"The garden starts me off in Japan."

Yeah, that's because of where I was when I made the link.

Jaq म्हणाले...

When I was in the industry, people used to wonder how they were going to use all of that dark fibre strung between continents, under the oceans. Nobody could think of how it would be used; there was so much capacity. Now we know.

Readering म्हणाले...

Just downloaded the app. Goes first to a local station.

TML म्हणाले...

Still playing with this...found an amazing jazz station in Japan in Uwajima

RMc म्हणाले...

Aim for the big dot in Brooklyn -- there's over 200 NYC-based stations to choose from!

gilbar म्हणाले...

i take (part of it back)
it DOES have Pine Ridge (KILI Porcupine SD 90.1) but Still is missing Rosebud

Clyde म्हणाले...

Well, that was interesting. Hopscotched across from Japan to Korea to Khabarovsk to China to India, then to Italy, Wales, Scotland and Iceland, then zoomed in on the local green dots here in Florida. Then I went to Longyearbyen, Norway in Svalbard and Ushuaia, Argentina in Tierra del Fuego, the northernmost settlement and the southernmost city in the world, just for kicks. In Cape Coral, Florida, the Vibe station started playing "Come On Eileen." Mostly it was people speaking in incomprehensible languages, though.
