me, i like terrestrial radio stations.
thanks to websites like radio garden (http://radio.garden/) i get to enjoy tuning in and seeing what the local life and flavor is like.
my local is KEXP which is pretty popular. post radio stations you like here!

I could rank all my favorite local stations but FM radio is horrible now, the commercials!!
I guess the whole concept of radio and how we consume and digest it has changed a lot in the last decade, I don’t think there there is a single radio entity that I listen to regardless of what show is on, I find there’s just so much good content spread over the internet I’m barely making a dent in my ‘listen later’ pile across all platforms and inbox 
on the upside
https://radiooooo.com/ is great fun when in situations with non-music-y people, inlaws, new work collegues, and makes for good conversation- especially with kids (we talk about different cultures, what instruments they used, what emotions does the song convey? etc)
I listen to radio like a maniac. For me the obvious ones are:
https://dublab.de/ (The Local) [Cologne]
https://www.nts.live/ (The International)
https://95bfm.com/ and https://basefm.co.nz/ (Home Soil) [Auckland]
Outside of the more obvious, I really enjoy Resonance FM in the car.
Makes NTS sound like the Radio 1 daytime playlist - I heard a Yodelling show once.
There’s a super-enjoyable Bob Dylan show that’s fascinating despite me not really liking Dylan. Just love the passion and knowledge of the presenters.
1BTN down here in sunny Brighton has a solid roster, including Danny Skyrager as a recent addition.
https://wnyu.org/ has a lot more than just the admittedly wonderful BiS
looks like the FCC is auctioning off a few stations in the US. maybe i’ll move to a weird rural location and run a weird rural radio station. FCC To Auction Off 140 Radio Stations - Radio Ink
here’s the list if anyone wants to get in on this with me - we could start a weird radio network! https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-21-131A2.pdf
Ici Musique (the CBC’s francophone music station) has two great daytime DJs: Catherine Pogonat in the mornings, and then Philippe Fehmiu from noon til 3pm (eastern time, so should work nicely for UK/EU forum peeps for afternoon/evening listening).
Both of them play a really good mix of Francophone pop, stuff that I’d certainly never otherwise hear, plus a good dollop of dance/hip-hop stuff as well as what I guess could constitute Balearique 
They also play the odd Anglophone thing, and of course there’s some stuff that’s in both official languages and sometimes changes mid-sentence (which does actually happen, if you happen to be in Montreal. Never come across it elsewhere, mind you).
Warning: if you’re not used to Quebecois accents, you might wonder if they’re actually speaking French. I didn’t get any further than scraping a pass at O level, can usually survive on holiday, but feck me it’s taken a few years to get my head and ear around it (mainly thanks to the wonderful offqc.com site). Tabarnak!
Biased but KaneFM.com 103.7 FM in Guildford and surrounding areas,
Stream 101
Rising Edge Radio
So many good ones out there, not enough time to do them all justice!
this website is a hoot!
Dont really do much promo in here for the show, but I’m doing my first ever interview so…
Join me this coming Thursday, 1st Feb, for the first Balearic Breakdown Show of 2024.
I’m absolutely delighted to announce a worldwide exclusive interview with the man behind what I’m predicting to be one of the albums of the year, 100 Poems, aka Mike Wilson.
I’ll be playing lots of tracks from the album - Everything’s Balearic When You Believe - and chatting about Mike’s history, the making of the album, and all sorts of other things. He’s a lovely man, and we could’ve chatted for hours, tbh.
So set the alarms - get on board in the chat, and get ready for the very first interview on Howler’s Balearic Breakdown Breakfast Show

Bought this after seeing you recommend via Instagram a few weeks back, great album, missed the show but will get on playback 
Big Shout out to the Guildford Massive Whilstle Crew
Will be up tomorrow. Glad you’re enjoying the album. 
I’m surprised that no one has mentioned WFMU. It’s legendary, but I know few people who are familiar with it in the real world. They have terrestrial stations (2) and have 4 live streaming stations with different flavors.
The main station is a hoot and the website provides a space for users to chat, save songs, and a few other fun things. They play everything
Oh, and their archives go back 20 something years. You can go back and listen to practically anything. The site’s search is powerful as well.

i created this thread, so i should mention my favorite terrestrial radio - https://www.kmhd.org/
my hometown jazz station, in recent years it’s really grown into something cool and dependable. they do a number of shows, but during the daytime it’s mostly variations on the same thing - some classic jazz, some new stuff (you will hear alex kassian and greg foat next to george benson and art farmer) and a dollop of soul/r&b that isn’t necessarily improvisational, but certainly part of the black american artform.
anyhoo, kmhd. they do good work.
