@useless_modern_god@aussie.zone posted an article about US College radio stations (read post).

I suggested starting a thread with some good radio station streams and podcasts (from where-ever)…so here it is.

My idea would be to include:

  • Name of your recommendation
  • Link to live stream, listen again page or podcast homepage
  • Brief description about why you recommend it

I will post a couple below to start off.

Edit - I just noticed that @Tim_Eagon@dice.camp, posted on this topic the other day, so check that out, too.

BBC Radio 6 Music

Schedule and on demand links

This won't be new to anyone in the UK but I guess others might not know it. As its name suggests, it all about music. There are lots of really good shows with a fair bit of variety.

The way that the BBC radio DJ system seems to have worked is that the presenters who started off on Radio 1 but who got too old for its prime audience, moved into different slots on R1 but then onto other stations on the BBC network. When DAB (digital) radio and streaming came about, 6 Music was started with lots of DJs who have been around for ages but also presenters like Cerys Matthews from Catatonia, Huey from Fun Lovin' Criminals etc. Others like Jarvis Cocker from Pulp, Guy Garvey from Elbow and Iggy Pop have also had regular shows but are no longer on the schedule.
