The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

@[email protected] 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 @[email protected], posted on this topic the other day, so check that out, too.

Double J - ABC (Australia)

Listen live/homepage

List of programs

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, or ABC, morphed its Sydney based radio station 2JJ into a "national youth broadcaster" called Triple J. In 2002, they started a channel called dig that was announcer-less (I think). This really only existed on digital TV on digital radios and online. I don't imagine many people listened because of access to these modes of listening.

Fast forward to 2014/15, dig morphed into Double J, with a lineup of presenters, both radio DJs and musicians, and a mixture of older and more recent music. As I typed this, they played Wild Nothing, Kojey Radical, Hüsker Dü and Daft Punk on the morning show. This is presented by Karen Leng, who I first encountered on the awesome show she used to have on 3RRR. In many ways, it's quite similar to BBC Radio 6 Music.

Live at the Wireless. It's worth checking this program that has new and old, live recordings from over the years

Eleven. The heavier side of rock
