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.

Don't forget WKRP in Cincinnati. LOL.

But seriously, maybe we can start a mega-thread of good radio station streams and podcasts?

Edit - Reader, I started the previously mentioned thread

Pomona, home of the Borg and an obsession with the number 47... And a good radio station.

KUOM 100.7, aka Radio K, broadcasting from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities is no slouch.

It's not college radio but 4zzz is a community radio station in my home town of Brisbane, Australia that's effectively the same kind of thing and has an online stream:

Thank You! There is now a pinned post at the top to add your favourite station.

(There is also a Brissy Daily thread over at [email protected] for general chat)

Thanks, yeah I saw the post in this thread about the other pinned post. I'll add this later when I have some more time to write it up in the format requested for that thread.

And thanks for the link to the brisbane thread, but I'm already subbed over there 😀

KUNV The Rebel used to be such a great station. I really don't know what it's like nowadays.

I'd be interested in a mega list of good stations. I'm in a rut right now.
