Radio Stations Around the Globe / App of the Day #102
If you've ever dreamed of exploring the world through sound, Radio Garden offers a unique and immersive experience. This innovative app transforms your device into a global radio tuner, allowing you to spin a 3D globe dotted with green markers—each representing a live radio station from cities and towns across the planet.
Launched in 2016 as a non-profit project by Dutch studios Studio Puckey and Studio Moniker, in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, Radio Garden aims to bridge cultural gaps by connecting listeners to the diverse sounds of the world. Whether you're interested in jazz from New Orleans, pop from Tokyo, or folk music from a remote village in Ireland, a simple tap on the globe transports you there instantly.
Beyond its interactive map, Radio Garden offers a 'Browse' feature, enabling users to explore stations by genre, language, or popularity. For those seeking a playful challenge, the app includes a music geo-guesser mode, where you listen to a station and guess its location based on the broadcast.
Available for free on iOS, Android, and web browsers, Radio Garden provides an ad-supported experience, with a premium version offering additional features like sleep timers and an ad-free interface. Whether you're a music enthusiast, a language learner, or simply curious about global cultures, Radio Garden offers a captivating way to explore the world through sound.
