Is a studio full of idiots yucking it up for several hours in the morning still popular? I happened to drive my daughter’s car the morning and almost every station had a bunch of people just spewing nonsense. How is this still popular?
Hello, does anybody know how much this stuff is worth?
Hey folks !
I spent the last few months obsessing over something probably nobody asked for, I mean I really missed the old fashioned radios , where though it’s on your phone it should not feel like a app rather the radio the pocket radio we all miss
A radio app that feels like an actual radio.
Not a list of stations with a play button. Not a streaming service with algorithmic recommendations. A radio. With a dial you turn. Static between stations. A needle that drifts across the frequency display.
I call it RadioStar.
The whole screen is the radio. Leather grain cabinet. Brass tuning dial with 40 notches that click under your thumb with haptic feedback.
A red LED that breathes when idle and pulses when you tune. Warm amber ULTRA POWER display with a floating needle. Speaker grille with vintage mesh. Even a tube warmup delay because tubes need to heat up.
Turn it on. Spin the dial. Hear static. That familiar warm hiss. Lock onto a signal and it fades in. Jazz from Chicago. News from London. Oldies from a station you have never heard of. Old time radio dramas from the 1940s.
No playlists. No algorithms. Just you and whatever you discover.
Some other details I maybe spent too much time on:
- AM/FM band toggle with brass slider
- Five preset buttons for your favorites
- Static crossfade between stations
- Sleep timer for late night listening
- Chunky power switch that clicks on with purpose
Its free. The Classic Brown 1960s cabinet, all features, North America and Global stations. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Your radio doesnt spy on you and neither do we.
Theres an optional $4.99 unlock if you want premium cabinets like Bakelite Black with art deco chrome, Seafoam Green atomic age teal, or Cherry Wood mahogany. That also unlocks Europe, Asia, Latin America, Oceania and Africa stations. But honestly the free version is the full experience.
I built this for people who remember when radio was an adventure. And for people who wish they did.

Would love to know what the community thinks of this , does this feel nostalgic ? And if theres a station you love that should be in there let me know., and what else you would want to see , I call this how radio should be :) may be todays Gen Z alpha would go oh this is how tuners worked :)
Does anyone still send physical press kits? If you got one, would you even open it? Do stations even keep the hardware around to play a CD, video CD or a DVD?

Hi everyone!
I have a question about the best apps to listen to FM radio worldwide on iOS.
I used to use TuneIn and it was my favorite, but lately some stations don’t work anymore, and the ads feel really intrusive. I’ve also tried Radio Garden, which has been working better for me recently, but I feel like I’m not getting the most out of it since I don’t fully understand how to navigate the app.
If you’ve tried any good free iOS apps for listening to radio, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks!
Sorry if this is a dumb question. This is in the context of the United States.
Can you say “screwed up”? Context: “xyz screwed up”
Can you say “beat the tar out of” I know this is an idiom and people could take it that way. context: “they beat the tar out of him”
Can you mention 4/20(cannabis?)
Title says it all!!
I need advice! F20
I’ve been working in Radio for the past 2 years on a FTC. Mainly as assistant producer.
My contract has come to an end and i’m now a freelancer. The company I’m at seems to have very little shifts, and if they do, they’re covered by freelancers who’ve been there longer than I have, or people on contracts.
My dream is to be a radio producer long term (i think), i like working with talent, and being in control of the show.
I’m only 20 so haven’t have the chance to try new and different jobs yet, but i’d also like to try TV.
I’ve got literally no experience in TV, and i’m in Manchester so i’m not sure if there is much around. I’ve emailed and emailed and emailed independent studios, people i’ve heard of etc but i’ve had no luck. This is the same with radio - i’ve been networking as much as i can but i don’t seem to be getting anywhere.
I come from a working class background so the financial stability with freelancing isn’t really working for me either. A FTC or permanent is ideal but I know in this industry it’s hard.
Things i’m into - I like doing socials content / being on the social side of things, love working with talent, in teams, i’d like to go to events etc.
What do i do? I’m stuck and i don’t know what to do.
As i’ve said i’ve networked, tried to use linkedin, tried to get my name out, but it seems so quiet atm.
Any advice helps - no one at work seems to get it?
Thanks :)
Hey People! RadioGuessr is a web-based game where you listen to a random radio stream across the globe and guess where it is from.
I am a solo dev and I've been building RadioGuessr for 3 weeks now. Really excited to see how much more I can add to it and open to ideas about it as well.
Also, share your high scores in the comments!

🙋♀️ I live in California and became a fan of Sunny 106.3 FM/Fort Myers a couple of years ago. I love listening to Gina, John Tesh and Delilah. I connect to the station on my PC from the Sunny 106.3 website. Lately, I’m unable to connect…it just spins and then nothing. 😫 I’ve tried clearing my cache, refreshing, all of the usual jazz but nothing is working. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone! Junior Radio Engineer here! The fan for an XDS receiver at the station I work for stopped working and I have a replacement fan from Premier Networks en route (it's their receiver). I've been advised by my mentor (a contract engineer from out of the area who lets me ask questions every now and then) to download the receiver manual and study it before hand. Unplug the unit during a time no programming is coming in, too. And take pictures too, for my own reference, during the process.
This all makes sense and I plan to do it. But it will be the most technical thing I've done so far in my journey in engineering. I wanted to see if the folks in the radio subreddit have any tips or thoughts when it comes to working on gear. Particularly, replacing a fan on a receiver!
Note: I haven't started yet. The station doesn't help with things like this, which is totally fine--please don't suggest that :)
MORE: right now, if I think of a song I might someday want to include in a show--just so I don't forget it--I go toYouTube and tag it as "Future Show," which obviously gets me nothing except a reminder.
For awhile I did have a spreadsheet where I'd add songs I'd think of and jot down title, performer, year, decade, genre(s), mood, themes/keywords, tempo--but that doesn't help with the actual creation of a playlist.
I'd also like some way to track how often I play a song as well as that band/artist. It would also be awesome to be able to export the playlist to a website I would manage myself for the show.
How do people do this? Is there software or an app or apps? Any inexpensive or free? It's a volunteer gig. Thanks for your ideas/suggestions.
Hi, just wondering if anyone has any links to interesting talk radio from the 70s,80s, or 90s. I recently found one dedicated to out of body experiences. I really really enjoy the sound of AM talk radio, or just that crisp radio sound with people conversing (specifically about the strange and unusual!). Thanks in advance!
P.S: If you have any regarding people just talking about life experiences, that would be fine too. In this era of podcasts and information overload, I would really enjoy just listening to how people talked before the internet took over. Thanks! :-)
I just found this subreddit so this would be the perfect place for my question. Why do the radio DJs keep talking after they have started a song? I get annoyed when the song intro is playing and you can’t really hear because the DJ won’t shut up.
Yoo,
I put together this New Gen Grime set for my radio show on Mode. Filmed & edited by myself aswell. Let me know your thoughts?!
