Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

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.

SomaFM

Community supported online radio, (from their website) Over 30 channels of commercial-free, human-curated radio programming focusing on non-mainstream music.

It's been my go-to for years. Groove Salad is my current and steady jam, but Boot Liquor, Underground 80s, Digitalis, and 7inch Soul all get regular plays.

soma.fm is the shit. Most of the channels are great, but there is no better place for ambient music than Drone Zone.

Boot Liquor was the station that introduced me to groups like The Devil Makes Three. I haven't listened in a few years, but it was an oasis of non-bro country back in the day.
