Listen to the Planet
Every glyph on the globe above is a real internet radio station, placed where it broadcasts from. Tap one and it plays — live, from the broadcaster’s own servers— while the day/night line sweeps the world and the player tells you the approximate local time where your music is coming from. Spin to Reykjavík for late-night jazz, Lagos for afrobeats at noon, Tokyo for morning news. The planet, as a tuner dial.
What’s on the dial
The globe shows 8,355 stations— the community-verified, precisely-located slice of a much bigger world. Behind it sit 29,280 playable streams from a directory of 59,557 listed stations across 147 countries, maintained by the volunteer-run radio-browser.info project. Internet radio is a living thing — streams die, move and get geo-blocked daily, so some stations won’t answer when you tap. The player says so honestly and offers the next one nearby.
The world’s most-loved stations
BY LISTENER VOTESRanked by the radio-browser community’s own votes — the directory’s signal, shown as-is. Tap any of them to land on the globe with the station armed; one more tap plays it.
