PACKAGE
I love Spotify, Pandora as much as the next music lover, but it gets a little boring listening only to songs you know by heart. Check out this app, Radio Garden.
The app displays a 3D globe of the world that spins as you drag your finger around it. All those green dots are radio stations. Live, on the air. By zooming in tighter you can tune in a station just by dragging this circle. Watch...or, listen.
This is a radio station in Athlone Ireland, playing the Rolling Stones. turn the world toward Europe and Italians in Bologna are listening to Blondie
and I stumbled on a radio station in France playing all reggae all the time.
It's fascinating turn of the world really. Tens of thousands of radio stations broadcasting live. Radio Garden is based in Amsterdam and the team is constantly "planting seeds" as they put it, adding more stations in more cities. Like this station near the top of the world in Greenland.
I needed to Shazam this catchy tune.
And a drive-time dj in Norway.
Find a station you enjoy, make it a favorite which is like setting a button on a car stereo. You'll find stations of all genres and it's a lot of fun dropping in on other cities around the world. Plus, you'll learn a little about geography. For more apps I've discovered go to www.whatthetech.tv
