You might be able to tell by my username which is my favorite audio drama. If you haven't heard of it, Wolf 359 is a space opera dramedy focused on a cast of deeply likable characters who find themselves carrying out mysterious research onboard a space station owned by a soulless corporation. Heads up, the whole thing is very enjoyable but the creators say the real story doesn't get going for real until about episode 9 and I would agree. It's funny and entertaining but gets pretty serious around there. Don't worry, the early episodes are super short and still good.
Other audio dramas I highly recommend are:
Bronzetown
1865
Limetown
Edict Zero FIS
Station 151
Archive 81
The Magnus Archives
Theater of Tomorrow
The Hyacinth Disaster

Tailored music streaming apps seem to be all the rage now but does anyone still listen to internet radio stations?
I used to enjoy a lot of alternative music stations but many of them have either shut down now or switched to fully web based sites requiring accounts.
Currently I've been listening to lots of Groove Salad from SomaFM which I find really relaxing.

I did a fresh install of Foobar2000 [1] for the first time since it came out. I'm rebuilding playlists and figured I'd do some digging for some new ones. My old list had a bunch from somafm, Luxuria, the BBC ones, and a few others. Here's a list of some ones I dug up tonight. If you have any other good ones that are indie, hip hop, jazz, exotica, or really well-curated EDM, list 'em up! Bonus points for direct links to the stream.
- 90.9fm WDCB
- Luxuria Music Radio
- BBC6
- BBC3
- WWOZ
- KEXP
- BBC1XTRA
- Pigpen Radio (Internet-Radio.com)
- The Current
- Arctic Outpost
[1] my foobar2000 setup with a custom W10 high contrast theme
With the default interface, foobar2000 has some ugly white panels like this. I could patch uxtheme.dll, but its a pain if you forget to restore it before an update kicks in. To get around this, I made my own high contrast Dracula theme, which looks kind of like a UI you'd see on TV.
This system only runs Kodi and Foobar2000. I would recommend this route for anyone who actually wants to use the system due to high contrast themes taking over the entire color scheme for everything.

This is just to kick start what I expect will be a very, very, small (if any) conversation to share our favourite radio stations.
I personally still love listening to radio stations, mainly as it's an easy way to find new music from people who understand the genre typically more in depth and more refined taste than myself.
One of my personal favourites is La Jazz Radio by France Musique, no ads, and all types of mostly new and strange jazz from around the world (but mostly, of course France) with a little bit of some old ones thrown in. Their other stations are also equally very good,
What are some you would suggest?

I'm a big fan of community radio, freeform if I'm being picky. I'm curious...
- Which stations are my fellow Tilderinos listening to? (I'm particularly interested in non-English speaking stations)
- How are you listening?
- More generally, are people even listening to much radio any more? If not, why is that?
To get things started, my own answers are.
- WFMU, dublab, Resonance FM, rrr.
- Generally I set up an alias per station with fish shell and stream each link via cvlc
- As I'm posting I guess it's obvious but yes, I listen to the radio almost daily. It's a nice break to have one less thing to make a decision about (what to listen to) while avoiding having to listen to top 40 and discovering all sorts of new music I'd otherwise likely miss out on.
