Radio Garden has had enormous exposure the past two days, on radio, web, snoozepapers,

I know Radio Garden was mentioned in the Radio Unit AU topic a few months back.

I love that you have effectively got a John Peel playlist within the app. We've had online radio links for years, but it's usually been a mess.

Easy enough to find a genre you love but also new sounds for your lugs from places that I would get lost in looking at when I'd whip the old world Atlas out.

I’ve had Radio Garden for a while now. (Hey, I was into them before they were famous, mkay? ). I just love the idea of spinning the globe to find there’s some mad obsessive fan-station pumpiing out hardcore industrial from the middle of the Gobi desert or the Siberian steppes or something, or maybe one which is all Oud all the time... Of course, more often than not it turns out to be Golden Greats of the (Western) 80s, on narrow rotation, but for a moment or two, anyway, Radio Garden recreates something of the exotic childhood thrill of spinning the dial late at night on radio sets legended with ‘Helsinki’ and ‘Moscow’ and such impossibly far away places...

Shame you cannot easily get the URL from the app for Radio Unit (which is great BTW, buy it!)

It's a workaround, but if you 'share' the station in Radio Garden to email (for example), you get a link like this: https://radio.garden/listen/orthodox-chants/EsXWQHxy

The portion after the last backslash is the {station-id} in the following link which will then work in Radio Unit:

https://radio.garden/api/ara/content/listen/{station-id}/channel.mp3

This works! Thanks for instructions!

haha yeah I spent some time with it recently and was surprised at how much Western popular music is played by stations in quite remote areas.

I really like to catch some good animated discussions in a language I can't identify....also the various jingles, stings and sound logos that the stations use. lots of fun!
