This one: http://www.lightyear.fm/ is a neat visualization of the "radio bubble" around Earth about 110 light years in diameter (edit: radius).
radius.
It's interesting how few streaming stations there are in eastern Asia.

I would like to contribute some songs. Do I have to upload them? What about copyright and stuff?
It's indescribable how homesick it made me, but at the same time I felt so much more connected to my home after hearing the local news, and my regional accent which is somewhat rare.
for context; I'm British, from a city called Coventry (which does not have an accent similar its neighbours) and I live in Sweden, where everyone who speaks English sounds either American or very Swedish.
I suppose this is strictly for terrestrial radio stations? I run an internet radio station[1] and there is a galaxy of us. [1] https://hymns.fm
Strange, I tuned into a random South Africa station and the guy immediately started talking about radio garden. Coincidence? Did not sound like an advert because he immediately trailed off to talking about Netflix and some ex marine sniper stuff.
Perhaps he'd been browsing hacker news.

There is also an app called "radiodroid" (or maybe it is "radiodroid2"; on the https://f-droid.org app store that says it builds all the apps from free/open source) which I have very much enjoyed for this. Unlike the other 1-2 internet radio apps I tried, this one made it easy to browse thousands of stations, search by tag (I guess everything is in there), language, country, etc etc, set bookmarks, list listening his…
(1) When browsing the list of radio stations, I can see the use of alphabetical by call letters. But the way my brain remembers radio stations is by band (AM/FM) and frequency. (Maybe it is ancient muscle memory from radios you tune with a knob.) So it would be nice to have this available as a view.
(2) In a large metro area, there are transmitters in different cities and suburbs. To get the full set of stations, I have to flip around between nearby points on a map and look at different lists. (For example, in the Bay Area, you have to click SF to get KQED then click Berkeley to get KPFA.) It would be super cool if I could click on any point on the map, then see one list of all stations that a radio at that location would pick up. Getting a completely accurate list is probably complicated (topography, weather, antenna type, etc.) but distance and maybe transmitter power would give a good approximation.
