My favourite station on lofi.cafe was the synth space ambiance one, glad to see a web radio dedicated to synthwave and other electronic music genres. Hopefully it doesn't hoard CPU as lofi.cafe did.

Isn't this basically Soma.fm?

Your comment reminded me of it, I spent years of my life there. Glad to see it's still alive!

Does anyone know if an internet radio station like this exists but is not only restricted to a few genres?

I really enjoy Soma.FM which has a wider range of genres. The cult classic is "Groove Salad"

Edit: There's also the free-with-ads, or paid subscription option, of digitally imported (Di.FM)

I'd never heard Orson Welles' radio play "War of the Worlds" [1] before.

Just spent the last 40 minutes or so listening to the whole thing on this website. Only at the intermission does it become obvious that this is a radio drama.

That was really good, and I can only imagine it was incredible back in 1938.

edit: I just went back to the site and it appears to be gone!

edit 2: It's on YouTube, but Rekt's radio dropped me right into the action (~16:30). It felt much more real without the backstory or scene setting. A good way to experience it.
