#3I love this website! Also, if you like this site, be sure to check out radiooooo.com for a similar premise, but with more of a historical aspect. I'll additionally plug everynoise.com solely because it has every genre of music you've ever heard of, and then thousands more!
Both sites (and radio.garden) are great for finding new music.

#4Why did I listen to a Lowe's commercial on a radio station from Port Mathurin? For reference, an island in the middle of nowhere in the Indian Ocean: https://radio.garden/visit/accacia/Y2DoPxzU
My guess is they are just streaming spotify on some VPN with a stolen account that puts them in Florida.

#5It was a challenge finding something truly foreign. I just kept stumbling across america's best hits of the 80s and 90s, all across the globe. With a steady helping of generic euro-pop.
But some revival preaching in africa really felt like visiting a foreign place, as did some cape town talk radio. Obviously the islamic world has a very different playlist, so that was a gimme. What a neat concept!

Wonderful random sounds from all over the place

#8I once had a little radio show (10 episodes or so) exploring radio garden. I picked some, contacted them for permission, talked a bit and was happy. South American classic music (Strawinsky!) vs Korean classic music (way too much Austrian influence, boring), KTRU Houston vs WFMU Jersey, Rwanda free radio as classic example of inciting genocide, lots of interesting history bits.

#10It would be great to have some radio static playing when switching radio stations.
