#2Simply awesome. Ironically, I haven't had a radio in years and I don't own a car, but I found a local radio station I've never listened to before.
The designer's website is a trip too[0].

#4Wow! This site is pretty amazing. I like how it picked up my location and tuned into a local San Francisco radio station. The I scrolled the globe and rotated into my Dad's hometown of Bombay (they call it "Mumbai" now) and it zero-ed in on a Gazhal station. This one => http://radio.garden/live/mumbai/planetradiocity/
Question to the creator / OP: Are the ads (voice ads) that play injected into the stream? I ask because even though I selected an Indian radio channel, it played a long AT&T get a go phone this holiday season blah blah blah for like 2 minutes, and the voice was American accent and also the address it said to go to was att.com/gophone (which I would think is only US customers). What gives?

TuneIn's app (at least on Android) has got worse and worse over the years. I think there's even ads in the "pro" version now that I paid for a while back. Also, why does a radio streamer need access to my contact list?

#7As it appears to me (running Chrome on Linux) it's really hard to go looking for a particular location, since it's just dots on a solid blue browser tab. Is that by design? (Also, it shows stations in Madrid, Spain at a spot that I think is a bit west of Ames, Iowa.)

#8Love the concept and simple design. Very cool. Resist those wanting land boundaries added; it will lose some mystery then.
Reminds me of that not-uncommon movie intro implying that aliens are listening to Earth, where the camera zooms in on the planet as random stations and static play.

#9I love this! I love the static when tuning as well as how quickly it starts playing from each station. The only suggestion I have it to put political boundaries so it is easier to see where you're at.
