You can listen to what thousands of radio stations across the world are broadcasting with this interactive map

Have you ever wanted to explore the world of music more easily, and discover songs and artists from around the globe?

Radio Garden allows you to do just that - here’s what you need to know.

How to use it

To begin, you’ll need to head to the Radio Garden website. From there, you can look around the globe, with each green dot representing a radio station.

Simply bring a green dot into the centre of the circle on your display, and Radio Garden will start playing that radio station.

The name of the station will appear, as well as the local time in that area. You can also pull up top radio stations in that area, and nearby stations too.

If you’ve found a station that you like, you can add it to your favourites by tapping the heart icon.

You can also search by country, city and station name if you like as well, rather than exploring around the globe, if you’re looking for something specific.

Some stations around the world are missing, but Radio Garden says that it is working hard to expand its station offerings.

Download the app

While the project initially launched as a web-only offering, there is now also an app available for use.

The app is available for free via the iOS app store, and the Android play store.

Simply search for Radio Garden in your app store, it is available to download for free.
