Notes, mostly about radio

Show and Radio

I listen to a lot of internet radio. Usually while doing something else — cooking, or not concentrating on work. This is where I write down which stations turned out to be worth it.

No schedule. Things go up when I have something to say about them.

Why bother

Streaming is very good at handing me more of what I already played. It's bad at the other thing — the record I'd never have gone looking for.

Radio still does that, because somebody else is choosing and they have no idea what I listened to yesterday.
