    Back in the day I ran a small Shout cast server. Once had around 40 listeners. It made teenage me happy. In a broken voice, between tracks, I’d pretend to be a radio guy on my cheap desktop microphone (those white/grey/cream sticks, you know the ones I’m sure).
    “Yo yo yo, that was a SICK beat, let’s get on down to some more funky tunes!!!”

    Fun memories.

      You mean the same microphone every desktop had in the 90’s? Boy do I!

      Any NPR music station is gonna be awesome. KEXP is probably one of the GOATs. KCMP in Minneapolis, KTBG in KC, KOPN in Columbia, Missouri, KVOQ in Denver.

      Honestly, it’s the listener supported/community run radio stations that are the best.

        Listener support doesn’t mean they are NPR. Hate to nitpick most of the time but NPR can get bent for their corporate shilling.

          Yeah, that’s why I mentioned listener supported radio/community run. As a separate statement.

          Honestly, it’s the listener supported/community run radio stations that are the best.

          I only mentioned NPR because that’s just something the average North American can relate to. Also KEXP is affiliated with NPR. So it felt relevant to mention.
