Even though this Strong Bad email is very accurate, I love public and college radio. I think the curation it offers beats streaming and it’s how I discover new music these days.

Anyway, here are my favorite radio stations. All of these can be streamed and it is probably not a huge surprise that I own t-shirts for all of them. If you have a community radio station you like, consider supporting them if you can fit it in your budget. Funding is being cut for everything good right now and they need support.

WDET – Detroit’s NPR station. I think it has a lot of good music shows that play at night and as a local, the news programming is relevant to me as well.

WCBN-FM – The University of Michigan’s radio station. It’s pretty chaotic and they play a wide range of stuff and a lot of obscure things too.

WPRB – A community radio station in Princeton, New Jersey. I really like Jon Solomon’s show on Wednesdays and he hosts a 25 hour long Christmas music marathon every year where he stays up those entire 25 hours and plays really weird christmas music including a 40 minute version of Little Drummer Boy

KEXP – A legend in Seattle. They have helped so many bands from the area, including the whole grunge scene, and I like all the alternative rock they play
