Even in the digital age, it’s an experience familiar to many: scrolling
through a radio tuner, jumping from crackled voices to clear-cut sound,
shipping forecasts to pop tunes, in the hunt for a station you want to
listen to.

Now, you can experience this on a global scale, hopping thousands of the
world’s radio stations. Launched this week, Radio.Garden is an interactive
website that presents Earth covered in tiny dots, each representing a radio
station that can be tuned into at the click of a button.

With global tensions high, anger at the political establishment and
fake-news dominating social media discussions, it feels like there has
never been a better time to enable people to reflect on human communication
on an international level. Radio.Garden allows the world to be explored
through its sounds, and while some seem foreign, many seem familiar.

At the time of writing, Classic FM Sofia is beaming out a romantic
symphony, Mali Jet is blasting out fast-paced hi-life, and over on the west
coast of the US Rockabilly Radio is, well, living up to its name.
