I don't listen to much actual radio, and anyways that's so regionalized. Internet-radio-wise, I like iTunes' 3wk, which shows lots of fun "indie". It is where I first heard Louis XIV, and Modest Mouse way back in '03.

I like podcasts better than most radio-- Jared Axelrod's Voice of Free Planet X, which is all creative writing set to trippy, interesting music. I get This American Life's podcast off of their site and listen to it, because it broadcasts on real radio while I'm in school.

I don't listen to a lot of radio, but the preference will always be with Radio 2. Except Jeremy Vines, some of the people that call into that show are clearly w4nkers who know nothing (but for some reason think they're the authority in that given subject). tongue.gif

I enjoy listening to WeFunk from Montreal, they have a continuous feed, and you can DL previous shows, or Bit Torrent the latest ones. I actualy rated this station as my favorite EVA, untill they played a song I don't like.

As it's been Christmas, I've been listening to Soma's Christmas show on and off for the last few days.

Podcasts. Well I not long got my baby back, so I'll probably be subscribing to some more, but at the moment I've only signed up for two. Of those two, my favorite is Geek News Central about, well internet and software stuff, anacdotes from the presenter. The second is a 'How to' about design and stuff. I've lost the cable for my MP3 player, otherwise I think I'd be subscribed to more podcasts than I am listening to now because I'd be able to listen as a I traveled.

Is a mix of Radio 2 for music and Radio 4/BBC7 for comedy (I'm a big fan of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue) - Radio 1 is ok in the evenings but in the day its too predictable

And the station I hate most: Gemini - too many adverts, awful DJ's, worse Music and on at work constantly

No.

www.whatson.com/mojo is my station of choice when online. Apart from that, I hardly listen to the radio at all, apart from Home truths on BBC 4 when I'm on my way to work on a Saturday morning.

EDIT- I have been listening to The Doors' radio on their website recently. It is currently playing a recorded gig in New York- and I must say it is breathtaking.

My girlfriend swears by BBC 6 Music, which is a UK digital radio station. It tends to play loads of indie-ish style music, so they were very much behind Franz Ferdinand and others like them a while back when they were becoming big. I've only listened to it for an hour or two, because I prefer stuff without lyrics when I'm working, but in that time all I heard were songs that I loved.

When I listen to online music I usually click onto Digitally Imported, http://www.di.fm/ . I like their trance and chillout stations. It's just huge streams of ambient and trance music that doesn't tax the brain while keeping the ears happy with nice swooshy noises. I love not having to think 'what shall I listen to next?' every 45 minutes because I'm already very good at distracting myself from work as it is!

I don't listen to the radio much because I hate most of what's popular in America lately, but sometimes I listen to 90.1, which is just lots and lots of classical music that sounds interesting. I don't bother with any radio station websites.

Well, I can get southeast Georgia's 107.7 The Fox from my part of Florida. They play everything from classic rock to heavy metal to grunge to post-modern rock. Jacksonville has a few good stations. Planet Radio 107.5 plays metal and rock (more rock these days), Rock 104.5 does mainly classic rock and 102.9: The Point does late 70s, 80s and early 90s.

I'm sure they all have websites, but I don't feel like linking them.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, I used to listen to Y-100, but they changed format from alt rock to rap sometime after Spiffy and I went to Philadelphia. Bummer.
