I'm not entirely sure what to make of "Radio Garden," a new interactive map launched on Monday that lets you tune in radio stations around the world in real time. But it sure was fun to play with and I love the fake "static" that comes on as you tune in a new station. 

According to The Atlantic magazine:

"Radio Garden allows you to travel not just through space, but through time—or at least time zones. So when it’s 5:08 a.m. in Nome, Alaska, and the local radio station is playing “Mercy Came Running,”—a song by the Christian trio Phillips, Craig and Dean—it’s also 5:08 p.m. in Moscow, where Haddaway’s 1993 hit “What Is Love” is on the radio.

At the same time—as in literally at the same time—you might find Bruno Mars’s “Grenade” playing in Rome, where it’s 3:08 p.m., and Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” playing in Honolulu, where it’s 4:08 a.m, and The Talking Heads’s “Wild Wild Life” playing in Buenos Aires , where it’s 11:08 a.m. (That’s in addition to all the songs in languages other than English playing everywhere from Ghana to Egypt to Mexico.)"

For some bizarre reason, every time I go to the main page, it lands me on CINA, the Indian language station on the X-Band out of Mississauga. You can see where it takes you here.
