Poll, what styles of music genres do you very regularly listen to? You who vote for: Other, please tell us which genre it is. We are curious.

Perhaps podcasts as well?

Sure but I would do that separately.

In the US (is it like this where you are) licensing means that podcasts are mostly music free. And for different reasons Spotify kicks your podcasts uploads out if they have too much music in them. So podcast tends to mean blah blah here. I'm curious to know if it's different elsewhere.

Then there's the question of on-demand versus live. Podcasts are on-demand: listen when you want. Internet radio is more immediate: listen now or you miss it. A different kind of experience.

I'm a podcaster now and used to be a radio broadcaster so I'm not trying to elevate one over the other.

A hell of a lot of energy in that forest psytrance music.

Kinda reminds me of F.S.O.L. - a slightly ironic combination of big city with forest.

So there are probably radio channels for all styles of music mentioned in the thread.

Here's one with 8-10K one or two paragraph reviews. I doubt you will find more diversity than this station, But no "popular" music and their goal is to play and review music released in the last two years. The reviews go back a couple decades though. Searching a type of music will narrow it down a little but just read ten or so pages of everything first to see what I mean. I like Surf music among many other styles and find much here also Cumbia, Tango, African Highlife, you name it, good chance you will find it there. Search a country or continent or city.

I don't know how the licensing works but Andy Kershaw's podcasts are all music, apart from intros and the occasional chat with musician guests. The music is either live in his house or from his own rather large collection. <https://andykershaw.co.uk/category/podcast/>. I'm assuming there must be others like this, but confess that I haven't really looked.
