[grc] Radio Garden - Map of world with clickable streams for radio stations

[Wendy Schroell]

I figured out why I couldn't past the wording from the About page - it was
in white text.

Here is what it says.  At the end is how to submit your station to be
included.

About Radio Garden

By bringing distant voices close, radio connects people and places. Radio
Garden allows listeners to explore processes of broadcasting and hearing
identities across the entire globe. From its very beginning, radio signals
have crossed borders. Radio makers and listeners have imagined both
connecting with distant cultures, as well as re-connecting with people from
‘home’ from thousands of miles away – or using local community radio to
make and enrich new homes.



In the section Live, you can explore a world or radio as it is happening
right now. Tune into any place on the globe: what sounds familiar? What
sounds foreign? Where would you like to travel and what sounds like ‘home’?


In the section on History you can tune into clips from throughout radio
history that show how radio has tried to cross borders. How have people
tried to translate their nations into the airwaves? What did they say to
the world? How do they engage in conversation across linguistic and
geographical barriers?



Click over to Jingles for a world-wide crash course in station
identification. How do stations signal within a fraction of a second what
kind of programmes you are likely to hear? How do they project being
joyful, trustworthy, or up to the minute?



Then stop and listen to radio Stories where listeners past and present tell
how they listen beyond their walls. How do they imagine the voices and
sounds from around the globe? How do they use radio to make themselves at
home in the world?

project Transnational
Radio Encounters <http://transnationalradio.org/> directed by Golo Föllmer

(Humanities in the European Research Area) from 2013-2016.
